I agree with you, but I still think it's annoying. :clutchesears:

Spain 0 :Switzerland 1
What is happening?
The US draw with England...Italy draw with Paraguay...the N.Koreans manage to get a goal against the most successful national football team in the world! I think there will be quite a few surprises yet to come, however.

Still angry over the England vs. USA game though

The first round is always full of caution, from round 2 on it will all get better..... points must be won for survival! The Swiss kicking Spain was surprising... but there are no small teams anymore!

The swiss result has just thrown the competition into a complete unknown. Everyone had Brazil and spain meeting in the finals. That is now a lot less likely to happen from what I understand and more likely to take place in the next round. could open up the door for a shock final.

^Haha...I don't think I'd be too surprised if N.Korea got into the semi-finals. Their game against Brazil was a real eye opener.

I think it'll be an Argentina vs. Germany final.

I heard that because so many national teams have experienced European coaches (Nigeria have Lagerback, Ivory coast have Eriksson etc.) it's leveled the playing field between most of these nations. Also, lots of the players now play for clubs in top English, German, Italian and Spanish leagues, so they're all very well trained.

You wont be seeing these types of upsets the whole cup. Although Spain lost, they played a GREAT game and had many many many scoring chances...they just couldnt get it done and like I heard, if you dont score on your scoring chances the other team will score on theirs. Just wasnt Spain's day. Although Argentina in the World Cup Final? I dont see that. I have Brazil and Germany for the finals in my bracket. I dont find that North Korea goal suprising or exciting at all. The game was practically over, big deal. ;)

The way that North Korea play they'll get two draws and they can't go into the next round with two points.

Bafana Bafana are the first team to practically be eliminated. 1 pt after two game is generally not enough.

Today is going to be interesting

Argentina and South Korea can both be sure of the next round if they win this game. All bets are on the Argentinians but korean discipline might ruin things. Greece and Nigeria must win for a last chance.... a draw isn

Argentina defiantly dominated, 4-1.

Nigeria scores early 1-0.

Im thinking of taking a draw in the Mexico game..

I thought Ji Jun Nams (did I get it right?) goal for North Korea was pretty good...especially if you think that the N.Korean team had such a small budget they were unable to hire a football pitch to train on haha.

I'm still pretty sure it'll be an Argentina vs. Germany final. I'd like to see England in the finals...but it is quite unlikely, although I think we'll get better as things start hotting up. I don't get how people seem to think Gareth Barry is going to make a real difference though?

I think tonights match will be France 2: Mexico 0.

To be honest I think the best team in the World Cup right now is Germany so with you saying that you think Germany will be in the final is a good choice, although they arent favored, odds dont really matter at all. They're the only team that dominated their first game and they played wonderful and it wasnt against a crappy Korean team or a no name it was Australia and they said Germany might have gotten upset that game because the Aussies have alot of talent but they're players are just old.

You know Germany's the youngest team in the World Cup right now, so they have lots of energy and speed.
