I did say my opinion and I didn't need to be called rude insults like "utter retard"

I'm not going to argue over this.

You cant argue over it, you got owned, like 5 times.....FIVE! lol

Some opinions are better kept to yourself dude.

Yeah true. Can we leave it at that lol?

All I know is Korea just got completely raped by Portugal ahahah!

[maca]

For **** sake, can we keep the childish arguments away from here? And preferably over at Boostcruising where it belongs?

S. Korea got lubelessly raped by Portugal, needless to say it was expected?

I got cranky when the so called "world champions" couldn't even beat a team like New Zealand, and I lol'd when my mum unintentionally called the NZ team a bunch of monkeys not realising that it's a racist term

:O

I presumed it was South Korea. Didn't think North Korea had their priorities so straight yet...

nah, south korea, as a pop culture/ following, has a scene very similar to japan, and their players would probably be better as there'd be a few in the euro leagues as well.

did you see the guy in the north korea team crying during their national anthem? it's because kim jong il had ordered their strikers' execution if they lost.

I can't tell if you're joking or being serious. But it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

I cant tell the difference between the two, to be honest. I beleive it was N.Korea that beat Greece right? that for me was very unexpected.

I also thought Cote Diviore (ivory coast) would have done a bit better against Brazil, perhaps a draw or loss by only one goal, however 3:1

[static1800]

Uruguay - Mexico - Argentina - South Korea are through to the round of 16.

France are gone!

Just came across this thread now

After a slightly disappointing display from some of the 1st round of group matches, I must say the 2nd & 3rd round of group matches have really started to light up the tournament.

As a Greek-Australian, I have just got home from watching the Greece v Argentina game at the local Greek club. Great defensive performance for 76 minutes to keep out one of the big favourites in Argentina. All in all, the most successful World Cup for Greece to date having scored their first goal in a World Cup Finals & also winning their first game.

Incorrect. It was South Korea (a.k.a. Republic of Korea).

What a terrible tournament for France. Riddled with controversy ever since the Henry handball against Ireland in qualifying, and progressively getting worse with every game. Good thing for them Domenech was due to leave anyway and new coach Laurent Blanc can steer them back in the right direction.

Yep correct, I'm greek also and I knew that we had a small chance but I wasn't really holding my breath. Greece's last two games were 100% better than there first and had a massive improvement. Argentina were just way to strong against the Greeks, Messi ran rings around them. I can honestly say that Argentina look to be the favourites at the moment and have been the only country that looks decent when they get on the pitch!

Other than that all the other teams really can really go in any direction!!!

Can't beleive Tim Cahill didnt get a red card for that hand ball in this mornings match. IMO Serbia should have won that much however they didnt take enough risks.

I was in the city from 12 to 7am just to watch the game, and yet Serbia looses, ahaha what a waste of time.

[diop]

I thought Australia thoroughly deserved their win! Came out fighting especially in the 2nd half and took their chances. Pity the other result didn't go our way.

And what a match between Slovakia & Italy tonight! Well done to Slovakia for taking the game to the Italians and coming away with a win. Great stuff.
