2010 WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA

I was asked by a few people if i'd write a blog for the World Cup, from fans who will be watching every kick to people who have no interest in football but know it can't be avoided and could read what i put to help them through or at least make them smile

After Heinze's goal, Nigeria were always playing ketchup.....


So, day two and two games down, England vs USA to go.

First the South Korea vs Greece game, not a spectacle of football but was good to see the ever efficient Koreans get underway, but it has to be wondered if the Greeks had even prepared, they looked shattered (like their plates at a wedding) in the final 20 minutes and look to be going out without a whimper. How the Koreans will fare against the Argentinians and Nigerians in the next two games will be very interesting.


Finally, El Diego returned to the world Cup stage 16 years after leaving in disgrace as a player. Sporting a fine beard (how much does this man want to turn into Che Guevara?), his Argentinians coped well against a Nigeria side clearly lacking creativity, on another day it could of been different but Messi is a fine player but while Maradona's men dominated, they failed to convince ( I was lucky enough to watch this with a Nigerian friend, from not expecting a thing from the game to believing in the last 5 minutes they were destined to score shows the drama of the tournament), the Greeks shouldn't pose a threat but the South Koreans will be harder to break down in their next game.


Anyway, quick blog to bring things up to date before the Al Qaeda dream of USA vs England
