Its really amazing to see England with such a great lineup but not good performance overall, so far I have seen all 4 teams play in this group and I think Argentina and NIgeria clearly will qualify for the round of 16.
Nigeria proved to be great opponent for Argentina, I predicted a margin of 3 but the game was the best so far in the wc, I'm impressed, not surprised the way Argentines played, great as usual and attacked on every aspect of the game.
Can't wait till Arg plays Eng, but the way both of them played their first matches, Argentina will definantly win.
Here is how group is haping up.
Team PTS Played Won Lost Drawn For Against
Argentina 3 1 1 0 0 1 0
England 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
Sweden 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
Nigeria 0 1 0 1 0 0 1
Good matches in this group tomorrow:
Sweden V Nigeria, difficult to predict but maybe Nigeria.
Argentina V England, heart says England, head says Argentina. 1-0 to Argentina but I wont be upset if my prediction is wrong.

A shocking result which sends Nigeria out of the world cup.

Regardless of loosing the match, I think Nigeria played better than Sweden, they were extremely unlucky on some of the attempts they made to score, but now they are the first team to be officially eliminated from the world cup.
I'm really surprised that England won this one, now it looks a little tough for Argentines.

Nope, that honour went to Saudi's yesterday.
Nigeria has dissapointed us all. Well better luck next time.
As for England vs. Argentina it was a great match. England deserved to win and they won.
I like that referee very much his is good at making decisions.
Well played England, although I didnt like the last 15 mins of performance by England. Total power play by Argentina.
Another Top Fav. loses an important match.

$%$*@! England won!
I have a question… Was that Argentina, or did I just watch Senegal?
Argentina was always playing towards the defensive end throughout the game, till the last 15min.
Danny Millis and Andy Cole, played really well in the defense. Actually the whole team played really well. And no wonder Owen is one of the best in the world, do you see what he can do! Wow.
To think, everyone predicted Argentina to win flawless in the World Cup.
England better lose to Nigeria, and Sweden and Argentina better draw, or I’ll have to beat you English hooligans up

This game reminded me of France 98’s song.. “Do you mind if I play, Do you mind if I win”.
Btw.. I don’t believe Bekham got his revenge, because it was a penalty.
