England against USA isn't as much of a foregone conclusion as people are assuming. England should win but it won't be that straightforward. I can definitely see America scoring, probably from a set piece and getting a draw. All the pressure is on us.

Pretty boring game, indeed. Not that I am surprised, France hasn't beeen playing an interesting game in a while.

Anyway, here's the first (actually second) update on the forecasting contest.

While the result of the first game was unexpected for most people, Uruguay vs France has been easier to forecast, allowing 9 participants to score points. Draxraven is alone at the first place, thanks to 2 perfect guesses.

Mexico and South Africa will be the ones qualifying out the group.

Mexico are the best in their group.

It's all Marquez imo, too good.

Everyone will get trashed by Spain though.

That includes Brazil lol, they're pretty hopeless this year imo.

SK vs. Greece

2-1

Argentina vs. Nigeria

1-0 cuz argentina is just that good.

England vs. USA

9001-0 (c'mon guys, we all know that the US isn't made for Soccer)

Well done by South Africa, I was expecting Mexico to completly dominate, which they did for the first 15 minutes. Arghh yelled and jumped up when in the last 3 minutes South Africa almost go the goal but hit the post.

France and Uruguay, expected a good match. Dam 90 minutes not one goal, poor play. The moments I don't like about football.

Hopefully some awesome games soon, none of this draw bs.

Dayum watching South Korea vs Greece. 7 minutes in Korea scores, 1-0 atm. Greece are playing horribly, was expecting a lot more form them.

Looks like some of the girls from SNSD are at the game supporting. :bee:

Best game so far :p great precision by the Koreans, comfortable win 2-0.

Can you name anyone on their team without searching?
I can!

Ji-Sun Park!

I remember the 2002 squad better because it was actually good with players like Sun-Hong and Chun-Soo.

Edit: Greece suck, they've always sucked.

Rob Green can gargle on Osama Bin Laden's sweating footballs after they've been dipped in hydrochloric acid.

Apart from the early goal, USA moved the ball better overall. Altidore and Onyewu causing problems from set pieces.

Lennon just flipping score.

Gerrard and Lampard about as effective in midfield together as a towel dipped in you know what and thrown at a window.

No flipping cohesion.

Milner. Great game. Just retire.

Capello better kill them all.

Great Carragher's on. We're going to lose. Life is over.

England should've won, if we just buried our chances and Green wasn't a complete idiot.

We were still horrible.

Can anyone make that Rob Green image a bit bigger lol it's too small...

South Korea scored a 2-0 over Greece.

Also, glad to see United States made it out alive. Nice stop by their goalie (I forgot his name already).

I was watching the match... Rooney screwed up so many times.

The score could've been something like 3-1 or something if he hadn't screwed up so many goals :/
