Argentina-Ivory Coast 2-1
Holland-Ivory Coast 2-1
So we are on the same level as Argentina  !
OK, to be serious, our marking in the defence was poor, our midfield was invisible, the forward players were too selfish and the Dutch team made many, too many fouls. Thanks to some brilliant moments we were lucky to win from Ivory Coast, what a pity they have to go home after their game against Serbia ..  !
But on the other hand, isn't it a quality to go through to the 1/8 finals after two games..  ..?!

Well, having seen the way England totally destroyed the might of Trinidad & Tobago last night, compared with the way lucky Argentina fluked their way past Serbia & Montenegro today, it's clear that Argentina will be quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing Crouch, Carragher & Cole....... |
Couldn't have put it better myself - Crouch's pinpoint accuracy, coupled with our midfield's interesting tactic of fannying around in the middle of the pitch to give the opposition's defence time to sort themselves out, means that we will see an Englishman lift the World Cup - assuming we all live to at least 140.

I think Mexico will still go through memowakeman... The trouble is, they will probably meet Argentina in the knockout stage

hahah... you all did look out of sorts in the first half... other
than that...bad luck (a couple of posts) and one hell of a save...and
it could have been 2 or 3 to nill, you all deserved 3 points out
of that. Those last 10 minutes were quite exciting to watch.

micky:
Are the US playing Italy tomorrow? Wouldn't bet on them......
I think, in terms of achievement vs potential, the US have disappointed me more than any other team so far (I expected England to be crap; but, yes, it's early days, and the US might yet qualify for the next round.) I had a sneaking feeling that they might be this year's surprise semi-finalist, in the same way as South Korea & Turkey were last time around. They have been steadily getting better, year on year, and I thought they were up for a big breakthrough. But, against the Czechs, they were - well, a bit limp, to be honest. Tidy, neat, as always, but with no threat. Well coached, as always, but when you see the aggressiveness with which the Americans play American Football, baseball, basketball or ice hockey, the soccer players seem - well, somewhat girly  . (One could be mischievious and suggest that in soccer, unlike, say, baseball, steroids are not tolerated, and that this might account for the difference in aggression.) Strange that the US can't find a Ronaldo (as was - not this years version), a Crespo, a Drogba, a Robben - or even a Rooney. My wife (a Yank by birth) thinks it might be because the best athletes go where the money is - the big 4 sports mentioned earlier, or athletics - but surely there are enough left over to dominate at soccer? I'm puzzled.......

Vamos Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing. Unlike our debut, here we played to our standard.
I wish they give more time to Tevez/Messi (the soccer virtuosos)
It's a shame that Lucho Gonzales is hurt, he's a great player.

IF USA WANTS TO WIN, THEY MUST SCORE WHEN THEY GOT THE CHANCE...IF THEY DON'T...ITALY WILL WIN FOR SURE...THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH GHANA, TOGO AND EVEN IVORY COAST...EXPERIMENTED TEAMS ARE MERCILESS WHEN THEY HAVE THE CHANCE TO SCORE GOALS...

BY THE WAY...THAT'S THE ARGENTINA WE ALL KNEW AND WANTED TO SEE AND IS GREAT THAT THEY FINALLY OVERCOME THOSE DEMONS OF THEIR ELIMINATION THE LAST WC AT KOREA/JAPAN...NOW IF THEY SUCCEED THEY WILL WIN THEIR THIRD CHAMPIONSHIP...ALIKE ITALY, BRAZIL AND GERMANY IF ARGENTINA DOESN'T WIN THE WC THEIR CAMPAIGN WILL ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED AS A FAILURE...
MEXICO DOES NOT PLAY LIKE OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT I EXPECT THEY COULD DO A GREAT GAME AGAINST PORTUGAL...A TOUGH RIVAL...BUT MEXICO HAS OVERCOME MANY GREAT SQUAD...SO... METELE GARRA Y CORAZON MEXICO!!!!
