Group B - Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece

[BoyBrumby]

Goal difference would be the same, and Korea would have scored one more goal. Or am I missing something?

You sure? South Korea are already on -1, so if they lose by a goal they'll be on -2. Nigeria are on -2 so if they win by one they move to -1.

Greece are on -1 currently, so any defeat means they'll be worse off.

Have to say I found this to be one of the more entertaining matches of the tournament so far.

It wasn't always pretty, but it was action-packed. Really enjoyed it.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Yup. Both teams played to their entertainment potential, at least. Keeper has a decent shout in the Could'vebeens XI.

And to those of you dissing the red card - do you know how much a half-dozen studs in the thigh hurts?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Actually turned out to be a decent game, yes. It was more the closeness of the scores rather than the quality of the football that held the interest I think, but enjoyed it.

Red card was probably the making of the game, tbh. Gave Greece belief.

 

[The Sean]

25 goals in the first 16 games, 11 in the last three. Opening-match tentativeness out of the way, it would seem.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, I think that'll continue. Wins generally become relatively more important than not losing in the second round of matches.

 

[Furball]

Agree with this, although I think there is a grey area somewhere in between

If an opposing player does something which would be deemed violent contact, then provided that he makes contact I'd hit the deck.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah really got going now Chile were great to watch then we had the massive upset and now plenty of goals in the second round.

That was such a stupid sending off though, totally idiotic. Were winning that game so comfortably.

Greece still a bad England side multiplied by 100 though.

Yeah, fair enough, I'm thinking more of when players hold their heads after being touched on the arm or whatever

 

[marc71178]

Hmm. Wonder if the Argies will play a weakened side. Seems like the sort of things those scumbags would do.

Hope so as I've gone for Argentina and Greece to make the last 16.

 

[Burgey]

Argies currently playing the most eye-candied football in the Cup so far. Have a tendency to **** themselves for a few minutes every time an error gets pounced upon, but they really are looking like contenders right now.

AwtWhelan.

Certainly not my favourite sporting team, but their passing game is ****ing sublime to watch.

 

[Pothas]

Would probably still win comfortbably.

Aguero for one looked excellent when he came on today.

Help a brother out. There's a defender (I think) playing for Argentina. He's a tank, with lots of hair tied back and some facial hair happening. What's his name?

EDIT: Think I mean Gutierrez, who is apparently a midfielder.

 

[duffer]

Gutierrez or Demichelis?

 

[Nate]

Ahhhhhhhhh, knew I'd seen him for Newcastle! Awesome.

 

[marc71178]

Yes, very attacking left winger for Newcastle, so obvious choice at right back!

Is ****, in all honesty. Accident waiting to happen.

 

[Scaly piscine]

So think it's fair to say Argentina are going through (they'd have to lose by 3 goals to have a chance of being knocked out), but any one of the other three could quite easily go through too.

Hopefully this one doesn't peter out like the earlier group.
