World Cup predictions

2-1 Greece. Goalkeeping howler after a couple of excellent saves. Looks like Greece have been well on top since the rather soft red for Nigeria.

Copmetition seems to have been getting a lot better in the last day or two. Maybe that's what happens when you're only half-watching a stream!

2-1 Greece. Now that ball DID move. The keeper followed its path then all of a sudden was too far left of its path. ITV compared it to Robert Green saying the Jubilani ball had struck again. The two aren't even remotely comparable - one was about 20mph harder than the other.

Argentina and South Korea to escape this group. The Argies will do the Greeks and the Koreans will do enough against Nigeria.

Pity about the goalie as he was having another good game upto that point then it went all pear sheaped

I think they add South Africa's own personality to the tournament, just as the paper confetti did in Argentina in '78.

yeah, and its CRAP!!!

When two teams finish on the same no. of points, how are they differentiated?

GD, followed by goals scored, followed by result between the two?

What's the order?

There was one angle that, in my mind, absolved him from blame. He set himself up and got in position correctly - then next thing he had to adjust. Only one TV angle shows the ball changing direction. Not much but enough to upset a keeper planted in position.

A team in green against France!!
As I was typing that Mexico scored!!!

Out you go France!!

payback. it's a bitch

**pineapple stu** · 17/06/2010, 7:56 PM

Tee hee. It's all the sweeter that he was offside too.

Lump on the draw between Uruguay and Mexico if this stays the same.

Great peno from the 52-year-old.

To answer osarusan, it's head to head per George Hamilton, so France can't catch Mexico and are 5 goals behind Uruguay.

Winners, knoecked out round 1 witrhout scoring, runners-up, knocked out round 1 without scoring?
