[MD 14] FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 -SVK vs. ITA // PAR vs. NZL // DEN vs. JPN // CMR vs. NED

[zand]

Mathematically in the 2nd round so far:
South America 4 teams (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay)
Europe 3 teams (Germany, England, Slovakia)
CONCACAF 2 teams (USA, Mexico)
Africa 1 team (Ghana)
Asia 1 team (South Korea)

Better add Holland, Portugal and Japan too. Denmark needs 3 goals and Ivory coast needs 8 or 9 goals.

This world cup may have shown that African teams do well only because most WCs are held during the summer.
When that advantage is gone they are not that different from other 3rd world countries.

Italy were quit sloppy in the first half. Vittek took his goals nicely and was sharp. Slovakia pressed the ball, and in Skrtel, their defence stood firm. Italy's second goal was brilliant, and contender for goal of tournament, but they were well short of their best.

Japan's third goal was all about skill and unselfishness. Loved the pull-back for an easy finish. Free-kicks weren't bad either. Denmark huffed and puffed, but they were tactically beaten by a well-spirited and drilled Japan team.

Italy thought the first half was still warm up wtf was that
it had nothing to do with their old squad it was the beginning of the game

they are horrible im sure TM could play very well against them

South America 4 teams (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay)
Europe 4 teams (Germany, England, Slovakia, Holland)
CONCACAF 2 teams (USA, Mexico)
Asia 2 teams (South Korea, Japan)
Africa 1 team (Ghana)

You can add Chile for South America and Portugal for Europe.
European performance (except Netherland) has been so far poor. Spain can still be out of the competition soon.

Martin Keown: "Honda is playing like a Rolls-Royce"

lol! Martin keown is an interesting co-commentator. Obviously, as a player, he knows the game. Mark Bright and Mark Lawrenson are defintely the best.. however Mick Mccarthy is bloody awful! He's so boring, and the way he took the piss out of Iran 4 years ago, I would never respect him.. and also, the way he was with Roy Keane back in the days.. ergh just hate him!
