WC Matchday 12:

FRA 0-0 RSA
MEX 0-1 URU
GRE 0-3 ARG
NGA 2-1 KOR

Fra 1-2 rsa
mex 1-1 uru
gre 1-1 arg
nga 2-3 kor

Mexico better ******* go for the win, that's all I ask.

South, in order to qualify, need 3 unanswered goals, and need for Uruguay to get 2 unanswered of their own ... the hosts are sponsored by adidas, so impossible is nothing ...

Nigeria need to win 2-0, and need Argentina to win 2-0 ...

those are the score I'm hoping for ... if all that doesn't happen, then I just want to see Domenech dumped out, and Uruguay finish top ...

Fra - rsa 1:0
mex - uru 0:1
gre - arg 1:2
nga - kor 1:1

I just want to see how the France Soap Opera is going to turn out tomorrow...

Will the players turn out and play? will they just sit around and not do much on the field? Will Domenech actually turn out and coach??

Tune in to their game to find out..

hope good game tomorrow and Mexico goes all out to try to win, because uruguay will not because the draw benefits them....

Uru-Mex 0:0
Fra-Saf who gives a ****

Gre-Arg 1:0 ( Dumb Maradona lets play his second team)
Nig-Kor 2:1

Argentina always play to win, they will win with Messi as captain.

France are an utter disgrace, 150+ other countries would love to be in place of these hacks, I hope they get knocked the **** out. Mexico and Uruguay have shown a lot more class and quality football in 2 games than France has in 4 years.



How the French circus evolved over the past 2 years:

Euro 2008 Build up - Nasri sits in Henry's seat by accident. Henry gets in a huff. Nasri stands his ground, making him the first Frenchman to do so since Austerlitz. A grudge is born
Euro 2008- France vs. Italy - Domenech has to play Abidal at centerback because he left Mexes out of the squad because Mexes is a Scorpio. When Abidal is sent off, he has to bring on Boumsang. Also, brings on Nasri after injury only to sub him off after red card
Euro 2008 - France are knocked out, having only scored 1 goal
Post Euro 2008 - Domenech also proposes to his girlfriend on tv after getting knocked out, confirming stereotypes about the french being the best lovers
Post Euro 2008 - FFF doesn't fire him. On a completely unrelated note, Domenech runs academies that the FFF depend on
WC 2010 qualifiers - The team is very cliquish. Players from the Antilles, the Muslims, those who play in France, the old timers, and then those who play for bourdeax. No one really likes each other, and the bourdeax contigent and older players hate each other
WC 2010 qualifiers - Can't beat Romania (again), can only beat Lithuania 1-0 at both times of asking, can only beat the Faoroe Islands 1-0. Have to go to a playoff
WC 2010 qualifiers - The Hand of Frog. Henry hires someone to start his car from here on out.
WC 2010 qualifiers - Provisional squad named. Benzema and Nasri don't even make the 30 man squad
WC 2010 Preparations - A lot of players don't like Gourcoff because he's more of a theatre and opera guy than wag and nightclubber
WC 2010 Preparations - Anelka and Ribery don't like Gourcoff is in the first team, won't pass to him or let him take free kicks
WC 2010 Preparations - Group bullies Gourcoff for hair plugs (this might be a joke about Stephen Ireland)
WC 2010 Preparations - Gourcoff pulls an Ireland to get time off
WC 2010 Preparations - Anelka tries to stick up for Gourcoff, but Domenech ignores him. When Anelka is coming out as the paradigm of class, you know you're in trouble
WC 2010 France-Uruguay - After the 0-0 draw, Zidane goes on TV and slags off Domenech
WC 2010 France-Mexico - The older players ask Domenech to change to a 4-4-2 and to bring back Henry for the Mexico game. Domenech agrees, then finds out that Zidane was behind it.
WC 2010 France-Mexico - Anelka and Domenech have at it at half time
WC 2010 France-Mexico - Henry leads the other players to warm up behind the goal, to prevent Domenech from making a sub
WC 2010 France-Mexico - Gourcoff is shown cowering from Ribery during the post came press conference
WC 2010 - Story leaks out about the altercation between Anelka and Domenech
WC 2010 - Anelka gets sent home
WC 2010 - Evra demands mole be sent home for leaking story
WC 2010 - French players refuse to train in protest of Anelka's exclusion
WC 2010 - Domenech reveals that he has a problem convincing all the players to become available for the final group game
WC 2010 - Many high profile sponsors decide to walk away from the national team

France have very good team, butt coach is awfull! he even manages to fu*k up the whole national team stuff and players! disaster! the bad thing is that players will suffer because of him, and they already suffer... what a moron!

The atmosphere in the France dressing room must be really awkward, wonder how Domenech is gonna speak to the players when some of the players don't want to play at all.

Can't see Greece winning this, the only played better after Nigeria got the stupid sending off and they were torn apart by Korea.

Domenech lost control of the dressing room, and lost his grip on reality long ago, the FFF's insistence on keeping him in the job for 6 years is what defies belief.

Henry, Anelka, and a few of the old-timers who destablised the team are finished after the world cup. Laurent Blanc will come and take care of the rest of the trash.

France make six changes, Captain Patrice Evra dropped.

France lineup: Lloris, Sagna, Gallas, Squillaci, Clichy, Diarra (cap), Diaby, Gourcuff, Ribéry, Gignac, Cissé

They might make a game of it afterall.

Mexico-Uruguay is exciting end to end stuff, both are fighting to avoid Argentina. Would like to see the Mexicans do it for our own forum Mexicans here, Nimreitz and Run DMB.

red card... there goes france.

Oh man, a red card for France!

LOL at france what a shambolic team

OH SNAP!!!! 2-0 for South Africa

it's all falling apart now for the French

**** me.

Crazy day in the making Mexico losing means SA are thru as of right now if they score again and Uruguay score also....wow

Mexico is still through on goal difference, but that's pretty ****ty.

I knew France would roll over in this match.

Shameful display.

wont say a word as I have a horrible feeling England are going out lol

wow one goal back and time for a second.

Same ****, different World Cup.

Huge disappointment. Elimination against Argentina awaits...

GROUP A
1. Uruguay
2. Mexico

Mexico to play Argentina

South Africa is the first World Cup host to get eliminated from the group stage

Domenech refused to check hands with Alberto Parreira..!

South Africa is the first World Cup host to get eliminated from the group stage

RSA wasn't ready for the World Cup. Though they should move up in the rankings after beating France so its not a total loss.

RSA wasn't ready for the World Cup.
I don't think they will have a good team any soon .. it seems like they don't care about football & the empty seats prove it.

Another great victory for Uruguay, we keep on whit clean sheet and a great team work, sorry for Mexico but will have to match again with Argentina, wouldn't say we're candidate to the WC but watching Uruguay play it's clear to me that we can beat anyone.

"cuando juega la gloriosa celeste / la camiseta la transpira el corazón"

Same ****, different World Cup.

Huge disappointment. Elimination against Argentina awaits...you guys are lucky to get through ... Mphela's 2 shots off the woodwork -- 1 in the opening match at the death, and one today at the start of the 2nd half -- could have made a world of difference to the standings ...

real shame for South, coz it looked like the miracle scenario was on the cards at one point ... nevertheless, they acquitted themselves well, and one can only wonder what could have been ...

at least Uruguay finished top, and Luis got himself off the mark ...

What was with Domenech seemingly not wanting to shake Alberto Parreira's hand.

Don't quite understand why Guardado was taken off he seemed to be the best Mexican player in the 1st half.

Nigeria need to win 2-0, and need Argentina to win 2-0 ...

i don't know if i'm missing something, but for me nigeria 1-0 s. korea and argentina 1-0 greece qualifies argentina and nigeria.

nigeria is damn lucky to have such opportunity after losing two matches.

Nigeria need to win 1-0 & Argentina beat Greece 1-0

What was with Domenech seemingly not wanting to shake Alberto Parreira's hand.

Alberto Parreira mentioned: "Domenech told me he didn't like what I said about Demonech-Anelka problem"

Greece sucks....they need to win and are playing defesive......amazing.....anyway I rather see Nigeria go thru or even Korea

They did the same in 2004 & won Euro 2004..

How's Messi doing ? I'm watching Nigeria vs. Korea

I hope Greece don't make it to the next round and Argentina win this match, horrible negative football.

South Korea scores ....

Nigeria 1-2 South Korea
Park Chu Young

Messi aint doing much every time he touches the ball 10 players crowd around him....just negative tactis from the greeks....

Quick update for you guys; England are 125/4, chasing Australia's total of 267 with 24 overs to go.

The Argentina game has been a borefest thanks to Rehhagel's men, even cricket is looking good in comparison.

Being swamped by Greek defenders, still forced a couple of top notch saves from the Greek keeper.

Argentina's reserve forwards are better on paper than the regular strikers, but having problems so far getting through the opponents bus.

On the other hand, Argentina's defence is a joke, Samaras on his own is causing all sorts of havoc, four defenders can't even cut out long balls to a single striker.

Sounds like Korea-Nigeria is a much better game.

Greek are out ... they need to beat Argentina 2-0 to qualify

Thank you very much for the updates.

I can't imagine how did he miss that..!!!!!!
Yakubu missed the easiest chance in history .. 4 yards away from the goal line .. alone .. no gk .. no defenders .. controlling the ball & he missed it..!!!!

You gotta watch it guys

GOAL
Nigeria 2-2 South Korea
Yakubu (P)

Dream over for Greece, Martin Demichelis slots the ball into the back of the net from a corner. No way back now.

Hope S.Korea can hold in the other game, Asia needs a good result after last night's 7-0 disaster.

Gooooaaaal Argentina, Martin Palermo adds the second, Greek defence is well and truly falling apart.

Argentina's first goal involved a handball, the ball ricochet off Diego Milito's hand into Demichelis's path, but doubt anyone cares now.

The better two teams of the group are through.

GROUP B
1. Argentina
2. South Korea

Uruguay v South Korea
Argentina v Mexico

Nigeria v Korea .. one of the best matches in the tournament.

I'm glad Greece are out. They were so annoying to watch with their negative tactics..

I guess Greece's 9-0-1 formation didn't work. Nice to see Palermo scoring still remember him missing a hat-trick of penalties at the Copa America.

Yakubu's open goal miss is one for the blooper reel.

I'm glad Greece are out. They were so annoying to watch with their negative tactics..
Most their ageing squad won't make it to another tournament, so that might be the last we'll see of Greece for some time.
Big question now is who gets Rehhagel? Maybe send him to England, they can't get any worse atm.

"good" night!!!

I love the suggestion that he's handed across like some sort of inheritance or heirloom :D

You gotta watch it guysunbelievable miss ... and all the more tragic that it has cost Nigeria a place in the 2nd round ... Martins then had a chance to set things right, but he put it wide too ... no one to blame but themselves, Nigeria ... one more African team going down fighting, but down nonetheless ... looks like it'll be at most 1 that will progress ... again, tragic ...

I think he'll retire, or stay on with Greece.

I was surprised to see such a tepid and uninspired outing from Mexico considering how much was riding on that game.

Would you rather face A) Argentina or B) South Korea/Nigeria/Greece?

Hmmm, let me think about that one...

You know they want revenge from that last outing by Argentina.. so they lost on purpose so they can have that chance. ;)

Well they could have even tied and they'd still get the chance for that revenge.

I wish that were true, but sadly Mexico can't string two good games together to save their lives. It's pathetic. It doesn't help when Argentina's attack looks like the most dangerous thus far. :facepalm:

I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Otto Rehhagel calls it quits, Greece replace him with PAOK coach Fernando Santos.

Meanwhile, 60 million French people wish Domenech did the same in 2006.
