Mexico did a good job to finish 3-1 just now. The Angola game tonight is sure going to be heated. Apparently the last time these guys met the game was abandoned early because one side got 4 red cards and the whole team got sent off!!

SHM - the soccer opera - I'd agree with that - so much flair with those yellows and prancing around.

ok ok
Im gonna be honest now

there's too much hype, and that's never good.
Braz/sil LOL is not invincible. Last time we had that kinda hype, we lost.
and I must confess Im not that confident about this one (please don't tell anyone,  people are invited to leave the country for less than this LOLOL)
but, seriously. I always liked England, and Germany. Great players.
and ...NO!!! we don't get bored for winning a lot LOL

but, its still my country, I love it. And maybe...maybe we will win this one too, and it should be great.
Go Brasil!!!
...or maybe not...it's ok, well, not ok, but LOL
as long as Argentina stays out

Argentina played awesome the other day, i hope England try and beat them if they play.

The USA are playing today against Czech Republic. I think you've got a tough match there, and I predict 1-1. 

But we shall see!

The USA are playing today against Japan. I think you've got a tough match there, and I predict 2-0 to Japan. 

But we shall see!

I say 2-1 japan, but i think USA will give them a hrd match.

Yeah, I got the game wrong!! USA are against the Czech Republic (1-1)- fairly even I guess. As for Japan vs Australia (1-1), again very even. As for Italy vs Ghana (3-1). Those are my predictions for the day!

lol doesn't matter...
1-1 Would be a good result, i'd be happy with that. But a win would of course be better. 

[the wigan warrior]

I really do hope Australia do well in this world cup... boost up football over there then cause i was watching sky sports news today and they said its allll rugby over there.

Half time...
Japan are up 1-0, controversial goal. Alot of people were "booing" but in my opinion the goally should have more power in the air then a striker and he should not have got pushed off that easily, but it was still a pretty dirty goal. If you get to see it let me know your opinion?

Full Time...
3-1 Australia 
Australias Goals scored in the 84th, 89th and 92nd minutes of the game

Australia deserved that win, i'm glad for them They outplayed Japan in the midfield and all of Japans players were in defence.

Australias 2nd and 3rd goals were great.      i just hope they do the same to brazil.
