Hahahah the USA vs ENG game was just awesome.
First of all, South Korea look really good. Park Ji Sung who plays for Manchester United has clearly gotten very good. South Korea should give Argentina a tough time in their next game.
Argentina started well against Nigeria, but the big issue is their midfielder, Veron, is looking in terrible form. The guy is 36, and had an embarrassing game. He replaced Riquelme, one of the best playmakers (attacking midfielders like Veron, who set up forwards like Messi) around, but Veron is past it. Riquelme was dropped because Maradona who is coach had a massive fight with him.
Overall Argentina were OK, but their defense needs to tighten up. A better team would have scored against them. Their striker Higuain (plays for the Italian club Real Madrid) needs to shape up as well. Messi set him up twice and he just missed easy chances.
Messi himself was great, but just had trouble finishing.
Overall Argentina were a bit disappointing. They play much better than this, and the match was a bit dull.
Regarding the horns, I don't mind them... used to them I guess, but they are annoying a lot of people. France is blaming them for their poor showing. Their coach and captain had trouble communicating.
USA vs Eng...
When the Argentina match started, four of my cousins and my two siblings came by as well, so that was cool.
We all watched the USA vs Eng match, with half of us with Eng (English premier league fans), with the other half supporting USA, the underdogs. So yea, the match was probably the best of the world cup so far. The ball was end to end all night, with both teams playing exciting football.
Donovan is a great midfielder, and he was pretty good. The USA defense was mostly excellent, though they had a serious lapse of concentration early on, when Gerrard got through.
I have no idea why Heskey was playing for England. Few could believe it when he was picked... he missed a lot of chances.
Robert Green has made a ton of mistakes in the English Premier League, and even made a big one three years ago.
The problem for England is that their reserve keepers are actually worse.
It was just shocking when he let one in.
Great match overall.
Germany play Australia in 15 minutes. I'd expect it to go 1-0 in favor of Germany. Germany unfortunately lost a few key players to injury, so I am not expecting the match to be very exciting.
Whats with the overall plus and negative points?
Wha?
