South Korea v Togo, France v Switzerland, Brazil v Croatia

[Reggie]

Anyone got a stream? Can't get the BBC coverage outside the UK.

[sutty]

Kinell, I'm glad I'm not a commentator in this one.

 

It's hard enough trying to analyse the game without haveing to analyse 3 quarters of the alphabet to try and get a name out of there at the same time.

[Logic]

Anyone know of online radio coverage? At work so that's my only option.

 

BBC won't work because I'm a bloody OOC'er!!

My first bet of the World Cup. I have bought South Korea over Togo at 0.6 goals.

what does that mean in practice? If SK win you get 0.4 + the margin of victory * your stake back?

CAM ON SOUT KOREAH

[Bootle Buck]

Turned on the TV and Tommy "Onion Bag" Smyth was commentating. The fecker spoils the game with his idiotic comments.

 

Thank God the Koreans have one lad with blonde hair as the others all look a-like.

[BDB]

I know its early bit neither of the teams appear to have any real attacking bite about them.

 

Nice tackle into the back there on Park(the man united one)

He was on PTI last week as ESPN's soccer "expert". Kornheiser and Wilbon kept calling him Tony

Togo in front. Nice finish to.

[Stevie H]

cracking strike that.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Great finish, in off the post.

[Bailo]

This is the team which Barry "Bazza" Davies got dropped after, when he made comments very similar to that last World Cup. Not heard of again.

[Stevie H]

gamblers - it's worth a bet on togo not finishing this game with eleven men.

[BDB]

That was one of the first real attacking movements of the game.. Well taken goal.

 

Lets see how the africans hold onto a lead.

[Kenny_]

Thought Togo were alright myself. Well taken goal.

 

Think things could have been different if they hadn't got that sending off. Still manage to create chances though they were ten men.

 

South Korea weren't impressive I thought, they will have to raise their game if they're going to advance. Fancy Switzerland going through along with France myself.

One good thing to come out of this match, Graham Poll will probably get sent home for messing up his cards

this lad barnetta is meant to be really good. and frei has a decent goal rate too.

 

still think it's weird seeing chimbonda's name alongside zidane, henry, vieira, thuram et al.

[Stevie H]

ribery and abidal up that left hand side for france could be interesting if they combine well with henry.
