<p>I'll get over it and hold out hope that England loses very badly soon.</p>
<p>They cannot play like this against Sweden and hang on that is certain. T&T got tuckered out.....shame. England is in for a whooping if they don't step it up. Gotta say that USA v Italy tomorrow is gonne be one to watch.</p>
<p>Oh of course. They've been playing terribly. They only beat Paraguay through a goal that wasn't even scored by them. If they get through this round they'll definitely be knocked out in the next. </p>
<p>I agree. Hopefully US v. Italy isn't as bad as US v. Czech.</p>

<p>Give credit to beckham; the cross was perfect. a flagpole could've scored that goal.</p>
<p>boy did Lampard suck this game, and I think it's no surprise anymore that Owen's no good.</p>
<p>England won... :|</p>
<p>Now..Sweden vs. Paraguay, I'm hoping Sweden wins.</p>
<p>France looked very weak against Switz and Henry and Zidane, Trezeuguet did not show up.. SO would we see the same WEAK France that we did against switz when they play my Souht Korea team!! ( for us a tie is a win)</p>
<p>GO COREA</p>

<p>My heart bleeds for Paraguay! Tough loss - I wonder why this World Cup seems ridden with last minute goals!</p>
<p>you could tell that sweden was going to pull it out, so many opportunities that barely missed. I'd say the reason there have been so many last minute goals is the weaker teams put up strong fights for almost all the game, but then just get broken down and tired by the end. Then the stronger team just overpowers them, possibly with fresh legs from the bench that are still good players compared to the weaker team.</p>
<p>i agree atomicfusion...</p>
<p>that is good analysis and sure describes the games I have watched. It is a duel to the point of exhaustion then.........drives into the net.</p>
<p>That last minute Swedish offense was very entertaining. </p>
<p>I will be able to catch the Argentina vs SM game tomorrow before heading to the French regents. Heres to hoping I never have to take that language ever again.</p>
<p>Wow... hazmat tell me you watched argentina's match....</p>
<p>6-0 wow Argentina won</p>
<p>Blow OUT..........gotta say that the Argentines look to be a major contender. Strong....fast and aggressive. What a match.</p>
<p>and now discussions will turn toward Italian defense and the USA. Gotta wonder what aggressive strategy the US will muster.</p>
<p>^US doesn't play today.</p>
<p>By the way... I said it during argentina's last match also. Not starting with messi and tevez is just stupid. Pekerman needs a slap. Last match they didn't even play!</p>
<p>US plays Saturday but the hype will be all day today.......to build some viewers.<br>
After that last showless performance.......gonna be hard.</p>
<p>Go ClockWorkOrange......</p>
<p>Netherlands over Ivory Coast 2-1 in a thriller!!!!:) FOr what it's worth, the Ivory Coast showed a lot of heart, charisma, and promise in their aggressive gameplay.</p>
<p>The Ivory Coast impressed many with their abilities; they are easily the best of the African teams (taking nothing away from Ghana and Togo, who both put up good fights). Had they not been in the Group of Death, they would've surely advanced. The Ivory Coast put up a worthy fight against Argentina, while Serbia completely folded like an old tent.</p>
<p>Worthy Fight is good descriptive language. They looked like aggressive warriors for sure. Great contest. Very fine showing.</p>
<p>Holding the game like an amazing beast. what is this? Ought is a win really. On top of their group. Wow is what I can say.</p>
