Well now that Trinidad and Tobago forced a draw, it is now time for Argentina and Cote d'Ivoire (not Ivory Coast) to play.

Who will win?

I hope for a draw.

As an England fan I'm biased against the Argy-Bargy (Hand of God plus WC98...) but Drogba's an olympic-level diver so I can't say the IC are much cop for me either. I'll have to watch and see I guess.

Argies will probably take it hough not by a lot.

I think this is going to be a draw myself.

I'm seeing...

Argentina 2 - 0 Cote d'Ivoire

Wasn't Côte d'Ivoire who had a witch doctor performing a good luck ceremony?

I say a 2 - 1 victory for CIV.

You rippede my thread off. shame on you, corneliu.

I'm seeing...

Argentina 2 - 0 Cote d'Ivoire

Yes.

Though it is not possible to predict any winners with certainty.

If this World Cup was played three times, it could produce three different winners. Even as a rugby league fan rather than a footie fan; wonderful.

True, you can't. I mean Germany could beat Brazil to win the World Cup 2 times out of 3, you know? :)

Oh what the hell.. Argentina for the win.

Here's hoping we see some (real) goals today.

So far, Germany has scored more goals than the rest of participants all together.

This is going to change, though.

Cote d'Ivoire lost 2-1. A well played game from what I watched of it.

GO USA.

The Belgian ref stole two of our goals

Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa!
i hope the Czecks win

i hope the Czecks win

You do know that the USSR collapsed in the very early 90s right?

i hope the Czecks win

That's the spirit. If you hope really, really, REALLY hard maybe it will happen. :p

Really though, if the United States is at least as good as they were in '02 they will be moving on.

I am quite aware of that

But what does that statement have to do with this thread?

Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang, walla-walla bing bang.


I had to. :D

Apparently you don't know that the Czech Republic was never part of the USSR.

That was bloody brilliant! :D

As for the match, though, I really liked what I saw out of CIV. I think they actually outplayed Argentina for most of the match, except for a spell in the second half where they looked a bit lost, and they've got a pretty good chance to move on.

Although I did not have time to post it here, I promise I predicted the 2-1 win before the game. I swear.

I want to see Serbia and Montenegro play, as the nation they represent doesn't exist anymore...

That should be interesting....

So did I, but for Cotê d'Ivoire. Never mind.

It's not as though they didn't have the chances.

My conclusion from this game is that Holland should be very worried.

Absolutely, but I have to believe van Basten's boys'll be much better on defense than the Argentine squad.
