Nigeria vs Argentina could be really good tomorrow - depends whether Messi can really show he can play for Maradona. My inner Falkander wants the Argies to screw up but I really like a lot of their players (Messi, Tevez, Mascherano, Maxi Rodriguez) so as long as they aren't playing us....
I ALWAYS expect Argentina to go all the way, and they ALWAYS disappoint. I think it's just because I want someone in this hemisphere to be better than Brazil...but they aren't. Shit, they finished behind Chile and Paraguay in their regional qualification. Maybe now that I think they'll fall flat, they'll actually succeed.
Any time an African team plays, it can be fun to watch. You never know what you'll see. They could get drubbed 8-0 or provide some of the most exhilarating scores of the tourney.
Biggest goal differential for an opening round match? My guess would be Brazil vs. N. Korea. I'm predicting a Korean upset of 12-1. Famine makes you dangerous.

Greece looked poor this morning...almost like they needed the rest of Europe to bail them out!
ha. Most entertaining match so far though, SK came to win.
BTW the Brazilian referee for England vs USA was suspended in the Brazil league this year for likely corruption, and is also card happy.

I don't like card happy. They throw a card and then, ten minutes later, you'll get a make-up call (See: Italy vs. USA, 2006).
Anyway, Argentina is much much better than Nigeria, except perhaps at goalie. If it weren't for that Nigerian goalie, I think this would be about 4-0 at half. He's giving his team a chance, but their shots have been sloppy, usually after one too many touches.

England are awful so far besides the goal.
Care to amend this post?
Good luck, but Alexei Lalas is on crack
Yeah, but I hardly expect unbiased, quality journalism from former athletes. Truth is, we've all seen teams win games they shouldn't and lose games they shouldn't. Another 45' will tell the story.
Where's Crouch? I can't imagine not using that guy, given how difficult his height makes things.

Not really. It was a soft goal, but England didn't deserve to be winning. Might See Crouch in the second half, Rooney likes playing with Heskey but he's hardly seen the ball.
