The Football Thread

Yes i'm also wary about England facing Argentina but i agree the weakest link is Maradonna and with the players they have it's astounding how they scraped by to qualify.After seeing Inter Milan in the CL i'm as worried about Milito in front of the goal as i am about Messi.

Fedinand's departure is a bit of a blow though he had been struggling with fitness for a while.Haven't seen too much of his replacement Matthew Dawson but i hear he has been impressive with Tottenham  all season.

All kicks off in a few hours.I reckon:-

South Africa 0 Mexico 3

Uruguay o France 2

Uruguay 1 France 0

Well predicted Titoli.

Good second half i think and a fair result.

What a bore that was! Can't believe how mediocre the French were.

I didn't see a match today (I'm not a  Sky subscriver) but i read that Henry complained with the referee about a hand foul in the box.

Today's matches. I really haven't got a clue about these teams:

South Korea - Greece 2-0  

Argentina - Nigeria 3 - 1

England - USA  (I'd rather not to express a prediction ) This is very hard because USA have been England's nightmare since 1950. But England have to demonstrate that this time they're playing for keeps. So it's  2-1.

You can watch any game live online on either the BBC iplayer or ITVplayer.

Henry the hyprocrite!

South Korea 1 Greece 1
 Argentina 2 Nigeria 0
England 1 USA 0

Yes i think the USA game is going to be tight.I'm hoping we can keep a clean sleet but as ever i'm nervous about the odd defensive/goalkeeping howler which historically we are prone to in the big games.

[Banjo]

They are expecting the USA to bring far more many fans than any other country for this World Cup.Isn't this amazing considering that football is still very much a minority sport in over there?

[Banjo]

Result:South Korea 2 Greece 0

Good prediction again Titoli!!

I'm off out now to see the other two games.I wonder if Maradonna's "fair play" side will be as gracious if they lose as they were when they went out on penaltys four years ago?
