Nigeria need to wake up, argentina not all that at the back and would they stop passing around in their own half ffs.

Nigeia could get a few chances, but i dont think they will take them

Nigeria keeper had a couple of brilliant saves there, only a matter of time before Argentina get the second I reckon.

Adebayor needs to get My Fair Lady out of the video shop and learn to speak proper. The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Alexi Lalas is a hateful cnut! He is in the studio for Espn over here. No one knows anything only him.

Was just thinking that Carmen. Condescending p***k.

Isnt he just, he really irritates me. The wee Wigan manager gets cut off by him every time he trys to speak.

Veron is just Hub Hughes with a goatee.

He seems to have acres of space every time he gets the ball, maybe more to do with Nigerias set up. He can still pass a ball around.

Veron looks fit and well, helped argentina get on top in that game.

Shooting and finishing has been poor enough in the tournament so far, it might have something to do with the new ball.

Noticed that myself, corners and frees all seem to be over hit.

It is bizarre that England wait 5 years for a keeper to come along who makes clean sheets seem easy, then play Green instead. More bizarre is that Capello gets 4m a year to make those decisions.

When I think that the European champions have just hired a failure as their manager, it all suggests that soccer management is as much luck as anything

Carmen Stateside · June 12, 2010, 08:25:00 PM

His choice of playing Milner paid off too!

If Hart played and made an error like that everyone would be saying he is too inexperienced and shouldn't have started. Hart hasn't played enough for England.
