This is how it looks like:

Germany - Sweden
Argentina - Mexico

England - Ecuador
Portugal - Netherland

Italy - Australia
Switzerland - Ukraine

Brazil - Ghana
Spain - France

We will watch some great games. Tomorrow are two matches:
GER - SWE 2-1
ARG - MEX 3-1

[Petite Française bis]

Agree, I want to se a good match too.
But Ghana can win, because Brazil team will underate them, and they will perhaps not play with all the power agains them. Everything is possible.

You buried us too quickly

[velik_m]

Nay, Korea deflected it. The Assistant ed Korea by raising his flag.

game doesn't stop until the whistle blows. The flag is there for the main ref, not for players.

Swiss win, France wins.

[austinfan]

I cant' wait to watch the Argentina-Mexico game tomorrow. I have a feeling it's gonna be a dogfight, along with Portugal-Holland.

[nkdlunch]

yup if mexico can hold out till late in the game, they have a chance

but Argentina will probably win and that Riquelme fro argentina is quickly becoming my favorite player

[polandprzem]

France- Togo 3-0
Swiss - Korea 2-1
Spain -Arabia 2-0
Ukraine - Tunisia 2-1

Well I predicted the winner but dammit none score is correct today

[Texas_Ranger]

If you guys didn`t know:

Patric Viera haves birthday today. He`s got 30 years.
He scored a goal today so that was his gift to himself.

[ALVAREZ6]

So if Argentina wins, they play the winner of Germany - Sweden???

Are you scared?

Argentina will win GER or SWE, they should not be a problem.

[cheguevara]

So if Argentina wins, they play the winner of Germany - Sweden???

yes. basically its gonna be Argentina vs. Germany in Berlin!!!!

I am almost sure Germany is gonna win it all.

[ALVAREZ6]

I'm not scared, but Germany is a tough team.


I have confidence in Juan Riquelme, "el loco" Carlos Tevez, Hernan Crespo, Lionel Messi, Javier Saviola, Maxi Rodriguez, "el raton" Roberto Ayala, Sorin, Cambiasso...

they will dominate.

You forgot Julio Ricardo Cruz, he is my fauvourite ARG player with Cambiasso and Riquelme.

[polandprzem]

You are forgotting the Poles in 'Germs' team

[danyel]

"el loco" Carlos Tevez

Loco? I think Tevez nickname is Apache...but I might be wrong

[Phenomanul]

There aren't enough matches for an Argentinian fan to be confident....

There aren't enough matches for an Argentinian fan to be confident....

and yet I am... go figure

[Phenomanul]

and yet I am... go figure

For some reason I thought we had met more times than that...

I mean we have like thirty something meetings with Brasil and only 14 with Argentina... weird.

What's even weirder is that in the years spanning 1985-1993 (During the Maradona-led years and later Batistuta) the record was 1-4-1...

[Phenomanul]

Hopefully there is little controversy in tomorrow's game.... I'm tired of all the missed calls so far....

[MaNuMaNiAc]

hegamboa, you should really look more into the times you've met us under important compe ions. I know Argentina usually doesn't send its best squad for friendlies and the such. For example, did you know the US has beaten Argentina more times than Argentina has beaten the US? but every time we've played the US it has been for friendlies and every time, we've sent our third squad. So those sorts of things can be decieving.

Although I do agree Mexico can be a tough opponent when playing their very best football, the thing is, they aren't right now. Who knows, anything can happen really.

I realize that, I just thought it was surprising... I thought the record was more like 25-6-5 or something along those lines...

again, check into who was playing

its shouldn't be, Mexico has always been a very good team, just for some reason or other they always fail to reach the top. Its definately not talent you're lacking IMO.
