My person will blush now, Miz!

That's the point.

What a goal.

Nicely done. Goal Forlan!

I just can't believe Moose is the starting GK for his country in a World Cup already! And he's what, 12 years old? In contrast, it took Dida three tries to accomplish that.

-1 cookie for being a bad fangirl, Miz. It's his 24th birthday today.

Well, I knew he was in his 20s (it's his birthday TODAY? Damn!), but he looks 12 years old. He's just so...adorable.

He is. I like him -- felt so dreadful for him during his first game for Lazio (when we put 5 past him). He's a fighter though, and is really quite a good keeper. My person describes him as 'looks like he's 12' too.

EDIT:

Khune brings down Luis Suarez in the area, sent off for his troubles. Forlan converts the penalty.

South Africa 0-2 Uruguay

FT. 0-3

Deserved win for Uruguay, but.. I feel terribly sorry for South Africans

I still remember that. And the Milan players sensed something about him also that they tried to cheer him up after the game. He and Dida even exchanged jerseys. I'd like to see him and Uruguay do well so it'll make Lazio's horrible season easier to swallow.

Khune was sent off? As in Dida/Robinho's love child?

I would too, but I like Uruguay so much!!
I have a feeling we will see Mexico and Uruguay in the next round.

Btw. question: why isn't Walter Gargano a starter? Injury or tactics, or?

looks like we'll be seeing the first host nation not make the qualifiers

of course...i also thought the US wasn't going to make it through to the knockout round of the conf. cup either.

Glad South Africa is out.

good to see a team do well...tired of these defensive games.

(not in theory, but okay)

Why exactly?

Glad U. won, but at the same time I kinda feel bad for the host team.

A nice little nod to the GK who looks like a long-lost member of Menudo. Two games, two clean sheets.

Hopefully the Africans lose interest now and give those damn horns a rest.

I loathe the vuvuzuelas, and South Africa going out makes me feel good. The WC is not a circus.

+1

hahaha, I just knew it had something to do with the vuvuzela's

(yeah, they are annoying)

+BBBBBBZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

With all the energy and hot air the fans have spent blowing into those things, they could've powered a few wind turbines down there.

Was a rumour going round a while back about a footballing affair and an injuction was put on the case, apparently it gets lifted on Sunday. Will be very disappointed in the paper if they do release it during the World Cup and put unnecessary trouble on the player involved. If it is the person most think.. let's just say he has a few not very nice friends and I wouldn't want to be the News of the World writer that found the story and decided to publish, though he deserves it.

Eh, ok....who do you think the player is?

Let's just say our England captain won't be very happy.

If it's what I think it is, it could keep the tabloids busy for months.

if swiss were to draw against Chile, then i think they could easily beat Honduras. which would mean they'll top their group leaving spain to fight for second place and potentially facing brazil in round of 16


long shot, but slightly possible.

I'm gonna throw this one out there: Spain loses against Chile in their final game. Chile and Switzerland make it through.

Hopeful? Very much so, but entirely possible!

I don't think Spain will have any problem beating their South/Central American opponents. Switzerland and the catenaccio they played was a different story... whether they will finish as group winners, I'm not sure. but I hope they do cause I don't want one between Brazil or Spain go out in the first knockout round.

Spain need to work togther and if they learn from their mistakes from last game
It won't be a problem but Im so glad Uruguay won last night:D
South Africa tried at least

HT. Argentina 2-1 South Korea

Good game. 3 goals in one half I'd suspected there would be more goals in the 2nd round and so far they haven't disappointed. 3 last night, 3 so far in this game.

Tevez has been MotM so far IMO. followed by Messi and Di Maria.

Screw you Higuain when I play you, you're crap. when I sub you, you score.

Sorry but Messi is not playing good not becuase he's not scoring just that he seems withdrawn
But great game, Im impressed.

such a pity he [a South Korean] missed

and yeah, Messi WC star? hahahahahahahahahahaa!!!

+1.

Did the same for me. I might have to send him to the bathtub!

We finally agree on one thing
I tought it was goal

HAHAHA, Maradona still got it, even if he's little

yeah I thought it too

Messi only can hit the goalkeeper...

Messi unlucky. very good game

Argentine looking to be the most qualified to win the World cup,but their defense is a bit lacking.
The Real madrid striker scores a hat trick!He didn't do much for them though,average performance by him.

Higuaín hattrick.. damn

I think Germany still holds that title atm.


Higuain hat trick!! Good thing I left him in my fantasy squad! I thought about subbing him too

They were very easy goals to score IMO

oh dear God, screw u Higuain !'
I thought the second goal was off side, the one from Messi when he hit the pole.

To add insult to injury, he adds 2 more goals to his name please do send him to the bathtub!

Btw, Aguero has been kicking *** since he's come on. very good game by him.


That's Higuain for you.

FT. 4-1. I think the result is a bit unfair to SK. they weren't THAT bad.

no, I tought it would end 3-2 to Argentina but 4-1, South Korea was pretty good.

Yep, South Korea is IMO favourite for 2nd spot.

FT Greece 2-1 Nigeria. somewhere, dst is celebrating.

Late game today is France-Mexico. This is one of the very few times ever that this fish will be cheering for El Tri.

Viva France!

Them's fightin' words, zeddie!

Throw zeddie in the tank I say!!!
