Look at the points in group B: 9-6-3-0, nicely done.

Bah, really will have to destroy Belgium now, or the boys will be getting fed to the dogs by the dear leader. Or. Wait. Think Korea were similarly strong in the second half, compared to first half Algeria; the difference was much more clinical finishing bg Algeria, and maybe a clanger or two by the Korean goalie and defence. Couple of decent penalty shouts turned down as well.

Or 3 even, can't be outdone by France. Now to score 7.

Don't worry, we're just deferring to good etiquette (it's a Confucian thing), which at this tournament says you should let your opponents score a couple. Even when your going to win by four goals.

Boring Belgium through then.

Russia in dull game shocker. Belgium don't look great either, they're going to get slaughtered by those Koreans.

Wonder if he didn't collect a bonus for that elbow/red card? Hoho

Was tempted to say that CONCAF has 1 too many qualifying spots, but Honduras did qualify ahead of Mexico.

Don't see that Iran were all that bad at all, if highly negative ("organised") pretty much the same as the US, without the luck (OH YEAH I SAID IT!!!111). Might go with Greece, but probably Honduras, as with Joda Serk: crap and violent.

Go on then, this seems about the best we've got:

You mean Korea? I approve.

Tuned into the second hald of the France-Swiss game thinking it would be pointless... couple of great goals from the team which got humped, and one that was discounted courtesy of going in split seconds after the final whistle. France look murderously good.

So maybe Costa Rica is good.

Pretty grim stuff (from a 10 man Greece team? Never). Don't think the ball left the Greek half much at all in the last 20m or so. Japan still never looked much like scoring, and made an arse of the couple of good chances they did create. Should probably have had a penalty though.

Let ye aff

Japan playing again tonight. Struggling to see the Nippon connection in that Jurassic Park avatar.

I want Chile to win, but thought Spain still looked formidable until they collapsed totally in the last 30m or whatever it was.

Doubt the fixtures as such can be copyrighted, it'll be that spreadsheet done by the SPL specifically. Imagine it's just s blanket policy of not postin copyrighted stuff, rather than any real fear.

Hmmm.. thought Korea were somewhat better most of the game but too much aimless possession football, loads of passes between the defenders before going back to the keeper. Would've been great play if they were 1-0 up. Some daft instances of the Korean defence running at people at the edge of their own box. Teasing the Ruasian bear.

Needs the Street Fighter "ooooooaaaaauuuuurrrrgggghhhhh" knock-out sound. A well-executed flash kick I believe.

No threat

Forget all this Brazil-Mexico irrelevance, tonight's big match will involve my boys making dog meat of Jan's Russian cykas. Fear not, they won't be able to stand the climate any better than us.
