Messi's shite.

I'm surprised it went past the defender

Nice goal. Fucking hell, the Argies are up for this.

It's 3-4-3. I see Jonas right, Heinze left, which means 4 at the back. Then I see Messi, Higuain and Tevez up front, which means it's a 4-3-3. Leo, man, leo

Higuain, fucking hell.

Looks like it's 4-3-3.

Are the Argies playing 4-4-2 or 3-5-2?

Exactly. Fucking nuts.

Jonas

and Leo is his 'guy'.

Maradona looks like a mob boss.

The quality of the pitches has surprisingly been very good. I half-expected Wembley-esque pitches where the only feasible option is to lump it long, but the organisers have done well to create pitches which are very flat and slick, which helps teams which like to pass it on the ground.

It's time for Leo

Remember the Americans only qualified because they play in a continent that's devoid of any footballing quality. If they were playing in Europe, they would have come 4th (out of 5) in whatever group they were in.

I'm not saying I don't think we're capable of it, just that we normally start slowly and there's an element of getting carried away about how easy the group will be. Yes we should be comfortable but it's never that simple with us. The difference this time I guess is Capello. He's playing nice now because there's a sliver of doubt in his mind about his team's quality, but trust me, when Rooney smashes one in after 20 minutes, he'll realise that you guys are shit.

The Americans are shit, man. The score just depends on which England side shows up, and I have a feeling that you'll beat them easily because none of their defenders will be able to contain Rooney.

Who do you have in the game later, Apisith? England 3-0 But I want your boys to do well. Though the worst possible thing about you doing well is the fact that your press would be unbearably arrogant. I can just imagine the SportsCenter anchors laughing smugly, enjoying doing well in a sport that most of the people don't even give a shit about. What about their press! What about The Sun! We would be smug?! They've been fucking smug since November! Unbelievable, Apisith! They're pretty decent, though. You're shit

Third WC that Park has scored in.

Awesome goal by Park. Fantastic.

Sweepstake on the number of pages in this thread by the WC's end. I say 621.

That's a pelanty.

Get in!

Come on the Koreans, the Argies.... ...and the Americans.

Gonna be a good day of football.
