FIFA World Cup: England Wasn't Good Enough To Beat USA

South Korea 2 Greece 0

South Korean were the first match winner in this year's World Cup. They won because they were fitter and more organised or they won because Greece was really poor? Me think both!

Argentina 1 Nigeria 0

Argentina scored early. Juan Sebastian Veron send a corner across the penalty box. Heinz went in unchallenged and send a diving header in. ( Where's the defender marking Heinz? )

Lionel Messi is back! What magic!

At this rate, he could be the star of this year's World Cup.

Hats of to Enyeama! He was superb at goal for Nigeria. He was the only reason Messi did not score!

But Messi biggest obstacle is surely Maradona.

This Argentina team is gonna play some fantasy football but the team has a very weak engine room. Veron had a poor match. His passes were generally poor and with such an engine room, a well organised team, like the current Brazil team, could easily thrash the daylights of Argentina if Argentina continued playing like how they played against Nigeria. Yes, I do not think this team has the steel to win it. If Argentina had a real coach, this World Cup is theirs for the taking.

Angel Di Maria was a disappointment. I was hoping that he would show why he's so highly rated!

England 1 United States 1

Green monster. I had hoped for Hart to play in goal but apparently Capello had more confidence in Green.

I did not like the team selection for England.

I would have played Cole and Rooney.

Rooney had no service last night and was forced to search for the ball from a much deeper position. Rooney should be up higher to be more effective. Milner was poor and thank goodness Capello took him off after 30 mins! But then SWP was a joke on the left wing. Lampard was largely missing and Gerrard looks uncomfortable sitting back.

England needs Gareth Barry back badly!

Tonight's matches...

Ok. That sounds too exciting. LOL!

My call?

Algeria and Slovenia to draw. Germany and Australia to draw too! And Serbia to beat Ghana.

Player focus tonight is Milos Krasic of Serbia.

:D
