did anyone see in the 68th minute where the Argentine player smashed the ball into a Nigerian players hand in the penalty box and it went out for a corner. Shouldn't it be a penalty?

Or am i missing something, that i dont know?

I thought it was handball at the time too, is that a rule Bradesman?

after listening to their anthem on the World Cup game, I have decided Argentina has the greatest national anthem in the world. it's ****ing epic.

It's pretty good, but Spain's (no words!) is ****ing awesome. And I just heard Ghana's today and it's bloody marvellous.

Ours is pretty shit, but it's not as bad as yours

Maradona is the one person you can genuinely say is bigger than a team.

I remember watching an Aus vs Argentina davis cup tie and halfway through the 1st set Maradona arrived and this caused a 5 minute delay.

Would of thought Dean Rioli was a shout.

Sales of condoms jumped five-fold in South Korea as fans celebrated after the nation's football players rose to the occasion in their opening World Cup game against Greece.

After the game, fans in celebratory mood bought five times more condoms than during the team's lacklustre 2006 World Cup performance, the paper said.

A feel good story.

Maradona is keeping me interested in this world cup...

In response to Pele's assertion that Maradona only took the Albiceleste coaching job because he needed the money, Maradona declared that the Brazil legend should "go back to the museum" before taking a stab at UEFA's top brass.

"I'm not surprised [by his comments]. He should return to the museum," Maradona told a press conference, before suggesting that Platini and Pele try the controversial Adidas Jabulani match ball which has not impressed 'El Pelusa'.

"And Platini, I'm not surprised with him either because I've always had a distant relationship with him. Hello, Goodbye! We all know how the French are, and Platini is French and believes he is better than the rest.

"I don't want to go into the ball again because everyone is talking about it. But it is important and it does play a part and I would ask Pele and Platini to go out there and play with the ball and take a closer look at it to see if it's a good one or bad one, and to stop talking about me."

Big one tonight!

I for one am hoping South Korea can pull another big upset to make Asia proud.

DAEHANMINGUK! OH! PILSEUNG KOREA!

Nice

haha - that is pretty funny re: Maradona.

I thought Messi was excellent in the first game - had excellent shooting control over the jubilani ball in the first half - he was denied by a goalkeeper making extrodinarily good saves.

In the second half he was wasteful with the 2 or 3 chances that fell his way but he still had an excellent game.

Unlike MOTM Ronaldo who tried too many tricks, gave the ball away frequently, dived.... yawn, and struggled to have an influence against a quick, strong team with attributes to easily nullify his greatest stregnth. his superiority as an athlete.

such attributes are near useless against messi because his superiority comes when in possession of the ball.

**** off Ronaldo. you w***er.

 

[Power King]

love or hate him, the thing i like about maradonna is that he is often the voice of the people

 

[Copulator]

Looking forward to the early game, unpredictable sth koreans vs under achieving argentina. should be a good contest, hopefully the koreans don't go too negative and play similarly to what the did against the greaseballs.

should hopefully be one of the better group games

BB's man Cha Du-Ri dropped. shame, he was a bit of a mentalist.

His new nickname perhaps? from now on everytime somebody wants to refer to Cristiano, his proper title should be placed in front of it, it's only fair and respectful.

MOTM Ronaldo it is

 

[Dagger5]

I prefer w***er Ronaldo, ladyboy, **** etc.
