WORLD CUP 2010 (TV Schedules and brackets also)

SPOILER!


Argentina 2, Greece 0--Final.

The Albiceleste go through on top of Group B having gotten the full nine points. Meanwhile, South Korea is clinging to a 2-2 draw with Nigeria that, if it holds, would put the Asians through.
 
SPOILER!


South Korea 2, Nigeria 2--Final.

And that's a wrap for Group B.

Meanwhile, CONMEBOL has racked up a sparking 10-0-2 mark so far this tournament. Unbelievable.
 
Very nice result for South Korea, unlike Greece the Koreans who knew they probably just needed a draw didnt play for one but attacked and played offensive futbol. Good for them. South Korea give Asia a round of 16 team.
 
Even though Messi hasn't scored, he has set up several of the Argentina goals.

Now time for the US game tomorrow. LET'S GO YANKS!

FWHORN - sorry it didn't work. I thought since its not as well known it might work for ya
 
Posted this in the U.S.-Algeria match thread, but it deserves inclusion here, as well.

Group C is a wrap. Here are the final standings:

Team ---------------- W/L/T ----- GS -- GA -- GD ---- PTS
United States ________ 1 0 2 ______ 4 ___ 3 ___ +1 _____ 5
England _____________ 1 0 2 ______ 2 ___ 1 ___ +1 _____ 5
Slovenia _____________ 1 1 1 ______ 3 ___ 3 ____ 0 _____ 4
Algeria ______________ 0 2 1 ______ 0 ___ 2 ___ -2 _____ 1

And there you have it--the United States and England finish tied for tops in Group C but our Yanks qualify as group-winners on the strength of four goals scored to England's two.

This marks the first time the U.S. has finished unbeaten in World Cup group play and emerged as group champion since 1930, the very first Cup. Still, our Yanks advanced by the skin of their teeth and couldn't have left it any later than Donovan's game-winning goal in the first minute of stoppage time.
 
Germany's all-black uniform is awesome. I just wish the white stripes on the shorts matched the gold on the jersey.
 
Pretty so-so soccer from both of these matches so far. One would've expected more.

And thanks, l00p. It's nice to be able to talk and watch games with folks who also appreciate the sport and this tournament. Neither occur often enough to take for granted ...
 
Seems like as these afternoon games go on a single goal in either one will put incredible pressure on all four teams and hopefully that opens up the matches. Right now everyone just seems like they are waiting instead of attacking.
 
SPOILER

Germany with fantastic strike to take 1 nil lead

As things stand now Germany and Ghana would both advance. Ghana over Serbia on goals scored.
 
If only Ghana could get a couple of miracle goals, we could very well be seeing Australia in the first knockout match. Don't think the Germans are going to allow it, though.
 
If it stays as currently situated the US will have a chance at revenge for the phantom PK call of '06 that kept us from having a shot at the round of 16.
 
Woooohooo, the Socceroo's with another which means if they go once more in the back of the net they advance. FUN times.
 
SPOILER!


Australia 2, Serbia 0--73rd minute.

A long-range effort from Brett Holman beats the keeper to far post and the Socceroos look sure to claim a victory today!
 
With the Serbians all but out of the picture, expect Ghana to do very little attacking in an effort to protect its goal differential advantage over the Socceroos.
 
You make sense. The announcers said it was one more needed to tie and go ahead for some reason but they could have gotten different info and been distracted calling their own match.
 
SPOILER!


Australia 2, Serbia 1--82nd minute.

Terrible goalkeeping error allows Serbia to pull one back. Schwarzer spills a routine ball direclty to Marko Pantelic, who passes GO! and collects $200 as he boots the ball into the back of the net.
 
Ghana are still through on these results but it is getting tight. One more Serbia goal and the Serbs advance on goals scored.
