My résumé of todays WC day:

South Korea - Greece

 - Nice game thanks to the Koreans. They played really well. Greece was massive dissapointment. Only the las 15 minutes were good.

Argentina - Nigeria

- Once more a nice game. Argentina played well, but they (especially Messi) missed a lot of good chances. Nigeria were dangerous a few times and they had an awesome keeper.

England - USA

 - Best game so far IMO. The US boys were almost equal to England and they played pretty good all around. Tim Howard played especially well. Rooney tried hard, but he wasn't able to show his true strength. Green was simply hilarious.

what do you think its gonna happen tomorrow?

Epic face from Beckham just after USA's goal. Worthy the entire match.

Eww looks like he was going to murder Green. Anyways.

Tomorrow I expect Serbia to win over Ghana and Germany to stomp Australia to oblivion.

I think we'll see even better and more entertaining games tomorrow :)

And hopefully a game with more than 2 goals...

I didn't watch Korea x Greece, but Argentina x Nigeria and England x USA were both good games IMO. but the second half of both games (and yesterday's France x Uruguay) was just disappointing. you can clearly notice that the players are not in their best condition.

Higuain and Rooney weren't that well, and I also believe Heskey should have been subbed in the half time (considering he was in the starting lineup, I think Defoe should have been the best choice). I think Lennon played really well, and Messi was almost what you'd expect from him.

I played with a replica of the Jabulani today, it's not the same but I believe it must be similar, because you just can't reach the ball if the pass is too long.

btw, I loved the Brentford flags haha you would never see any flag from a third-division club from Brazil



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Nobody blame the football for Green's appalling performance, please. Tim Howard did fine.

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!


Heskey just created that goal for Gerrard.

Heskey > Crouch

True.

Heskey actually was arguably our best player tonight.

Rooney - Shite.

Gerrard - Played well

Lampard - Meh

Defence - Meh

Green - On the plane home.
