The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
amok:
Yeah I called the formation wrong, they did essentially play 4-5-1 with Villa pushed right up the left flank and welp, it seemed to work out quite well for him..
The Chile game will hopefully be a massacre, 4-2 ESP I reckon.
Inlander:
So Group A's going nuts tonight. Everybody was talking about Mexico and Uruguay playing for a draw to ensure they both go through, but at half-time they're both going balls-out for a win. Mexico had the better of the first half, probably, but Uruguay got the goal and at half-time it's 1-0. Meanwhile . . . in the other game South Africa are leading France 2-0! France, of course, are basically a bunch of empty shells after everything that's been going on in this camp, but if South Africa keep hammering them and Uruguay beat Mexico then South Africa and Uruguay will be going through to the second round and Mexico will miss out. (France will miss out too but who cares about them, they're shit and they deserve to walk home.) Mexico have been my favourite team of the tournament so far, partly because they've been great to watch and party for sentimental reasons, but it'd be great for South Africa to go through, too - after all, they're the host and they were just as good as Mexico in the opening game. Damn you, World Cup! Don't make me choose between the two of them!
Inlander:
Well, France scored a goal to make it 2-1, which means Uruguay and Mexico go through to the next round. Mexico vs. Argentina in the next round should be a cracker, though frankly I don't give Mexico much of a chance.
Darke:
Such a shame that South Africa didn't manage to write that fantastic story that the first half promised, but hey at least France came bottom of a seriously weak group. And of course to top off a truly pathetic campagin, Domenech refused to shake hands with the South Africa manager. Au revoir, you prick.

Sleeper pick for best game of the second round: Uruguay v South Korea.
