Wow. Those South Koreans know when to pounce. That's 2 goals in the same fashion.

maybe, but argentina has outplayed them like crazy so far. we'll see what changes at half time but I see Arg. putting at least 1 more in the back of the net if they come out in this second half with the same mentality they did in the first. They had 2-3 other very legitimate goal scoring chances with 2 that went just wide/high and the good save by the Korean keeper.

Spain outplayed Switzerland yesterday and look how that turned out

[Edited on June 17, 2010 at 8:25 AM. Reason : not saying it will happen, but it is certainly within reason that it could]

6/17/2010 8:24:44 AM

yea it is within reason and Argentina's weak spot is definitely their defense but I think Argentina have this 3-1 if they come out and play the same way they did in the first half with a little smarter defense.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 2-2 or 3-2 (in favor of either team) final score if Korea comes out strong.

cant understand why he left-footed it instead of right foot to far post

6/17/2010 8:46:40 AM

that slow-mo was priceless

6/17/2010 8:46:58 AM

terrible call, hope they don't score off of it

6/17/2010 8:52:57 AM

what's with all the mullets on the Argentinian side?

6/17/2010 8:57:12 AM

They're Argentinian.

6/17/2010 9:00:16 AM

He must have activator in it or something, because it always looks wet as well

6/17/2010 9:04:50 AM

I love how Maradona celebrates every goal like its the finals

6/17/2010 9:05:54 AM

daaaaaamn


death knell for the Koreans


I bet they're really mad now.

6/17/2010 9:07:07 AM

Hats off to Gonzalo.

6/17/2010 9:08:25 AM

hell yeah, now the world cup is getting entertaining! fun game to watch

6/17/2010 9:08:44 AM

fantastic goal

6/17/2010 9:08:46 AM

haha 4-1

wow, korea's D just stopped playing well and all those opportunities are going in.

korea there got caught complaining on the header foul and argentina made them pay with the quick strike

6/17/2010 9:09:10 AM

some good goals this game (even if Korea's D is sucking it up, at least the goals have been prettier than a lot of the first round of games heh). Argentina really pouring it on like they showed they had the potential to do in the first half. I love it

The announcer made a good point.

Kudos to the Koreans for not diving, getting in the ref's face, or acting out to try and sway the call. That's admirable.

6/17/2010 9:16:30 AM

i'm going to take that under advisement

and continue calling him pepita

6/17/2010 9:17:52 AM

s korea is getting as sloppy as your sister after a football team party train

it was a good game though, good to watch that is, unless you're a s korea fan...

but it's extra funny when he's hugging players who are all at least 4" taller than him

time for a nap

a) because i don't care about greece/nigeria

b) because my sleep deprivation is becoming evident. i saw that last bumper and thought where did they find those zebras? oh, right.

6/17/2010 9:34:20 AM

yea, I have a feeling Nigeria v Greece will be a snoozer compared to the last few games. I'll still have it on but not paying a lot of attention probably. My guess is Nigeria 1 - Greece 0.

Everyone has that feeling anytime Greece takes the pitch.

^ the only thing I can understand is "gol' "golazo" "vuvuzela" and the excitement in the voice as it rises and an attack is coming together. That's all I need.

6/17/2010 10:01:19 AM

I'm not expecting much from this match either. watch this end up being one of the better matches of the tourney now

6/17/2010 10:06:06 AM

nga's scored a goal

6/17/2010 10:18:34 AM

EEAAAAAAGLESSSSSSSSSS!

6/17/2010 10:20:33 AM

I say the Greek guy should have gotten a yellow for flopping on that push.
Sure, red the Nigerian, but the Greek oversold it.
