Haha. He's not liked.

He did take them to the final but you're right. He needs to update his strategy for his new team. Sort of a play on previous English coacjhes taking the same stalwarts instead of injecting new blood into the team.

Nice to hear those fucking vuvuzelas being used slightly better but it is becoming a large drone again. Hope fully the English and Yanks will be able to do something with them. Like use them as a weapon so they get banned.

 

COME ON DRUNKEN ENGLISHMEN! Your country, nay the world needs you.

I hope someone really does that. I'm anti-violence, but the Vuvuzela's sound is too much >_<

And it's preventing the public to hear the Ode to Joy cheer of the S.Korea fans in the S.Korea - Greece It's one of the best cheers ever.

I re-read my comment. I have to clarify that the organisers said if one simply gets thrown onto the pitch they will be classes as a weapon and banned.

I don't actually want them to be used to hurt someone. Although there seems to be millions of people around the world getting sore ears and headaches from hearing them.

I want the chants I'm used to later today. Chanting is one of the great things about Football. It lifts a game but at the moment i doubt the atmosphere will be there.

At least the big Vuvuzelas drown out the sound of the 'baby' ones.

I was impressed with South Korea today.

 

And now, let's hope Argentina lose

If France did that poorly against, arguably, the easiest team on the group, they're pretty much domed. Unless somehow they muster some actual football techniques or another shady hand appears, they're won't make it through to the next round.


I doubt Uruguay is the easiest team on the group, I think they have better players than both south africa and mexico.

Uruguay has Forlan as their best player, with Suarez and Lodeiro as the next in line, other than that, most of them aren't that high profile.

Mexico has Carlos Vela, Rafa Marquez and Ricardo Osorio. 

Also, it's not about the individual quality of the players, is how they play together as a team. And Mexico has shown that they can play better as a team than Uruguay. I seriously see Mexico winning against Uruguay and France, going first in the group

Dude Im Mexican. Carlos Vela is nothing. Marquez, he good. OSorio.... O.o

 

Uruguay has better players than Mexico. Still, I hope Mexico can win vs France. SA is the weakest in the group (supposed to be at least)

Argentina are looking pretty good, though Guitierez isn't a right back.

And I defo think that the BBC and ITV over here in the UK have tweaked their audio settings. They seem to have increased the commentary volume and decreased the noise of those elephant tubes :) Happy Days.

Now England, let's go!

Carlos Vela does good matches in Arsenal and has good technique and positional feeling inside the area. Kinda like Forlan, except for the strike potency. 

I also forgot Dos Santos too.

To me, I think Uruguay is the worst team in Group A. South Africa may have the lowest skill overall, but never count out the home factor.

Both Argentina and Nigeria played really bad.

Argentina look good on the attack, but terrible at the back.

Up against a solid team i think they could struggle greatly.

 

Now, let's keep our fingers crossed that Heskey falls over and breaks his leg in the next hour!

Well, I can tell you Uruguay players at least are more expensive(doesnt say much, but its something) and most of them come from a higher level of football, considering the teams which they have to play in their zone. If you ask people that follow Americas qualification and teams they would tell you Uruguay has better players.

Anyway, for me, there isnt a clear winner in this group, it appears to me like SA is the weakest, but they are playing home, Uruguay and France seem to have better players but they arent playing good as a team and Mexico for me is playing good but they find it hard to score goals.
