Yay! First off Vincent Enyeama of Nigeria is probably the best goalie in the cup, blocked 4 of Messi's shots,2 while he was inside the 5.5m box, and 2 other close shots from different players. My favorite game so far was probably US v England just because it's fun to rub it in the face of my English friend who refuse to say the name of the goalie (Robert Green I think). I also really enjoyed Mexico v South Africa and Brazil v North Korea. I want Spain to win but after the abysmal performance today I have no idea what's going to happen.I really like Uruguay as well, Diego Forlan is amazing. I'm pissed at Cristiano Ronaldo for being a diving little fucker which made me lose respect for him. Also I think Thierry Henry showed very little effort even though he didn't play until 75 minutes in vs Uruguay his free kick was pathetic. There's my thoughts.

I don't know who will win this world cup. All major teams are failing. The best one so far is Germany, and I seriously hope England doesn't get them later :( |

I hardly doubt that. I mean, they got North Korea and it was 2x1. |

Enyeama is not the best goalkeeper at the tournament. Sorry but I'd take Buffon and Casillas over him just for starters. Probably Tim Howard of America is better than him. |

South Korea plays incredibly fast. And Germany is quite good, they are a pretty young team. Argentina stinks, talk about being a team with no alternatives. About Group A, South Africa is going down bigtime. France is pretty weak this year, so I'm confident that they won't beat Mexico tomorrow, in fact I have my money on my team winning. And I'm freaking out about Uruguay, awesome forwads, great defense, their weak spot is the midfield, so if my greenies control the midfield on the third game, Uruguay would have to go for long passes to get Forlan, who then will be isolated, and I pray the defense has a good game, only good games in this World Cup, please. About Mexico, well as usual no real talented forwards, except for Chicharo who signed to Manchester United for a lot, but him and Vela (who is also kind of good and plays on Arsenal) are too young, and possibly Blanco, that at times has sparks of greatness, but he's old and slow, but the young folks get really motivated when he is in the field. I dont get how they started Franco against South Africa. I've never seen him score. The midfield is quite awesome as usual, and the defense is irregular, as usual. Still I believe the team has its greatest selection in a long time. And also the toughest group in a long time. |

Buffon has always been overrated. And Enyeama had a great first game, but so did Khune and he got kicked out and had an awful second game. |

Buffon is overrated and I don't think Howard is better, Casillas though maybe. We'll see tomorrow when they play Greece, but they're pretty weak. For my home team to even make it out the group round they need to get some more shots on goal. Nigeria has decent forwards but they can't seem to get very far past middie.From what I've seen vs other teams and in the Olympics, they usually rely on defence and then offense, but they're pretty damn fast. But hey we won a silver medal in Beijing. I'm looking forward to Mex v France that's going to be awesome but Mexico has some of the worst kickers I've seen in a while, their only goal vs SA was so close to the goal I could have made it. If Henry doesn't straighten the fuck up the attraction of French games will be pretty low. |

Of course Buffon is over-rated. Everything is over-rated. Non-point.
Gigi Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world and has been since about his 3rd or 4th season. And I've no respect for him as a man (fuck the fascist cunt) but he's clearly great at what he does. |

Henry is way past his best in my view anyway, he's not the star attraction of the french team, thats Franck Ribery and Jeremy Toulalan. I'm kind of suprised Thierry Henry got in the squad especially with Karim Benzema around. |

Enyeama is doing pretty well, but if Nigeria wants to win they need to get some more possession, they had the same problem with Argentina. |
