June 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) We get to see Portugal and Brazil tomorrow, I think we might see some goals rather than low scoring affairs. There are gonna be alot of woman waking up tomorrow to see this one... from whom I know at least. Edited June 15, 201015 yr by SoxAce
June 15, 201015 yr Wow, New Zealand with the additional time goal. Slovakia looked like crap. I didnt think they would advance but I thought they would take care of NZL.
June 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) Not a good day to be an Aussie after that result. Ugh. lol, I was just thinking that.
June 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 09:23 AM) Christiano Ronaldo is such a little b**** Flops every time someone is even close to him.
June 15, 201015 yr The last few minutes of that game were entertaining as hell. The Ivory Coast had a few great opportunities to win it at the end.

June 15, 201015 yr Scoreless halftime game via Brazil and North Korea. Shouldn't Brazil be up by at least 2 by now?
June 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Scoreless halftime game via Brazil and North Korea. Shouldn't Brazil be up by at least 2 by now? Yes, but its hard to play when the other team's objective is not to lose. They will defend all game. Now that the first goal is in we might see more.
June 15, 201015 yr Noth goals by Brazil were spectacular. Not flashy, but brilliant. Maicon scoring from that angle is impressive and the pass to score the 2nd was spot on by Robinho.
June 16, 201015 yr At least we have a losing team that scored a goal. It was all 1-1 or 0-0 draws and shutout wins before North Korea salvaged a late consolation goal. Disappointing start to the cup.
June 16, 201015 yr First match is generally tentative. You absolutely do not want to lose and unless your playing the worst team in your group you never mind a draw. Now some teams need to win, which is going to change how the games are played.
June 16, 201015 yr Spain in some trouble here. 1-0 down to the Swiss with 20 mins left. Xabi Alonso just hit the bar with a thunderous shot.

June 16, 201015 yr Author Spain completely dominating this game too. If the Swiss hold on it would be one of the most outplayed wins in quite a while

June 16, 201015 yr Can't believe they didn't use Fabregas at all. That sort of game, he is the perfect player to use to thread a pass through, he pretty much has to put up with opposing teams doing that against Arsenal most weeks. Chile won't be easy for Spain to beat after today also, so they're in a bit of trouble right now.
June 16, 201015 yr I thought the Spanish team was probably the best in the world and they just got beat in a game they dominated... Wow

Wow I wouldn't right them off yet, they should have scored a few times today. They just need to get Torres match fit ASAP, so they can play Villa wide on the left where he belongs in that 4-5-1 Barcelona formation they use.

They had more than enough chances, just couldn't get that final touch into the net. I think it will all come down to the the matchup vs. Chile, a win there gets them in. (Assuming they get the 3 points vs. Honduras of course)
June 16, 201015 yr Even if we assume Spain does get wins the next two games, if Switzerland gets a draw and a win that would put Spain second, meaning they probably draw Brazil in the knockout stage.
June 16, 201015 yr And that's probably the end for South Africa, not like I didn't see it coming but I was hoping they'd somehow advance
