Why is there no world cup thread ?

The Mexican keeper is earning his money today.  The guy has been fantastic during this first half and the main reason the game is still scoreless.

That was the most entertaining scoreless draw I've seen in a while.  I can't say enough about the Mexican keeper, Ochoa.  He was PHENOMENAL.  Brazil should, by all rights, have scored 3 or 4 goals, but Ochoa was up to the task every time.  That was the performance of the tourney so far.

    Impressed by mexico, especially Ochoa. In the end, they played more like a team than Brazil did. It's unfortunate croatia were robbed in the first game.

    I'm not surprised to see the game scoreless at the half, but I am surprised that the Koreans seemed the better side in the first 45.

    I am not that surprised, they may not be bursting with individual class, but they have a lot of technical skill and they play well as a team. They're a hard team to beat on their good day.

     

    Plus, Russia isn't that great.

    It's only a matter of time until either of the keepers lets a ball through, both look very shaky.

    Told you so.

    True, but I expected them to be better than this.

    Fair result for a draw.

    So who deserves the number two spot in this group...

    From what I saw today, Algeria.

    Memo Ochoa was a divine goal keeper! o:) Those saves were stellar.

     

    And it's not the first time, when that guy has his eyes on the ball, he's really on the ball.

    *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

     

    Russia & Korea at least tried to play football, Algeria just parked two buses in front of the goal.

    Also Ochoa made one good save, all other balls came straight at him.

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Maybe he has Jedi reflexes, he knows where he needs to be before it happens. :sorcerer:

    What a stunning goal by Cahill!

    Awesome goal, one of the best in the tournament. Game could stand to be more friendly, though. Bit too much pushing and pulling from both sides.

     

    EDIT: Wow, Oranje's defense is in shambles. Well, not entirely in shambles, but they have no grip on the midfield.
