WORLD CUP 2010 (TV Schedules and brackets also)

Uruguay looks as comfortable and composed at allowing another team possession as any team I've seen. El Tri has seen a lot of the ball this match, but it hasn't had many quality chances.
 
SPOILER!


Mexico loses and South Africa wins ... but not by enough. Uruguay tops Group A and Mexico and the hosts tie for second but the Mexicans advance on goal differential.
 
RSA couldn't capitalize on about 3 or 4 perfect chances in the second half. They are going to agonize over those misses.
 
What is it the French coach did to incite such rebellion, if it is his fault as some of you seem to think? Sounds like a bunch of spoiled prima donna players to me.
It is great comedy.
 
Domenech refuses to shake hands with the South African coach. Players, coaches, staff, administration... seems like the same class all the way.
 
RSA could have easily beat France by more. They have several good chances that they couldn't capitalize on. I look forward to Henry playing in the MLS though. I also like Ribery and wish that I was able to watch more Bayern Munich games here.

Now watching Argentina and Greece. I love watching Messi play
 
SPOILER

Nigeria 1-0 over S. Korea

Kalu Uche (NGA) shoots right footed, and scores! Assisted by Chidi Odiah

As results stand now Argentina and Greece would advance but that presumes Greece continue to hold off Argentines.
 
SPOILER

S. Korea tie match at 1.

Lee Jung-Soo (KOR) shoots right footed, and scores! Assisted by Ki Sung-Yueng

As things stand now S. Korea would advance along with Argentines.
 
What a finish to the half. Gotta think that, at this rate, the Argentines will crack that Greek backline sooner or later. The Albiceleste have seen a whopping 78 percent of the ball and taken nine shots, four on goal.

The Greeks haven't even been credited with a shot yet.
 
Greece used up a lifetimes worth of luck and magic winning the Euro 2004 Championship in Portugal. Barring a defensive collapse by Argentina how the heck do the Greeks get on the board? Their only hope is Nigeria get another goal while they hold on for a scoreless draw.
 
Korean goal was free kick according to Yahoo live.

Free kick goal taken right footed by Park Chu-Young (KOR)

S. Korea all but assurred of going through now with Argentina winning group.
 
This Nigeria - Korea game is pretty entertaining.

Nigeria scores on a penalty kick. 2-2

Nigeria also missed an open net centering pass a few minutes ago. This game is still wide open.

Also the refereeing is more of my flavor. Plenty of fouls called although maybe a few too many yellows.
 
SPOILER

Nigeria get penalty kick after foul in box and tie match 2-2.

Korea still advance at this point but the tug on their collar just got a little tighter. Meanwhile Greece continues to play for 0-0 draw and hope that Nigeria tack on another score.
 
Dont feel bad Gem we are getting the Argentina-Greece snoozer with nary a hint of updates on the other match. The announcers know that we are getting it tape delayed right after this match and are announcing as if it is only match with no updates on other match so we have only yahoo live to know what is happening not even highlights from Korea-Nigeria.
 
SPOILER!


Argentina 1, Greece 0--77th minute.

Finally! DiMichelis heads the ball on target only to have it turned away, but he immediately pounces on the rebound and boots it home to put the Albiceleste on top.
 
Usually I dont cheer for Argentina but I cant stand a team that basically decides to pack it in and play for a 0-0 draw when there isnt even a guarantee that would advance them. Cynical strategy and I am glad it isnt going to work.
 
South Korea seems camped out in front of a sloppy Nigeria defense but can't seem to string together the right sequence for a goal. Nigeria very aggressive on the attack when they grab a steal.

Another Nigeria one-on-one with the goalie and the shot goes wide... If Nigeria fails to advance they can blame missing some easy opportunities.
 
Through three matches (almost), Messi hasn't scored a goal. yet I think he's been one of the tournament's top performers.

How weird is that?
 
SPOILER!


Argentina 2, Greece 0--89th minute.

Messi again goes for goal but his shot is turned aside ... right to the oncoming feet of 36-year-old Martin Palermo, who had never scored a World Cup goal and hadn't played for the Albiceleste in 10 years.
 
Thanks KJ just tried it for end of Nigeria-Korea and sadly the same this service is unavailable in your area message came up.
