delboy Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 impressed with Chile first half but you ain't exactly crap if you finish just a point behind Brazil in qualifying! Shame I have to go out and will miss the Spain game.Been doing plenty of match blogging on the WC if you're bored and looking for something to read...Delboy1969's Blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 There was no emotional bribery involved in that goal. That was 100% Korean Spirit. It was literally blood sweat and tears, as that Korean guy got his leg cut open by a nasty friction burn.It was the same guy who was crying in the national anthem. Should have known then that he wasn't very thick skinned.Sorry.I wish I was watching this Chile v Honduras game, from what I know of Chile from qualifying they only know one way to play and that is all out attack.

Soda Jerk Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's the right way to play. For the neutral anyway. Which is who the World Cup is for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Spain's current 1st choice midfielders have had better seasons than him. Iniesta certainly looks lively enough but i guess Fabregas will come on in the 2nd half.

Having said that i'm not saying he's a bad player by any stretch, i just think the others offer more in a team sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Iniesta hasn't had the best season, as it's been hindered by injury, and Alonso, whilst being good, hasn't replicated what he did at Liverpool yet, as Real Madrid finshed second mostly because of Ronaldo and Higuain winning games single handedly. I'd definitely say Fabregas has had a better season than those two. He scores alot of penalties, but he's still scored alot more from open play than both, as well as dragging Arsenal through games by himself.Still. a 100% fit Iniesta should always be first choice to partner Xavi. Xavi is incredible, but in the games when Iniesta was injured, he looked a little isolated. They work incredibly as a unit. They're almost considered as one player. They were penned in as one player in Four Four Two's 100 Greatest Players table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 5 minutes of added time? There's been one goal, and nothing else.The game isn't even being played at Old Trafford. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives?Not Switzerland, that's what. Spain are sill top contenders to win that group, neither Honduras nor Chile are quite so solid at the back so that should be 6 points and a second round tie against Korea DPR.

Alphas Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I reckon Spain will have to look to qualify second, they'll be very dependent on other results to finish top. Could set up a tasty last 32 against Brazil if they go through top as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I used to be quite a fan of Iniesta. Then he went and did the whole "book him ref" and held up the imaginary card. Now he can get fucked. Evra would never do that. Not on your life. Stellar gent. Sterling professional. Godlike footballer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 The vuvuzelas are out in force tonight!!I think South Africa might just edge this one... I may however be totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 When Mexico scored against BAFANABAFANA in the opening game, the vuvuzelas stopped for a few seconds. So tonight, I hope Uruguay never stop scoring goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 bah a major shock at the tournament and I blooming miss it! Still this is a decent game between South Africa and Uruguay. Forlan is bossing the game, good bit of punditing from the ever dependable Lawro regarding the ball... 'er it's only a ball'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
