Man Ukraine are fricking lousy. But damn good performance from Spain. Time to buy Ramos to replace Marquez, highly doubtful that Spain will be conceding more goals in this weak group.

 

[Paragon]

Well well, 4-nil against Ukraine. And Tunisia and S/Arabia to come. Nine points, clean sheets, and a bagful of goals ? Presumptious but definitely on.

 

[my sharona]

Fuck yeah! Torres is superawesome

Shame for Ukraine though, they had 3/4 of their team playing defence, quite poorly.

Spain vs UAE should be a good one to watch while having a few drinks.

Very relieved to buy Torres yesterday. I have a feeling his stock is going to go through the roof after today, Villa too.

 

[AcStyle*]

This group is looking weaker by the minute...one of Ukraine, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia will make the nxt round while a quality team like Cote d'Ivoire will probly miss out.

Don't go out of your way to make plans for those drinks, better wait for UAE to qualify first.

'buy Torres' .... what exactly does that mean Benny ?

I think for his fantasy team.

Damn... for a moment there I thought we'd got him for Man Utd

Yep for fantasy team

You're a United fan dhj? Very disappointing that a man of fine tastes in film would choose so poorly in football clubs

For some reason I got Saudi Arabia mixed up with UAE.. must have something to do with the 3 hours sleep I got last night. Damn Brazil and their slow starts.

that penalty and red card was a horrible decision. refs in my division wouldnt blow like that.

i thought villa was a bit meh, a deflected goal and a poorly taken penalty. he had one open play chance and fucked it up. nothing like he was hyped up to be. senna on the other hand was top class. real impressive.

*Exhale*

I eventually figured out the Fantasy bit. Seeing as you're a Liverpudian, you can imagine my immediate distress when you throw around words like 'buy' and 'Torres' so loosely.

Has everyone been staying up last few days? The timing of the exams are a real bummer eh?

 

[redruM]

some of the offside calls by the linesman in the 1st half was pretty bad too

but yeh spain has been most impressive, prolly the best ive seen besides the czechs. wonder how tunisians and the saudis will go against them.

 

[Paragon]

For their sake, I hope they didn't see any of the Spanish match before their own opener.

Why not? They'd love to have a crack at a Ukraine down on confidence, I suspect.

 

[stazi]

my first bet i got incorrect in the whole cup, i think. stupid spain

Er, what about T&T v. Sweden ?

 

[matt#1]

What an interesting match this one looks like, ay?. I'll predict Tunisia 2-0 Saudis.

I hope they score those two goals soon so I can go get some rest.
