All I know is they played good enough to get in to the world cup. Not that they will get any farther.
 
Argentina vs Nigeria

What are the odds, guys? :)

Me thinks Argentina will win - but not by much.

in hell, perhaps

3rd place, at best. Assuming the Korean crowd dont get behind their team.

The bad part is even the sports reporter here aren't expecting the USA to make it past the first round. Now I need to find another team to support in the second round.

okay, first place is going to Portugal *drool* FIGO *droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool*, but neither Poland nor Korea are THAT good. Okay, Poland is good but they have been a bit whackey lately as well.

Who's going to make it from Killer Group F (Argentina, England, Nigeria, Sweden) do you think?

I admit... Luis does have cool hair :D

Poland have a phoenomenal 'keeper... Korea have nobody

Why... England and Argentina of course! :D

So The whole Dixon-Adams-Keown-Winterburn-Seaman-Parlour-Wright connections with England don't do anything for you?

Whereas the Henry-Vieira-Wiltord-Pires link obviously does... :rolleyes:

Luis is Mr Cool - he is a sexappeal like nobody else. Damn, ever since I saw him in his sleeveless shirt in the Nike Ad I'm practically haunted by this image.
Quick! Get me a drool bucket! :D

I don't think Poland is going to do that well given the climate change. They didn't have that much money to prepare themselves in South-East-Asian training camps. Korea... well, we'll see.

England... pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff... well... if you say so :D

Heh. They'll be there.

U-S! <clap clap clap> U-S! <clap clap clap>

(Dammit, I made my own US chant!! :D )
 
Argentina over Nigeria 1-0 in a pretty good match. I was impressed with how Nigeria played, especially with an injured and obviously under-par Kanu.

Yes good game, and both teams in England's group.

We play in 2 hours and I'm getting nervous...

We haven't beaten Sweden in 35 years!

I'm up with insomnia and watching Paraguay/South Africa. Not as good as the game before thus far, though.

I'll watch England/Sweden later on today. ESPN is showing the replay at 3:30 Eastern time. I'll roll tape and watch it when I"m in from work. It sounds like it's going to be a hell of a game.

Good luck on you!
