Argentina 2 - 1 Ivory Coast
A spirited performance from the Africans, but the quality of Argentina showed in the first half. They're the best side I've seen so far in the tournament, and they deserved the victory. Still, the Ivorians exceeded my expectations, and could cause trouble for the weaker Dutch defence. A good show by them.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

And from the basis of that game, it looks like if any of the big two in Group C implode, it's going to be the Netherlands.
Roy wha-? Hislop played in the FA Cup Final so I *assumed*.
Good show by Ivory Coast in the first half -- too bad they didn't convert their chances into goals, even during those lapses in Argentinian defence. Argentina were more accurate with the chances they did get, and I'm sure it's safe to say it was a good game for Saviola, in particular. Kinda died down for IC in the second half, even though they got their goal then -- Toure, Drogba and Keita made good showing. Would've liked to see more of Eboue but ah well.
Roy Carroll is ex-man utd keeper, he's been injured since January, that's why Hislop had been in the starting line-up, including the F.A Cup Final.
Oh, I see. He's still awesome thoughAfter tonight I'm convinced he DESERVES to be there, although this stellar performance was much better than anything I saw for West Ham.
I wanted IC to win that, damn it.
Football/Soccer:
-Football/Soccer has the WORST referees I've EVER SEEN IN SPORTS history.
-The acting that goes on in soccer/football is amazing.
-I hope and I'm rooting for that NO European countries win
Yeah, those darned Europeans need to be punished for their blasted 16th Century colonisation, and the punishment shall be losing the 2006 World Cup.
Quoted for truth, but yet you still miss my point, did I ever mention the word "colonisation???" stop assuming.
I didn't say you said "colonisation". I was expressing my own views on the subject. Maybe you shouldn't assume yourself.
But enlighten me here, why do you think all the European teams should lose? Perhaps you don't like their style of play?
well, why referr to my post???
it would all have been great between us if you didn't referr to my post
How about we just talk what the thread title sugests and should be reffered to as football.

I'm looking forward to Portgual v Angola and Serbia v Holland tomorrow. Both promise to be interesting encounters. I'll be rooting for the underdogs, Angola and Serbia.
I've seen blinder refs in american football. these are the strictest refs I've seen.... granted some are biased (The ref for the England/Paraguay match comes to mind)
The acting is expected.... you want to draw fouls. Although all the cards I've seen, including TRI Avery John's second yellow card that resulted him hitting the showers, were all very deserved.
It does look mighty tough for Serbia though, i don't think they'll pick up any points to be honest.
Anyone know what happened the last time England played a South American team as their first game in the World Cup?
and we didn't even win that one.
