    As long as France still loses. Less than 5 minutes left.

    France loses! SA wins but still won't advance. 2 - 1.

    Lol Mexico almost gave up an own goal there at the end... I watched a highlight of that header save and I'd have to say its one of the best I've seen so far in this WC. I think the best save I've seen was in the Ghana/Australia game Saturday when the Ghana goalie came up in the box and slide to block a shot then got up and made a diving save on the 2nd attempt at the goal.

    That save was great. Not to mention, it was pretty close to the same time that Mbehla (sp) for RSA struck the post. Oh what could have been. At least France is still an absolute JOKE right now.

    Haha I didn't know that I just followed that game on here I was listening to the Mex/Uru game here at work but I agree I'm loving that France is in disarray right now. Still wish Mexico didn't advance. At least I still have the hope of England not advancing.

    Just saw this picture on the Nike Football Facebook page and thought it was pretty awesome. I love this "Write the Future" campaign they've got going on.

    I hate this having two games at the same time. I can't decide which game to watch and I hate flipping back and forth.

    SHITTU is hurt for Nigeria. Best name so far.

    And Nigeria have scored; South Korea needs to win that one to have a chance.

    Speaking of Nigeria

    My friend, who is from Nigeria, says this is a serious threat...everyone wants him, literally, dead for that red card.

    Nigeria just has to hold on to the lead and hope Argentina can defeat Greece.

    If Higuain gets one today I'm thinking about putting a decent amount of cash down on him to win the Golden Boot. Thoughts? That will give him four so far.

    I like it.

    Klose got it in '06 with 5. I might wait til next round though. I can see David Villa going off.
  • big_red_drummer
    Yakubu with the miss of the tournament! That was a shocking miss.

    Just as I type this, a penalty for Nigeria.

    Argentina 1 - 0 on Greece
  • big_red_drummer
    Nigeria are perfecting the art of beating the keeper but not being able to get the ball into the open net.
  • Fab1b
    Greece is done, Arg 2 - 0

    go to best buy or target or something and buy a cable splitter. Assuming you have a second TV, it takes about 5 minutes to get 2 TVs going. You need 2 more cable cords as well. But it is well worth it. I have had it set up since Sunday (for the golf and the World Cup).
