...I just hope today's matches are better than the previous ones. Only 7 goals, 2 wins and 3 ties, and Argentina being the only team worth watching... and they only managed to score a goal.

Well, all I can say about that match is that England should still go through, and going through is what matters.
Coming first will matter a great deal aswell so we'll have to put a few in against Algeria & Slovenia or its possible that USA can top the group on goal difference.

The games have been a bit boring so far. I've only found the South Africa game and the Nigeria game to have been any good so far.

Not too sure much better is coming over the horizon either, I suppose the Algeria game could be surprising.

On the Green issue we have an excuse and you can guess what...

...the Jabulani of course. Green Interview (Only peope in the UK can watch BBC videos sadly so dont bother otherwise :l)

I think its set out perfectly to be honest, we have three games in the group we have three goalkeepers, give them all a go.

I wouldn't mind Green coming back, I don't have a hatred for him or anything, but before the tournament began I wanted Hart to play so bring on Hart!

Green was fail. As long as they play James or Hart in the next game...
...especially as James has the No.1 shirt, so should've been playing.

Joe Cole shoulda been on, he's been playing since when David Beckham was bald...and he's awesome.
And I think England's players probably did as they always do...underestimate their opponents, mess up, then lash out (James Milner did it before the underestimation xD).

I left the room after the US goal, in hope that we'd win. Most teams who're losing win when I leave the room, for example, Liverpool 0-3 AC Milan at half time. I went to bed...wake up in the morning to find that Liverpool won 3-3. It was a tragedy, I preferred Milan.

I think Argentina will win, personally though. South Africa were flukey against Mexico, and home advantage won't work for them. Brazil are too good, they'll go out in a shocker. Germany will, no doubt, get through to the quarter/semi-finals without actually attempting to play football....and Spain will mess up coz Fernando Torres will be too busy arguing with Liverpool, Fabregas with Arsenal, they'll spot some English people and go attack them....and they'll lose to a rubbish team.

What dissapoints me is the lack of goals! I watched this dvd on England goals my brother got for his birthday, and 15 years ago they beat Luxembourg 9-0! When there was the "home internationals" Ireland lost 16-0 to Scotland!

Now we're lucky to see a darn goal.

Or I could be lieing.

Suits me, we'll be 1st in the group if they stay 0-0.

EDIT: Goal goes in as I post. That was a worse howler than Green's.

Yeah, it was a boring match. And I agree that they will both be slaughtered by England, though I'm sort of doubting now that they didn't win versus USA. Oh well, the next matches coming up are Serbia vs. Ghana then Germany vs. Australia. Go Ghana and Germany!

Personally, I don't think it was worse than Green's, but they are both SHOCKINGLY bad!
At least Green got a touch with his.

Well that'll be another match to forget, can't wait for some really competitive matches in the knockout rounds.

Cant wait for the Brazil-Korea match, some Brazillian magic will liven everything up.

I'm all for Joe Hart.
The England VS USA match was a pretty lame match, and I didn't expect to see England (Mainly Green) Screw that game up. It should have been an easy win, and bookies were even saying it would have been 3-1 to England.

There were so many English people waiting to celebrate, but to be fair, we didn't start off the world cup in a great way. Also, did anyone else think that ref was stupid? And did anyone else notice how many dives the USA team took?!

How many times did the Ref call off side, and then when the commentators did the whole thingie showing the boundaries, the players were not offside.
Tch. I don't even normally watch football but that still got me pretty angry. I hate it when things aren't a fair game.

It seems as though this World Cup is not starting very well xD But yeah I want to see Brazil and Portugal playing and spice things up a bit. Durban has the best games. There will also be Spain and Netherlands playing there. The Indians will be happy xD

Yeah, a lot of people I know said Heskey was terrible for being offside so much but he played well and wasn't offside for most of the calls.

Brazil are all set up to kick start the tournament, they're against North Korea who they should put a few past.
