World Cup Day 12 [Mex/Uru - Fra/SAf - Arg/Gre - SKo/Nig]

[Shaun]

Two groups a day for the rest of the week will be finishing their chances and to make it even tenser, the games will be played at exactly the same time :shocked:

I'm not sure whether the France/South Africa game is on TV or not - both are billed on the BBC website as 3pm "on ITV" - so I assume one is on ITV1, the other on ITV2/3/4.

Later on at 7:30, Argentina v Greece is on BBC1, South Korea v Nigeria is on BBC3.

[Big Brother Fan]

I would presume France vs South Africa is on. Both teams have alot of expectation on their shoulders and could be going out today.

[Shaun]

No, Nathan :nono:

[GiRTh]

Matches start at 3.00pm. Both on at the same time.

[Shaun]

-reckons Ireland is pretty ****ing jubilant right now-

[Nemo123]

Not at all. Get no joy out of seeing this.

[King Gizzard]

Never ever a red card

[MissKittyFantastico]

I did say that SA would more than likely beat France today, not looking good at all for them

[Nemo123]

I read comments from French people about the infamous hb, and they we pretty much ashamed. So, it ended there for me.

[KG.]

Well, I'm glad I took Gourcuff out of my team for Khedira!

[Shaun]

Would LOL if that wasn't offside.

France's attitude this tournament has been disgusting. They deserve to lose.

[Nemo123]

Oi vey! Uruguay putting the cat among the pigeons.

[KG.]

Arghhh, I didn't want Uruguay to get the goal.

I'm in two minds about who I want to go through from this group now, I really want Mexico to go through because I have them in a sweepstake, but I really want to see South Africa make it through aswell. :(

[Nemo123]

Y'know, bet we see the French starting to try now.

[setanta]

-reckons Ireland is pretty ****ing jubilant right now-

Not really. Feel sadder that we're not there to be honest with you.

[setanta]

Anyway, this will be a great second half. Great for the tournament too.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I want Mexico and SA to make it through.

[Nemo123]

Uruguay nearly got a second.

[Shaun]

aw :(

what's the point? they'll never go through. and don't deserve to. let South Africa win :(

[this'll be the first time ever that the hosting nation doesn't progress to the second round]

[KG.]

Can't stand France.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Hope Mexico get through!

[MissKittyFantastico]

That's it, France is out along with SA.

[setanta]

Sad for the host nation exiting but I have a soft spot for Mexico and hope they give Argentina a good old fight. Remember, Rodriquez's wonder strike knocked them out four years ago so they'll be wanting revenge.

[Nemo123]

Could Uruguay win the World Cup?

[Shaun]

what a ****ing pathetic man

[KG.]

Raymond Domenech is a disgrace to the game, needs shooting.

[setanta]

Not shaking hands with the SA manager? F£cking madness. The lad has lost the plot.

[Mike]

The French got what they deserved - simply not good enough. Domenech summed it all up refusing to shake Parreira's hand - What a disgrace.

[Nemo123]

It probably had to do with Pareira shouting for Gourcuff to be sent off.

[setanta]

Ah, sure that's part of the game Nemo and the ref was going to send him off anyway. It was a very foolish thing to do.

[Kerry]

Feel so bad for South Africa. What bloody happy souls they are regardless too.

As for France and their whole attitude. Mind you their manager, not even shaking hands at the end. What a dick

[GiRTh]

I'd love it if Greece beat Argentina

[Kerry]

Them pronouncing the Greek names is making me laugh.

[Shaun]

There's probably more syllables in the Greek squad than there's been goals in this tournament.

[Kerry]

There's probably more syllables in the Greek squad than there's been goals in this tournament.

By the time they've said each name four other players have touched the ball

[Kerry]

Dot Brannings just popped into my mind "Mr Oppydoppy..."

[Kerry]

Oooh I got South Korea in the sweespstake

[setanta]

That miss from Yakubu has to be one of the worst I've ever seen.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Feed the Yak and he will score...or not. Seriously shocking :laugh:

So that's France, S.Africa, Greece and Nigeria out.

I'm rooting for England (obv) and USA to do the business tomorrow.

[Shaun]

So that's Argentina vs. Mexico and South Korea vs. Uruguay?

[MissKittyFantastico]

Yep that's right Shaun.

[King Gizzard]

And we would play, if we got through, Uruguay or S.Korea in the quarters

If thats not an incentive then i don't know what is

[MissKittyFantastico]

Could we meet Ghana in the next round Nate? I'm no good at working this **** out lol

[King Gizzard]

Ghana or Germany, whoever finishes 2nd

[setanta]

Nah, I have a funny feeling if you get through you'll come second so you'll be on the other end of the draw, with Argentina being your probable opponents in the quarter finals.

[Nemo123]

Ghana or Germany, whoever finishes 2nd

What he said^

Be ****ing brilliant!

I do so hope England don't go out.

[Shaun]

I have a feeling Serbia will qualify over Ghana

[GiRTh]

What the hell is going with the stupid features on Colin Murrays round up show? Its like all TV companies think they need to 'entertain' the viewers every single damned second with inane snippets. Why cant they just show us the game and give us some analysis? Get rid of the dancers, the singers and any other bollox that they think we need to keep us interested.

[MissKittyFantastico]

England v Ghana or Germany...both of those games could be epic.

I'm nervous about tomorrow though, I can't lie.

[setanta]

What he said^

Be ****ing brilliant!

I do so hope England don't go out.

You're right. Who gives a feck who they get in the Quarters... chances are they'll get a rotten second round draw.

[setanta]

RAYMOND DOMENECH saw France humiliated in South Africa but insisted: This side will go far!

The guys has really lost the plot.
