Also I want this noted who doesn't want England to qualify?

Me :D That wasn't too hard to guess ;)

Oh well. Now which team will I support? I guess I'll go for Netherlands since my BFF is from there :)

Mexico has to face Argentina now from the start we played a bad game, but if we wanna beat Argentina we will need to play really well and alot better then today. The next game against Argentina is where Dos Santos and Hernandez will have to show they have it and I hope Ochoa finally gets a shot at the goalie spot, because with Perez we are at a weak spot there.

Also I think it's good that we lost in the world cup today against Uruguay that way we get it out of our system and we know that the next rounds you can't make any mistakes, but overall let's see how they prepare for the possible match up against Argentina anyone else who agrees with me please comment. Also I want this noted who doesn't want England to qualify?

There is a small chance of Mexico coming against Korea or Greece still.

I want England to qualify being English. If you want shocks look at the proper big teams, we're only small. :D

Went, France were defending champs in 2002 and got only one point but didn't even score a goal there and went out in the group stages. In 2002 too, Uruguay vs France was 0-0.

Hmm, true, they have managed to score one goal this time. But the Anelka affair gives extra points.

Why do everybody think "vuvuzelas" are annoying. I find they give a pretty nice environment.

The reason they are disliked is that they are dangerously loud. They can produce noise up to 131 decibels and ear damage starts 90 decibels. Here is a chart that shows how many decibels many devices can produce.

Oh God, Yakubu. That's going into a few "Funny Misses in Soccer" videos in the years following. Not so funny for Nigeria fans, though.

Edit: And he redeemed himself with the penalty.

Argentina won. Greece out of world cup, second european team out, I'm so happy :)
Also, South Korea did a good job, I didn't expected them to pass the group stage.

Argentina's not gonna get too far in this world cup. Many people forget their terrible qualifying campaign in which they were owned by lesser South American teams. If everything goes as it should, they'll probably be ousted by Germany in the quarterfinal...

Argentina /should/ take care of Mexico in the Round of 16, but who knows... :/

Anyways, I'm just looking forward to the U.S./Algeria and England/Slovenia matches tomorrow.

I HOPE England finishes second in the group. :) I strongly dislike them. :P

I must say, I had quite a laugh when checking today's front pages.

Go Slovenia! A tie might be enough if the US don't fail.

I want England to win and qualify (and take the top spot) and then, USA-Algeria should be a draw so both are knocked out and England and Slovenia qualify. In Group D, I want Germany to lose against Ghana so Slovenia take on Ghana and Serbia beat Australia so its Serbia vs England. If Mexico lose to Argentina, and England beat Serbia in the next round, it'll be an epic clash: England vs Argentina.

That's very nice. English people are always so mean to the French ;__;

But it's funny how most people think England is going to win the World Cup. I hope they like deception! xD

GO SLOVENIA!!!

England team announced, no major surprises really. I have reservations about Defoe and Rooney playing up front together but changes needed to be made and Capello has made them. Whether or not the changes made will pay off remains to be seen.

I still can't see it being comfortable for us. I'd like it to be, and of course i'd love us to win by a decent margin but I really just can't see it happening. If we are going to win it'll be by a single goal imo. Slovenia aren't pushovers, they're not top of the group for nothing. I really wouldn't be too surprised to see us drop points against them.

 

[Fire Wolf]

Defoe puts England ahead, it's England 1-0 Slovenia! Milner crosses the ball in and Defoe taps it in the net to give England the lead. Yay, I think now we can qualify.

 

[wolfeydawg]

Argentina gonna win ain't nothing to it! biggest challenge is Brasil!

 

[Fire Wolf]

It's half time in both matches, Slovenia 0-1 England, and it's Algeria 0-0 USA.

 

[Shanghai Alice]

Haha, Algeria? Win?

U.S.A. all the way. I don't know about winning the cup, but we're not going to lose to a team that hasn't even scored a goal yet.

EDIT: Now if only the refs would stop trying to sink us...

 

[Fire Wolf]

Rooney hit the post some time ago, and had another close call. Why can't he just score?

Slovenia had a good chance to equalise, but they fortunately waste it.

Algeria-USA is still 0-0, I hope it goes this way so Slovenia and England qualify.

 

[Drake(Elite Four)]

Who is watching Usa vs Algeria. I am its still 0-0 come on USA

 

[Fire Wolf]

England win 1-0 and are through!
Sadly though, USA have got the lead through a Donovan goal. I just change my channel from England-Slovenia to USA-Algeria and every American player/official have gone mad and are on top of each other :\

Edit: Yahia of Algeria gets sent off in a disastrous end of the World Cup of Algeria. USA are now through, winning 1-0. Two hours ago, Slovenia were on top of the group, and now, they are suddenly out of the world cup.. :\ :(

Germany, please don't top the group now, please, don't win today.

 

[jjeangi]

That was crazyyyyyyyyyyyy. Oh my god, I don't think I've ever been happier about the outcome of a world cup match.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Epic game! I thought the USA goal would never come. I'm still going crazy over it! :shocked:
