They got a poxy header in the 93rd minute.

Oh you know it happened

But yeah we are terrible and there's 4 million of us here that know it deep down. Doesn't stop our delusional hope that we can get out of the group stage one bit mind you!

Particularly people who might get shot, or worse, if they play badly.

Probably right.

N Korea was awesome today. Overall I think they played better than Brazil. You got to think: Brazil is ranked 1st by FIFA, N Korea is ranked like 106. Final Score was 2-1 for Brazil. They stopped pretty much every shot by Brazil.

N Korea is definatly going to go far.

North Korea should be banned from the games. The govt is intentionally starving people to death over there.

I haven't been following the other pools that closely but how many points do Ireland have?....

They may have played more solidly but they didn't play for the full 93 minutes, we did and have the draw to show. They hit the dressing room after 87-88 minutes and paid the price.

There are some funny replies in here. Fun thread.

Checked in on the N.Korean v. Brazil game around the 50th minutes and was kinda shocked to see that it was still a tie at zero/zero.

Growing up in Los Angeles I was never really exposed to professional soccer/football. But I really do enjoy watching!

GER, BRA and ARG are looking doing great, can't wait to see Spain tomorrow. My money is on ARG!

North Korea played surprisingly well. Brazil was a little slow to start in the first half, but they turned it on in the 2nd.

I'm getting annoyed with these matches.

Switzerland have their whole team back.
They don't bother attacking.

You can't win if you can't score and it's inevitable that the other team will break through.
Brazil showed that with korea.
Netherlands showed it with denmark.
Spain is going to show it with Switzerland.

[James_Black]

you've got to be joking me...

1-0 to Switzerland

[JJLinn]

Uruguay is a real sleeper to win the whole thing now IMO, they're playing awesome.

[mcfc_nick]

Gelson Fernandes with the winning goal against the European champions, you can tell he used to play for us.

Now everybody has played their first games expect them to settle in and start playing well now leading to better games

[z.b.taylor11]

Go USA. even though their chances are slim...
