Argentina are just fantastic, and they're very close to replacing Brazil as my tip for tournament winners. To break down a defence with a record lke Serbia and Montenegro's so comprehensively shows just how amazing they are gonig forward, and their defence is probably the strongest outside of Europe, too.
Holland and the Ivory Coast put on a good show too, and the Ivorians proved that they are the strongest of the African sides in this year's competition, and that had they been given a luckier draw they certainly wouldn't be out of the competition already. Lovely goal from Kone, and I thought that Romaric was great going forward at times, too. They should come back greatly improved in future tournaments.
Angola are holding Mexico at the moment, through a lack of Mexican invention more than anything. I hope the Africans get the result, since it would be unfair for them not to take anything from two spirited performances against Portugal and Mexico.
EDIT: Yup, 0-0 draw. Well done to Angola.

Some team not on there! It always turns out unexpected does it not?!
GO MEXICO, well Angola did pretty damn good.

Someone else who has that coming is Emanuel Eboue.Arjen Robben booked for diving ^___^ Doesn't that just make your day?? He really had it coming.
So, I've tipped Poland to go through and possibly challenge Germany for the first spot in Group A, both Tunisia and Serbia to push for qualification from their two groups, either Argentina or the Netherlands to implode, and Mexico to be possible Quarter or Semi finalists. I suck :laugh:
However, I have decided to use my power for good. Therefore, I'm going to tip Germany, Ecuador, Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, the Netherlands, Mexico, Portugal, Angola, Iran, Italy, the Czech Republic, USA, Ghana, Brazil, Croatia, Australia, Japan, France, Togo, Switzerland, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia to win the World Cup.(it will be shared)
yay for sharing!
Angola hold Mexico and that is a 1st class example that Mexico don't deserve their 4th place FIFA ranking!
If anyone wants to see the goals again, you can download them from these links,

You're getting the hang of it! Now predict a dominant Chelsea to steamroller their way to a third consecutive Premiership title.However, I have decided to use my power for good. Therefore, I'm going to tip Germany, Ecuador, Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, the Netherlands, Mexico, Portugal, Angola, Iran, Italy, the Czech Republic, USA, Ghana, Brazil, Croatia, Australia, Japan, France, Togo, Switzerland, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia to win the World Cup.
A lovely strike from Deco to put Portugal through to the next round, but the real issue in Group D is second place. Since their last game is against Iran, it's quite possible that Angola could sneak through on goal difference if results go their way. Personally I don't see it happening, but stranger things have happened in the World Cup.
With Argentina dominating S&M yesterday, they're looking the team most likely to go on and win the whole thing. The Czechs and Italians will have to impress in their respective matches today if they're going to look competitive. If they can't do the business today, this is going to start looking very much likes the Argies' tournament.

Czech 0 - 1 Ghana
Wow, what a peformance from Ghana!
The Ghana - Czech Rep. game is one of the best I have seen ever. Ghana are AMAZING. They're quick, great with their tackles and it's all so thrilling. Gyan and Appiah are fantastic, and (naturally) Essien is pivotal in the middle. They're just so fast that their defence is hardly ever shattered -- Rosicky's shown some good pace for the Czechs, but even so, their defending has been pretty ace. They're really going for it, and I hope they continue on in this vein. Nothing'd make me happier right now than if Ghana win
Ghana 2-0!!!
They have pretty much won!!! Well done Ghana!!
Amazing play, but the czechs have been weak!
Hail the underdogs!!!

Shock result of the tournament so far, and I doubt it'll be beaten either. It's not that the Czech's played terribly badly, but they really missed having a decent striker; Lokvents isn't even close to the quality of Koller or Baros. What Ghana excelled in here was quickly closing upon the Czech players, not allowing them to stroke the ball about the pitch, and did well to not give away too many cards and end up with players sent off, which was a worry I had at half time. It was fascinating to see how badly the Ghanians tore apart the Czech defence, especially in the last twenty or so minutes, though they were just enjoying themselves way too much to stay onside XD Really, if they had, they could have beaten Argentina's six goals against Serbia and Montenegro, but my hat's off to the Ghanaians. Well done lads.

lol, now Ghana has a great chance of qualifying. Brazil vs Ghana, it'll be a great game!
I hope Ghana qualify
They were smurfing brilliant. I'm so proud of them -- forget the gap between 5th ranked and 2nd, and look at how the 50th beat the 2nd. First African win of the tournament so far too, and another cause to be glad. ^_^
If not for Petr Cech, the scoreline could have been more embarassing for the Czechs. I don't remember the Ghanian goalie making any great saves until the last minute of extra time, which gave him a chance to show that he was as class as anyone else on the Ghanian team. Muntari -- smurfing brilliant and relentless.
Finally a team I'm cheering for win. o_o I was starting to feel jinxed.
