I've got a good feeling about nK v. Portugal. Think the totalitarian communist bastards might nick something here. Ronaldo in tears after a 0:1 loss

Kiwi fan flashing the Korean flag in the front row there

blatantly went down after he let go of the shirt

New Zealand has just brightened my day

No point speculatin really. For all we know Andy Carroll could be leading the line after his 40 million pound summer move to Real Madrid. That said, I have to say the current England team is eerily similar to the 2006 one.

looks like a broken nose. Ouch

f***, Paintsil bleeding from his head. Doesn't look good

This is a pretty epic match as far as 1-1 draws go, will be awesome if the Aussie's get a winner. Can't believe Joshua fucking Kennedy is giving Ghana so much trouble

Korean Commentators' Random fact of the day: Anthony Annan is the nephew of former UN Secretary General Koffi Annan.

Aussies That is just head in hands.

Damn, Ghana are actually a very good side. I mean, I knew they were good but some of the stuff they play is absolute class. Imagine where they'd be with Essien.

This game just got really interesting

Good one

Aussies' singing audible through the Vuvuzelas. Good on them.

Really hope the Aussies take this just to make the last day absolutely insane for this group.

If it's any consolation, this time four years ago France had drawn one match 0-0 and one match 1-1 to highly inferior opposition. They looked s*** and hopeless. They won their third game and things worked out okay for them in the end.

You could watch Argentina on Tuesday and see how a player comes deep for ball but still manages to influence a game. Greece will win 1-0 just to make my life miserable

Best performance in about a year for the Japanese. Too bad it didn't matter. Holland would be a great team if they could just sort out their "4 CMs and Kuyt" midfield.

What a miss

Wesley Sneijder, can I have your babies?

Funny how the only pre-tournament favorite living up to the hype is crazy Diego and his gang.

When are Holland going to realize that teams can nullify them if they just pack the center of the park? They have no width in their starting XI. Bring Elija on FFS

Let's go Holland. I'll be physically sick if this lot book a place in the second round.

I was eight, playing up front for probably the first and last time in my life. I was closing the keeper down as he made a goalkick, and the ball flew straight into my face, gave me a nosebleed, and rolled into the net. That's the story of one of the two goals I've scored in my entire life. The other one was a pen

Well, it's on a plate for us now. Couldn't have asked for a better situation.q
