I can understand.. btw, if we sign Muslera (who was again great tonight) will you be MizMuslera?

I really didn't think France were bad at all. But clearly the players aren't united, they either play for themselves or don't want to pass to others

Henry imo should have started and been captain, fine Benzema was left back but at least start Henry not bench him for someone as mediocre as Govuo!!

Diaby was great, Gourcuff was meh, he kept trying to shoot from everywhere, Anelka was selfish, Evra was reckless, Gallas and Abidal were mostly solid, Ribery was ok, his build up and runs were great but his final ball was always lacking

well obviously he's going to protest when there's a handball... It's the referee's fault that he didn't see the one Henry made against Ireland...

Agreed, it's nice to finally see a bishop who doesn't have something stuck up his you know what.

I agree , they didnt play United and I thought Uruguay played good and Lloris was good(y)

De Rossi vs Messina springs to mind...

haha the refree was swedish and it was a interview about him and he's reason was the same, he didn't see.

If you're playing for your country and you know you're about to make an assist that will send your country to the WC do you stop and tell the ref that you touched the ball with your hand? You would be lieing if you told me that you would do that.

Like I said, it's the ref's problem for not seeing it to begin with.

Well the last thing I would do was to celebrate as if it was a completely legal goal, the disrespect in that act was astonishing.

Agreed with that, but at that moment you really can't say what you'd do if you're in that position. I think it took b@lls to apologize when anyone else probably wouldn't have bothered. Did you see Maradono for example saying sorry after he scored the hand goal? It's only natural to celebrate when it's such an important goal that you can't see beyond it

Seriously, It happened to me before and it was outside the penalty area and I did say anything before the refree asked me but I don't think anybody would say anything at all, its the refree's fault for not being there. So I agree on that.

Lloris first World Cup game? wow he was good

Exactly

Well he did have that one blunder were he misjudged the bounce of the ball and it went over him...

aha, okay that explains a lots

Domenech is such a useless moron. Playing Gouvu who isn't even a starter at Lyon.

Gouvn went out after 70 minut o playing right, didn't even notice him

Perhaps I am a naughty fish but I hope Govou continues to play each game.

Domenech is such an *** ! Seriously, how can you play a low tempo in an opener and for over 70 minutes !!

He and Maradona don't have a brain between them. Some of their reasons for taking/excluding players are embarassing.

No, zeddie, I won't become MizMuslera. My SN is not 100% related to Dida, anyway.

Why is a loon like Domenech still coaching France, anyway?

Between the two matches, I was really surprised by South Africa's goal keeper Khune. I think we should def look at him, he's high quality.



Info:


Itumeleng Khune

Age: 22

Height: 1.81 M

Club: Kaizer chiefs

Value: 1m



Obviously his value will go up, but he is def one we should look at for Dida's long term replacements.

The million dollar question.

Thank you, I say that almost everyday !

SA's goalkeeper was quality TODAY. Let's see what he can do the rest of the group before we start wanting to buy him.

Yeah, let's see him perform against Forlan and Anelka.

He was quality tho!

I dunno about that. He got VERY lucky with the disallowed goal. He came for the ball and got nowhere near it, leaving Vela with a tap in.

Aww!

Maybe because if Domenech wins one more game, he will be France NT's most successful coach ever. but that's a big if given that France could go out without having won a single game. Mexico and SA are no walkovers for this France.

South Korea 2-0 Greece.

Sorry dst, but your teams defending is pretty embarassing.

So, South Korea beat Greece rather easily today 2-0. No offense to dst, Greece looked badly off form and some of the lineup choices surprised me -- where were Kyrgiakos and Sokratis?

Next up is Argentina-Nigeria. On paper the argies have a good side but....

17,000 empty seats for that last game. Yeah, this is why Africa shouldn't be hosting a World Cup. That's really unacceptable.

Wow, that IS a lot.

Nigeria's goalkeeper has saved this team for the past 20mins

However I did hear this is the only match they couldn't sell out. Not sure.

Agreed, yet I doubt this tie will end 1-0, it has at least 2 more goals in it

Wow, just looking at Argentina's line-up, I feel sorry for them. So many good players left out.

I can only facepalm at Higuain's misses while Milito sits on the bench.

Meh, they're going through the argument of 'why messi is worse for the nt than barca'. Has nobody realized that the argies don't have an equivalent to a Xavi or Iniesta behind Messi?

Well, if it weren't for some incredible goalkeeping, Messi would have had about 5 today.

Apparently in an interview, Maradona said he only needs to pick 9 players.. Mascherano and Gutierrez are automatics. Seems odd to pick to very average footballers automatically and then leave some very good players out.

Argentina had 6 chances and Higuain had the best so if he keep missing.. Milito is coming in but I don't think that just luck, the goalkeeper is good! Lagerbäck is the old Swedish coach, he left when Sweden lost agianst Denmark but he coaching Nigeria good even if Maradona has Samuel Milito Messi Higuain etc cuz Argentina and Spain has the top players and still Argentina hasn't impressed me.
Its cool for me if Higuian keep missing
3 favorite goalkeeper in this WC is Khune or called lion in SA and Lloris, Uruguays was pretty good

They do the dirty work without complaint. Kinda like Ambro.

Did he bring Martin Palermo because he saved Argentina agianst Parugauy?
That man is full of sh*t! He said in a interview u can suck my balls then suck it agian..
WTF!?

Milito.. Hope does worst the Hiugain did

Wow! For a girl..you swear pretty good! Well done woman!!

well thanks.. my mom tried to wash my mouth with soap but it failed but don't be suprised, there's more

Save it for kurt. I'll call you for help, when he pisses me off.

Oh look, there's a Swedish bird on the boards and Jack can't stop replying to her.

Argentina are very average besides Messi looking at this performance. Any half decent side will pick them apart, their defense is really poor.

Agree with you on Argentina.

Sod off on the other comment.

hahah, okay Im there.
I agree on that Argentina thing too and Im going to skip the other comment..

Pub time. COME ON YOU LIONS!

the yanks are coming!

bring it kitties

USA-England..
hahaha kitties, good one but England is so going to win !

The official Milan page is stating that Cossu will leave, since Pirlo is getting back faster. Why is it either or ? just drop gattuso and keep Cossu
