World Cup Game #4

Argentina ran true to form in major tournaments by looking very threatening but just failing to really ignite in their first game. Still Messi was in form ominous enough to give anyone pause for thought. They came away with the result, 1-0 over Nigeria, which is the vital step, I guess.

World Cup Game #5

England managed to look truly gallant whilst never really getting going. It must be galling for Gerrard, Lampard and Terry to have eight passengers riding their coat-tails. I mean, HESKEY, seriously? Still, the US have to be happy with a 1-1 draw, given how dire their first 20-25 minutes were. Donovan and Howard were both inspiring for the US too.
