    Peronally, any match vs. England would be infinitely more interesting.

    Love them or hate them, they bring interest and hype to this tournament.
    Who gives a **** if Ghana meet Argentina, or Brazil meet Chile etc etc.

    When ever England are involved it generates the real interest.

    We spend the year watching British soccer, British tv, reading British papers etc...

    Argentina look like an under 7 team with the home jerseys and away shorts. Should they not be in their full home strip as winners of the group and Mexico in their away kit? Did the Mexicans mammies forget to pack the away strip?

    Argentina to win.

    Messi and Maradonna. It's a shame that they will have to play Germany though. I doubt Germany would win and wouldn't be able to decide who I'd like to see through.


    Germany-Argentina would have been the ideal final.

    Messi should have passed there. He's dying to get a goal.

    The WC is getting more interesting now that all the trash like France and England and the poor Italian team are out.

    Would rather have seen USA than Ghana. Who gives a fúck about African pride and all that manure?

    I wanted Ghana to get through as they are the only African team left in a WC held in Africa. They deservely got through and hopefully they can go further and do Africa proud

    It only takes one bad game and you can be knocked out. However I do see Uruguay winning this match comfortably and can see them getting into the final if they continue on current form.

    I'm hoping Mehico take out the Argies tonight. If they do then my prediction of the finalists will be much more likely to come true

    What if a ref or linesman makes a mistake like this in the final? There will be riots!

    FFS-goals being given that aren't goals, goals not been given that are goals, this world cup is fcuked up!

    Offside.

    On the Big Screen.



    BUT

    He can't change his mind. If he did it would be worse. That would really rub salt in the English wounds (which I suppose wouldn't be a bad thing.)

    Hehehe

    This is why it's the worlds #1 game. It's the closest representation to life that we have in sport. You can work hard for years, make yourself the best you can be and then after all that you still get fúcked over.

    They even had a big bloody chat about it but they can't change the decision.
    Ah that's bloody ridiculous. There's the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. That goal should not stand and might put the Mexicans out.

    I'd be amazed if they still refuse to have video refs after this WC. Goal-line assts are pointless.. they're as fallible as the other officials

    damn.. 2-0 now =( Their confidence is shot
