Germany 2-0 Sweden. Convincing display by Germany. They look like going a long way in the competition. Bad luck with the bet, Stas .

-_-

larsson whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

i kept you in my fantasy team, and this is how you repay me

*sobs*

 

[stazi]

dang, oh well, still have my $5 @ $9.50 to germany to win the whole thing. hope they do. well, hope that australia do with my $1 @ $71

For this match, I will predict Argentina 3-0 Mexico. Even though Mexico are a decent side...I think that it will be asking too much of them to beat what is arguably the form side of the tournament so far. I think that this match is the biggest mismatch of all of the games in the 2nd round.

What an absolute peach of a goal by Maxi Rodriguez.

2-1 to the Argies, 8 minutes into 1st half of ET.

C'mon Argentina.

 

[otay]

Wow. What a match! Germany v Argentina looks like its gonna be an absolute cracker. Rodriguez goal was ridiculous. Top 5 of the tourno, and at this World Cup that's saying something.

 

[bazookajoe]

this game isn't 'klose' at all.

Yes, "Frings" aren't looking good for Sweden

[sunjet]

what a fucking strike by rodriguez

 

[bazookajoe]

Yeah I just saw it on YouTube, sensational volley

EDIT: Great news for Australia here.

Italy have confirmed Alessandro Nesta will miss Monday's clash with Australia through injury.

Or we can just keep playing with heart and as a team and let them deal with their Seria A scandals, weight of expectation and clashing egos and we may also stand a chance

totti is awesum, sif hack him. We need grella to hack pirlo though.

did anyone notice simon hills' bizarre call in the argentina game? I think he said "... what he lacks in inches he makes up for in application"

 

[otay]

Yeah i had a laugh when he said that. Maybe he has a date this weekend and is just hinting something in advance.

 

[Richiee]

Bah, I really hope we win, or at least give them a hard time.
