Argies vs Korea

[Thomas L'Heureux]

Strange that one of the better games of the tournament so far is greeted by such low activity on the forum, whilst some servings of real dros has been discussed more heavily prior.

EDIT: Higuain hattrick as I type.

[Ark Royal]

Argies score a fourth of great beauty.

[Maguire]

It was an okay goal.

Look good, Argentina, although i'm cursing selecting Klose for my FF team instead of Higuain.

Made the same mistake mate, I had Higuain in my provisional team and changed him for Messi the day before the tournament started.

My strike-force of Fabiano, Messi, and Villa has been pretty pathetic to be honest (with the possible exception of a few assists for the Argentine).

Several minutes after the fact, ESPN showed Higuain in an offside position for his second, when Messi dink'd the rebound of his first shot that had been kick'saved by the SoKo 'keeper --be watch'n for that

Just before then, I'd been saying in my superdooperkickass FB live match thread that the South Koreans were up against the do-we-go-for-a-point (or more)-here-or-settle-for-losing-narrowly dilemma peculiar to this sort of competition format wherein GD can end up meaning everything (and they're already three points to the good)

[Silver Fox]

The argies seem to be pretty good for a team that will do nothing because the coach is a nutjob

[Thomas L'Heureux]

In the two second round matches thus far there have been eight goals in total, so hopefully the tournament is actually livening up a bit.

Having said that, Nigeria v Greece doesn't sound like much of a humdinger.

Leaving top drawer players like Cambiasso and Zanetti at home will soon show when the chips are down. Not to mention what Maradona will do when things go even slightly agaisnt them.

The reason they've been left out is because Zanetti, the former captain, told the players to ignore Maradona during a qualifying game. Cambiasso is another senior player who was said to be in on it.

I'm sure they'd be there otherwise.

This is the first game I actually can't be arsed to turn on.

So, 3-3 then.

Don't forget Riquelme. Another man who would be there but for the fact he walked out on them

Keep working hard, don't break the law, soften the music and TV volume after dark, and mind your children

[brendywendy]

i thought the koreans made the argies look very ordinary defensively until the killer 3rd argie goal

[brendywendy]

was there really a korean player in that game called oh bum suk?
