Here’s my predictions:
Argentina vs South Korea 1 (2-1)
Greece vs Nigeria 2 (1-2)
France vs Mexico X (2-2)
Hope the teams can start producing goals, i feel the quality of play in this World Cup is poorer compared to the one in Germany. What do you think guys?
Johnny Karp

I agree with you Lye, most teams look just too cautious and afraid of not losing rather than wanting to win. Hopefully that will change in the upcoming matches. My predictions:
Argentina vs South Korea 1 (2-0)
Greece vs Nigeria 2 (0-1)
France vs Mexico 2 (1-2)

Yes I agree with Lyes and Johnny’s statement…. If only the Irish were there! No but seriously, the football has been terrible on a number of occasions. Hopefully in the second and third round of matches teams who are in danger of being knocked out will take more risks and try win the game. Some of the goalkeeping has been awful too!
My predications –
Argentina vs South Korea 1(2-1)
Greece vs Nigeria 2(o-1)
France vs Mexico 1(1-0)
Mexico please prove me wrong and hammer those cheating frenches!!

Well Nigeria has two legs and one hand out of the world cup which is dissapointing cause I thought we could at least have gotten to the second round…
anyway…that’s football…which team do I support now…

obasi and kaita wil forever remain in my memory as the players that knocked us out…

@Dami
They are not out just yet, if they beat South Korea and Argentina beats Greece then Argentina will have 9 points, Nigeria 3, South Korea 3 and Greece 3! It will all depend on the goal difference then.
dami
June 17, 2010 at 17:27
Well…our goal difference is -2 and the others have -1…also we have only scored one goal…so we will have to beat s.korea by at least 3 goals no reply…I don’t see that happening though I’ll be overjoyed if it did…

@Dami
Your calculations are not correct. If Nigeria win 1-0 and Argentina win 1-0 then the group table would be like this:
1. Argentina 9 points
2. Nigeria 3 points (-1) (2 goals for 3 against)
3. South Korea 3 points (-2) (3 goals for 5 against)
4. Greece 3 points (-2) (2 goals for and 4 against)
So I guess it’s completely possible.

Fantastic, well done Mexico. France, well, what can I say, what goes around comes around.Hint of offside in Mexico’s first goal,but hey, at least they didn’t play a bit of handball and then score.
I do not feel one bit sorry for them. C’mon on ye mexicans!!!!!
Johnny Karp

Mexico thoroughly deserved to win it but not more than France deserved to lose it. They will finally get rid of Domenech, one of the poorest managers I’ve ever seen.
Sears
June 17, 2010 at 21:54
I agree with you Johnny, He’s a very poor manager. He doesn’t seem to understand the tactical side of the game at all. He’s got a great squad to work with too.

He surely will, it’s a shame that France gave all those talents to be managed by such a worthless coach.
