GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!

oops! lol

LOL Robert Green with a blunder.

DAMN IT ALTIDORE.. that's 2 you should have had..

That was a letdown.

finishes 1-1

I'll take the points, what a shit goal too, England makes change next game IMO.

Argentina played well, Nigeria is a solid team themselves, thought it'd be a bit higher scoring though. In the overall scheme of things not sure I like Argentina in the tourney though.

Made a mistake and thought it was N. Korea playing Greece, would have picked South otherwise, dumb mistake Park is a solid player.

It's 1-0at the moment for Argentina, Heinze scored a good header.

LOL at you guys thinking USA will draw with England

Thought it was a pretty predictable score

Only reason you drew was because of Green's blunder.

Correctly picked scores:

LA - 2
Bobbit - 2
Rest -0

I'll post tomorrows games late or someone else can

They would have tied it up regardless

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

I hope we finish tops in the group by diff (because both us and the Brits should win the other 2) and get a favorable draw next rd

I correctly called this game and the South Africa game. I will start posting scores here now.

America are an underrated side but they got lucky tonight. I was however impressed by that bearded center back, Tim Howard was solid as usual.

I don't know why Green is being picked ahead of James, David James is the best keeper in England by a mile. Emile Heskey was alot better than I expected, Capello's gamble has paid off.

Oguchi Onyewu, not a fan but he played pretty well

Heskey holds the ball up well, he's a nice compliment to Rooney

A lucky point for USA
I wouldn't want to be that keeper, imagine how he feels! no sleep for him tonight

on to tomorrows games

Algeria o Slovenia 2
Serbia 1 Ghana 0
Germany 2 Australia 0

Ooo Germany vs Australia should be interesting.

Thanks Killer, I would have gotten real drunk in a while and forgetten

Algeria 0 Slovenia 1
Serbia 1 Ghana 0
Germany 1 Australia 1

I caught the last 30 minutes of the Ghana/Serbia game. It was a pretty good game. It was cool to see a historic game where the first african team wins and it happened in their home continent.

Germany owned Australia, thought it'd be a close game, guess not.

Scores picked:

LA - 3
Bobbit -2
Rest - 0

Monday's games later tonight

I can't believe you guys thought Australia had even a chance, they are leagues below the European elites...

They're solid, and have played pretty well expect for a meaningless match against the US just before the Cup. Germany has been injury plagued and I figured it'd be a competitive game at least.

It kills me when I see Podolski and Khlose kill it for Germany when they're polish, they made the right choice but what could have been...

Netherlands 2 vs. Denmark 0
Japan 0 vs. Cameroon 0
Italy 1 vs. Paraguay 0

Germany looked solid tonight, and too think Klose and Podolski didn't even have that great a season at Munich. For the past three world cups Germany have looked like world beaters, they always seem to have a world class squad and raise their game.

Although Cahill's challenged wasn't great I felt the red card was harsh, I hope he's not banned for two games.
