I'm really surprised that England won this one, now it looks a little tough for Argentines.

It's not easy to score a penalty, especially when there is SO much pressure.
Many people miss penalties. he didn't. he stepped up and produced the 'goods'!
What a match! WE WON! England played Superbly. Better luck next time to all those argentinian supporters!

WHAT-if Condition ....
GROUP F | Wednesday, June 12
Sweden v Argentina
Nigeria v England
P W D L F A Pts
Sweden 2 1 1 0 3 2 4
England 2 1 1 0 2 1 4
Argentina 2 1 0 1 1 1 3
Nigeria 2 0 0 2 1 3 0
A draw would be enough for both Sweden and England to qualify. Argentina must win to ensure their place in the last 16 but a draw could be enough if England lose, though goal difference or goals scored would then become a factor. Nigeria are already eliminated.
lets hope argentina wins tonght.
argentina shud be in the second round.
half time between Nigeria and England, still nil for both teams. i don't think England needs a goal in order to pass to the next round, they probably would do with just 0-0.

Its over for Argentina....
drew 1-1..
Un-attractive Sweden and England moves to 2nd round.
well it’s official now: Nigeria 0 England 0 this was Nigeria’s last game, they head back to Africa to prepare for the African Chamionships i think. England moves on to the next round. This World Cup IS really of suprises. Although they’re eliminated, Nigerians should be proud that they held off England during their last group game.

whoa. does that mean Argentina's eliminated for certainty??
This world cup is full of surprises. Whoever thought Argentina and France would go out in the first round.
England V Denmark will be a good match.
Sweden play Senegal.
Wow...two of the hottest favorites are packing their bags, seems like Italy is next in line!!!

well, I think i’ll stop watching the matches from now, and I’ll read in the newspaper in three weeks time who became world champions

Argentina is out, another big surprise! Sweden and England didn’t play good, but clever soccer.

Argentina was the better team but just couldn’t produce the relevant chances.
Therefore they are out!

they’re just making room for my favourite underdog, Ireland 
actually i thought Sweden played well defensively at least in the first half (that’s all i’ve watched so far). Who’d have thought that US and South Africa would make it through to the 2nd round but not countries like Argentina and France?

my hope rests with Totti and Figo! if they can produce the goods…
otherwise it will be a boring final like US vs Belgium or something like that!
No way that Belgium does qualify. And USA hope they don’t either.
All my hopes are with Italy and Senegal and or South KOrea and or Japan.
