I think Sweden may beat them. I don't really understand the hype about England whenever they qualify for world cups. They always suck.

Beckham.

agree about England being over ratted.

Neterlands 1X0 Serbia-Montenegra
I like Holand.

I got up early to watch it, but kept falling asleep.

Mexico 3 Iran 1

The first half was bit by bit equal with the Iranians having a few close misses. But after Bravo scored Mexico's second goal -which was the defense's fault-, Iran fell apart and that was that. Even the commentator admitted that they were in loss.

Holland's game was solid, and Portugal looks promising.

USA and Italy both dubut tommorow, and I will actually be home this time...

Beckham.

Please...he probably is THE most overrated player in the world (or at least, was). Granted he is one of the best (if not the best) long-ball players in the game and is equally accurate from corners and free-kickers. He has no other standout abilities.

I know for a fact, there is only ONE armenian playing in the world cup and he is in the Iranian team. Too bad they were beaten by Mexico.

Yes, Kudos to the 'roos! Two very smart substitutions, 3 very nice goals. Made for a great start for the day. The highlight for me however was Italy's win over Ghana and those thunderous goals from Andrea Pirlo and Tomas Rosicky who alongside his boys murdered The U.S.

Brazil plays tommorow:

JOGA BONITO

Zartonk, you ring a bell didn´t know you knew Portuguese...

I think you are mistaking him with a Chinese sport/person. Their names tend to be the same .

Boghos jan you tend to pick up alot watching this game...

Today went as follows:

Korea came back, France got surprised and Brazil was BRAZIL!

Does the first one happen to be (Nuno) Gomes -pronounced GOM-ESH by some-...?!!

J/K though, good player...

[Sip]

The first one is Ruud van Nistelrooy (aka Rutgerus Johannes Martinius van Nistelrooij.

With Pimpong, I cracked up EVERY time they said his name .. oh and I mostly watch the spanish broadcasts because I simply can't stand most of the US ones. Tommy Smith is a big exception and I wish he could broadcast all the games.

Brazil was superb as usual but not as proficient in scoring as I was expecting. Ronaldo turned out to be a huge dud but I was expecting that too. I sort of miss Rivaldo but Kaka seems to be taking over very nicely.

So far, I have had the most fun watching the Australians come back against Japan and the first 20 mins of the Brazil-Croatia game. The South Korea game was good too ... especially when the little koreans went flying everytime one of the Togo guys flicked them ever so slightly
