Very much looking forward to this. Serbia look excellent. Just wish Ghana had Essien, one of my favorite players.

I just wish this last one had been the 3:30am match for me instead of Germany v. Australia, which I'd love to watch. Two sweet ones tomorrow though: Denmark v. Netherlands, and Japan v. Cameroon. Eto'o v. Tulio

After Brazil v. North Korea, I'm pretty sure the average goal # for all matches in the tournament will be somewhere around 3.

Slovenia's first point, and first win in the WC ever. I remember what that feels like

Worst handball ever followed by the second worst keeping error ever.

oh, right. Never mind then.

Henry wannabe Looks like we'll STILL be the only team in this tournament with three points after this match.

We're completely playing the Greek fuckers off the pitch by the way. I have to say this is distinctly unfamiliar territory for South Korea at a World Cup

He's doing his national service in the Korean Army. We have a military football team. I technically outrank him I'm completely piss drunk by the way

Just one hour till kick off. Cooking in my house with some mates. One way or another, i will be piss drunk and unconscious in three hours time.

This has anti-climatic plopper written all over it.

This is one of those matches where you know it in your bones that nobody is going to score.

God France are terrible. Don't know why Uruguay feel the need to be playing so negatively against them. Could probably outscore them if they gave it a go.

http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/06/08/usa-world-cup-2010-tactics/ Can't remember who posted it first, but that is such a good site. I posted it a couple of days ago It is a cracking site. Hadn't seen the US had been put up yet like, cheers. Just spent an hour there. Great site. Wish they could be bothered to write a more coherent review of South Korea, but oh well.

Man, I miss hosting the World Cup.

Oh my God it's starting today

I'd love to play England in a knockout match once, just for the banter on here

I feel better about holding them to one now.

http://cfs11.tistory.com/image/4/tistory/2009/01/08/17/30/4965b9b0aedf8 Can't decide if I want to watch our first group match out on the streets or indoors. Watching the WC outdoors in the crowd is a unique experience and the atmosphere is amazing. On the other hand, it's annoying as fuck to get there and back and I won't even be able to see the big screen properly unless I arrive three hours in advance and scout out a spot. Also it will be hot and sweaty and I will barely be able to reach into my icebox and pull out my beer.

it's not, not even close, it's about on a par with semi-pro football in the UK I don't know what your background is but somehow I don't think you'd be in a better position to judge the merits of the Korean league than I am. Oldtype have you been to K-league games?! I have been living in Korea (and Japan) on and off for quite a few years and have attended quite a few K-league games also. Absolutely no way in hell that the K-keague is on par with the Championship. I have an FC Seoul season ticket, and I think they're roughly comparable. Okay, I admit, it might be because I have an FC Seoul season ticket. Your mileage may vary significantly lower down the table. That said, the Championship isn't that good tbh.

He's not a physically strong player by any stretch of the imagination, but he also suffers from the fact that like most Koreans, he looks ganglier than he actually is. If I had to bet my life I'd say that he's not good enough for the PL but oh well, stranger things have happened. http://ojsfile.ohmynews.com/STD_IMG_FILE/2008/0805/IE000946595_STD.jpg This is what one of our strongest players, who outmuscles most defenders he comes up against, looks like
