Nigeria should win their match against Greece, which is their next match after tonight.

So it will end up as Nigeria vs South Korea for the 2nd spot on June 22nd. And that will be a real mouthwatering treat!

OH YES 1 - 0 TO ARGENTINA IN THE 7TH MINUTE!!!

Swear I keep getting goose pimples everytime Messi touches the ball. :o

Halftime score -

ARGENTINA - 1
(Heinze 7')

NIGERIA - 0

The score doesn't show how lively the first half was. Full marks to the Nigerian goalkeeper for keeping 3 thundering shots of Messi out. Argentina were like a battering ram, relentless in their attacks. Nigeria have been dominated so far.

The second half should be as speedy as the first.

FINAL SCORE -

ARGENTINA - 1
(Heinze 6')

NIGERIA - 0

A tale of two halves, really. Argentina didn't look nearly as menacing as they did in the first half. Messi kept pounding at the Nigerian goal and was denied again and again (really, hats off to the Nigerian goalkeeper for keeping those 7-8 shots out!).

But the second half clearly belonged to the Nigerians. Some of the crosses sent in front of the goal came periliously close to scoring the equaliser, but they missed the final finishing move. Nigeria must be ruing all the chances they missed.

Still, if you are an Argentina fan, you shouldn't be so confident about your team's progress. There is the spark there, but the team lacks a bit of cohesion and some solidity in the defenses. Veron was totally out of sorts in the second half, plenty of crosses and passes from him going embarrassingly away straight into the Nigerian player's feet.

Argentina have won, but they need to improve a lot if they want to progress further. Nigeria can keep their heads high for their nice show in this match, and think about winning their other two coming up.

Yep...you're right. A pretty disappointed showcase of Argentine football. Let's hope that Messi & Co. will find the net next time.

ENGLAND versus USA starts in about 7 minutes. Any predictions, guys?

I say 2-0 to England. (waiting for the flaming from the HDC Americans now) :D

ENGLAND ARE IN THE LEAD BABY!!!

1 - 0 in the 4th minute, courtesy STEVEN GERRARD!

England is playing very well. The best team of the World Cup so far.

Gerrard is everywhere.

Want to believe this?! But believe it!!!

USA EQUALISE IN THE 40TH MINUTE!!!

It's 1 - 1!

Dempsey's shot was collected very poorly by Green and it rolled into the goal!!

I would like to comment on how much of a retarded American I am - It took me like 5 MINUTES to figure out when those games are actually scheduled (damn yanks writing out their dates month/day/year)... :o

Anyway - I wish that Americans were better at soccer.
