<p>Trinidad has one sub left.............what a huge game. Is this a draw that we are watching? I wonder? Such play by Hisop. Again he deflects, again and again.</p>
<p>oh god... that goalie needs to be "taken care of"</p>
<p>Now that was ridiculous!</p>
<p>Alexandre> I know. England falls short everytime and not just in football, its the same story in cricket as well. But hey this time it might be different!</p>
<p>HISLOP was injured so in a way.....he was "taken care of" but he made a miraculous rising from the ashes. I thought it was a fast and good game?? Gotta say that there were plenty of shots at the net.</p>
<p>That was an awesome game, props to Trinidad, they played really hard</p>
<p>Now for Argentina vs Cote d'ivoire.</p>
<p>and you are rooting for whom? You love UK so should we guess?</p>
<p>Rather obvious huh ;)</p>
<p>Just noticed you're a Quaker as am I. Gotta love The Game. Forget the NBA & NFL.....baseball I love but this, this is so grand. I love it all.</p>
<p>I am not a quaker...I will actually be applying this fall haha. </p>
<p>I don't follow any sports other than cricket and football (soccer). But thats just because I moved to the U.S. recently.</p>
<p>Good luck, you will love Penn. As to squash. I play and I am surprised you don't mention it? Hey.......this crowd is a colorful one no? I am watching on Latin networks for the lousy US shows only the game......no pregame and the commercials are lame too.</p>
<p>England vs. Paraguay</p>
<p>Wow, what a passionless display by perhaps the second favourites of the WC. They didn't even score a real goal. I think they got lucky, in that Paraguay had such a terrible first 20 minutes.</p>
<p>T&T vs. Sweden</p>
<p>Wow, what a titanic upset, even though it was a tie game. For all the Italian whiners out there, even Trinidad and Tobago can play with 10 men! And Italy's way better than T&T, while Korea's worse than Sweden.</p>
<p>Argentina 2-1 C</p>
<p>What a horrible goalie.</p>
<p>ugh aweful refereeing.. there was a LOT of diving in that game.. they said before the WC that they would tighten up on diving but I guess they just didn't notice it.. </p>
<p>Ivory coast played well but they just couldnt find the back of the net :(</p>
<p>On a side note, a lot of people are probably mad at the argentine coach for not putting Messi in.. hmm</p>
<p>Refeering has been horrible in the last 2 days. I still cannot believe the offsides.
I wanted IvoryC to win :( their striking was just as bad as poland's - close but not close enough.
However, the games have been entertaining..</p>
<p>Serbia+M vs Netherlands next?</p>
<p>GO orange!</p>
<p>England vs. Paraguay - sad how England "won"
Sweden vs. T&T - Niiiice though I had a birthday dinner to attend and it unfortunately wasn't a sports bar.
Argentina vs. Ivory Coast - So close...</p>
<p>Serbia-Montenegro vs. Netherlands - I'd root for S-M because it's a neighbor, but my man is half-Dutch so there we go! Though I liked their team way back in 1998. Wonder how they're doing now. (Tho I might switch back to Eastern Europe because I want to "argue" with him.)
Mexico vs. Iran - No idea about skill so that's up in the air.
Angola vs. Portugal - Random toss-up...Portugal...</p>
<p>NoFX> More importantly their defense was giving too much space and that goal keeper was subpar for world cup level play. </p>
<p>SM vs. N should be fun.</p>
<p>When one has six shots on goal and only two against, one should have a considerable lead. The Ivorian goalie had a 0% blocking rate if the above is true, which means he stinks. The Elephants would have won had the team had an exceptional goaltender.</p>
<p>Today was the first day that I ever watched WC soccer, and I had to say that I actually liked it. I have always been brainwashed by football coaches that soccer sucks and that its a girls game, and I believed it for many years. But after watching it today, I have to say that it was a lot more exciting than baseball, I'd say about the same level as basketball. I already have the US/Czech Republic being recorded on my TiVo, looks like I found a new sport to watch.</p>
