Yakubu from 12 yards > Yakubu from 5 yards. 2-2, doesn't affect the group situation yet though. Korea still going through.

Because I was stupid enough to think that one of the supposed best playing nations at this competition would at least score 1 goal They have, they've scored two

Yakubu with the worst miss of all time

1. Argentina will advance if they lose by fewer than 3 goals or the combined margin is less than 5. Korea Republic will advance if they win by a greater margin than Greece or the combined margin is greater than 5. Greece will advance if they win by at least 3 goals or by a greater margin than Korea Republic. Group winner will be: Argentina if they lose by 1 or 2 goals and the combined margin is less than 5; Korea Republic if they win by a greater margin than Greece and the combined margin is at least 6; Greece if they win by at least 3 goals and by a greater margin than Korea Republic. Greece and Argentina cannot finish even with each other on goal difference. Korea Republic can finish even on points and goal difference with either Argentina or Greece: (a) with Argentina if the combined margin is exactly 5 goals; for 1st if Argentina lose by 1 or 2 goals, for runner-up if Argentina lose by 3 or 4 goals. Korea republic must score at least 3 goals more than Argentina to hold the tiebreak advantage. (b) with Greece if they win by the same margin; for 1st if they win by at least 3 goals, for runner-up if they win by 1 or 2 goals. Greece must score at least 2 goals more than Korea Republic to hold the tiebreak advantage.

2-1 Korea, the first goal direct from a free kick at the tournament? Not exactly a screamer though.

I wonder if your listening to Motson. Rivaldo was never suspended for it.

I think Lawrenson's been quite funny tonight

Breaking News: France squad refused to train this afternoon

That's a lush goal.

Clive's such a fucking idiot

Indeed no. How not? Klose was in an offside position when the ball was first played, then, when it was squared, he is surely active. He didn't touch the ball but players have to watch him etc. so he is altering the play. Fucking hell. This changed years and years and years ago and people still don't get it?

Indeed no.

Graham Poll? The refereeing so far has been great, but this guy will probably change that. He's the idiot they call 'Chiqui Dracula' in Mexico, did England v Paraguay 4 years ago and was shite.

Could've been a red on its own that.

Was just going to say...that commentary on the Maxi Rodriguez goal was just ridiculous

And apparently, you need goals to be winners.

Meanwhile Peter Dreary makes it sound like a tap-in in training.

Brian Moore? The Metro Radio DJ?

Some lovely football being played. None of it by England.

Anyone fancies a laugh, the 1998 Playoff Final is on ESPN Classic in a couple of minutes.

Sad to see Alan O'Brien is still all pace and no ability.

Why are their strikers so shit? Fantastic ball in.

Incredibly stupid defending, that. Got away with it though
