Not a fan of the vuvuzela's then? I personally find the background hum a bit like being near a bee-hive. I'm not entirely sure what everyone is complaining about :laugh:

I'm waiting to watch the 1st match of C?te d'Ivoire against Portugal... in the D group 3 teams got chance to win but I think the team to beat its Brazil so... Portugal and C?te d'Ivoire will decide who gonna be in the next round

Teams to watch:

C?te d'Ivoire (Drogba factor will help them), South Africa (they are holding the World cup that's always helpful), Chile (they end 2nd in the South American Classification for the world cup), Portugal (they made a great job in the past world cup) and Netherlands they are always good team to beat

Why I'm not including Germany? They are a new generation of players starting most of them their 1st World Cup and... Michael Ballack isn't playing so... I think they will be like learning this world cup

actually brazil is in group G. germany, australia, ghana and serbia are in D.

i wouldnt say most but for a lot of german players its the first world cup. but on the other hand you shouldnt forget there are also a lot of experienced players on germanys team. and the new, younger players are in the team because they played a great season. some of them even won the german soccer championship, the German Football Federation Cup and were in the champions league final. thats why i think we still have a great team and that we are able to get to the finals.

Haha, the tale of two goal keepers. Howard was excellent for team usa, rob green "DOH!!" rooney of england was kept in check and Jozy Altidore had a shot richochet off the crossbar, USA showed heart and england wellll...not so much. Team USA easily could have come out with 3 points and england well, woulda coulda shoulda.
 
Go Nigeria GO! (lol jk, i don't have anything against Nigerians btw)
No seriusly, i'm pulling for Germany, even when i not paying much attention to the game at all.
Anyway, it's just family stuff the reason i like the German team (And is not that Michael Ballack is Uncle... ok?)
 
saw some awesome games until now, i enjoyed the opening game of south africa, but it was a deserved draw, uruguay against france was a game to forget fast, urugay did excitilent but the tactical instructions off france were rubish!
South korea then against greece was enjoyable but its almost understandable that the same greece group was european champions in 2004.
Argenitina against nigeria was most exciting game until now, i saw a good tactical plan of argentina and a brave nigiria who fought hard but didn't deserve a point.
Last match until now between england and the usa was a fun match to see but i exepcted more espescially of england. The keeper made a blunder and overal the us can be satisfied they had a draw in a thrilling match, they were lucky they met england in their first match on the world cup, otherwise the would have been punished severe.
Anyway i hope to see more exciting games.

In general: i predict a world cup with a lack of goals due to 2 reasons
1) the ball wich is very light and hard to keep it down (so a lot of shots will go over the post)
2) after watching the first 5 matches i see a trend of very skilled teams that now how to use and play with tactics, its gonna be a very tactical world cup and thriliing in most matches (can't wait)

Who's gonna win their group/become second:
a) Mexico/South Africa
b) Argentina/South Korea
c) England/usa
d) Germany/Serbia
e) Netherlands/Cameroon
f) Italie/Slovakia
g) Brazil/Ivory Coast
h) Spain/Chili
Overall favorites: Argentina, The Netherlands, Spain.

predictions for tomorrow:
- algeria - slovenia : 1-0
- serbia - ghana: 1-0
- germany - austarlia: 2-0

UPDATE

Well just now able to get to a computer so here is the update.

What another great round played by all the teams, although some mistakes happened that irritated me beyond belief. After skimming some of the posts before me I see you all feel the same way lol.

Here were the scores for the latest matches:

Argentina v. Nigeria 1-0
Korea Republic v. Greece 2-0

AND THE MOST SHOCKING MATCH:

England v. U.S.A 1-1

The upcoming matches for June 13, 2010 are:

Algeria v. Slovenia 4:30 PST
Germany v. Australia 11:30 PST
Serbia v. Ghana 7:00 PST

Enjoy :)
 
honestly england vs. usa wasnt rly a shocking game. if we are honest we would remeber that england pretty much failed in the past european championships as well as the world cups.
thats why i think england is gonna fail again.
 
England has a good team they just didn't do well yesterday don't get me wrong glad USA got the tie but England didn't play as well as they should have
 
England should have at least won that game 3-0 i reckon they felt sorry for spilling oil.
