So, the match between France and Uruguay is starting, anyone still up watching? Great game last match between Mexico and South Africa, Mexico is more dominating overall and has great chance of qualifying, but South Africa played good as well, especially the first part of the second half.
About France vs Uruguay, France is on paper stronger but Uruguay is not to be underestimated either, I expect that if he's on form, Forlan could really wreck havoc on France's defense. |

Well i m still watching France vs Uruguay Looks like Uruguay is being outmuscled by France's midfield but France really gave away lots of good chance at goal with their long shot.
Probably going to be a 1 - 0 to France unless Uruguay can pull an upset via long ball play.

0 - 0 for France vs Uruguay. Uruguay puts up a good defense despite being one man down though i felt France gave away their chance to score with their silly long range shooting. Would have been better if Ribeiry spent less time trying to out dribble the defenders and more time practicing his passing XD

Yeah, the first game between Mexico and SA was more interesting than the second one. France controls most of the midfield but their executions were rather poor, and the few times when Uruguay takes back control of the game their attacks proved ineffective as well. Most interesting is perhaps Lodeiro getting himself the first red card in the world cup, and Henry claiming handball at the end of the match was funny.

Well as a Yank, I'm gonna take a limited approach, until the 16 starts.
I'm interested in South Korea's match (if just for water cooler talk with my pal whos Korean). I like watching the underdog Bahana Bahana. Oh yea, theres the US UK match too I guess |

Fixed.
Anyway, I know at the World Cup we're all supposed to drop our club allegiances, but it was so good seeing Marquez's performance for his national team basically dictate the play by his pinpoint passing. And it was always good to see Abidal and Henry get game time - nicely done by Abidal in the centre of defence; not his usual starting position at club level. Happy with the quality and entertainment of two games so far. |

We threw a great party at the opening matches but unfortunately those matches are not as good as we hoped for as both of them ends with draw. At least South Africa vs Mexico both teams scored a goal each. Unless France defeat South Africa and Mexico, they can get tickets to go home early.

I really expected Mexico to win, I was kinda of disapointing with the draw, but the fact France and Uruguay draw as well gives me a bit of relief. I think Mexico -vs- France is gonna be a good match
BTW: I liked the dance the africans did when they scored, Was really cool. XD

Wow...I guess i"m not watching a replay of France v Uruguay. All draws in Group A so far? If South Africa can beat Uruguay, they would be a decent chance to get through.
Tonight's triple header looks tantalising but I'm going to have to pick which ones I watch on the first telecast.
