The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup

[Carmen Stateside]

Soft penalty, would expect the Italians to push on now.

France squad refuse to train today. Has there ever been a more shambolic set up for a big team in a major tournament before.

[nifan]

The french fitness coach has walked after a row with Domenech as well according to reports.
Then the team director quit as well apparently.
Shambolic is right archie

Good enough for the cnuts. What has to happen if they are to make it through?

Do the words 'big team' mean Ireland's training session with no footballs in Saipan can be excused?

Win their game and then hope there is a winner in the Mexico-Uruguay game with a goal difference swing of 4. I think that makes sense? Surely the Mexicans and Uruguayans (?) would be happy to settle for a draw though?

Id doubt it, then the 2nd place finishers would play agentina! Whereas the winners will feel they could beat greece/nigeria/south korea.

Maybe Anelka is away to walk Roy's dog!

[Capt Pat]

This is a tight group and they could end up drawing lots.

Maybe Sarkozy will appeal to him to go back.

I don't like Italy but they know how to make a feed. 

[Archie Mitchell]

Can New Zealand hold out for another 10 minutes? Very one-sided this half. Ryan Nelson has been brilliant for them.

[nifan]

Hope so they deserve it.
Wood very close for NZ!

And wine.
And cars.
And suits.

None of which are anywhere near as important as food!
