<font color="ff0000">My observation:</font> If Argentina goes thru early this morning.. they have to be supremely wary of the German's early aggressive and fast paced play and not to concede goals to the Germans. If they can do that and play their usual slow and easy game against the Germans.. Argentina CAN score a goal or 2 against the Germans to see them off the World Cup.
 
Next set of predictions (updated)

Argentina - Mexico
1x2: Argentina win
1/2goal: Argentina -1.5goals
HT/FT: HH
TG: 3 and 4 goals
ES: 3-0 and 4-0

<font color="0000ff">tomorrow's matches</font>

Portugal - Holland
1x2: Draw
1/2goal: Portugal +1.5goals
HT/FT: DD and DA
TG: 0 and 2 goals
ES: 0-0 and 1-1

Predictions bf:

Ecuador - England <font color="ff0000">(updated)</font>
1x2: England win
1/2goal: Ecuador +1.5goal
HT/FT: DD and DA
TG: 2 and 3 goals
ES: 1-1 and 1-2
 
Mexico will be without their main striker, who's out of an injury.. perhaps Argentina might be able to capitalize on it and score a convincing victory..
 
Marquez was unmarked from a low overhead cross from Mendez at the right goal post.. Marquez scored with his right foot at the left goal post.. absolutely stunning goal!!!
 
CRESPO CLAIMS AN OWN GOAL FROM BORGHETTI AND EQUALIZES!!! 10'

<font color="ff0000">Argentina 1 - 1 Mexico
Marquez 5', Borgetti (og) 10'</font>
 
Saviola's pretty quiet at the right flanks.. he should be placed at the left flank to perform his best..

Borgetti placed a dangerous shot towards goal but saved!! 25' corner kick for mexico..
 
The early scoring for Mexico shows a bad sign for Argentina if they play Germany, who are even deadlier than Mexico at the opening mins of the game.
 
Seems like Mexico is not bad either.. they are playing with confidence and are not afraid of Argentina.. their blocking of Argentina's attacks are effective so far.. 36'
 
<font color="ff0000">My observance:</font> Mexico is manmarking the argentinians.. the argentinians are switching flanks with midfield, from left to right and vice versa.. causing all sorts of trouble.. yet Mexico are focused on their passes.. Mexico is relying on opportunities to score.

If Mexico can hold them out to a draw and draw again into extra time, they will not win against the penalty specialists of argentina..
 
Argentina should have got a <font color="ff0000">red card</font> in the dying mins with the goalie a slip of a pass.. but ref is kelong and lenient to give Heinze a yellow card instead. 46' Heinze was the last man.
 
Argentina - Mexico

<font color="ff0000">my observation:</font> I realize South American countries gameplay is really different from european gameplay, as are also different from north american and asian countries. so far the closest fight and exciting gameplays are usually between european v south american teams.
 
walau... i long time nvr come in, here become world cup reporting thread liao.. haha...

SDL, won a lot $$ hah.. keke...

how's everyone? how's berry &amp; her BB? boy or gal? :D
 
Anyway.. predictions bf:

Portugal - Holland
1x2: Draw
1/2goal: Portugal +1.5goals
HT/FT: DD and DA
TG: 0 and 2 goals
ES: 0-0 and 1-1

England - Ecuador
1x2: England win
1/2goal: Ecuador +1.5goal
HT/FT: DD and DH
TG: 2 and 3 goals
ES: 2-1 and 1-1
 
english have the slight edge over ecuador.. and most likely it might be a stalemate going into extra time like the argentina match..
 
keke.. heng argentina match I din buy.. I was way off for my predictions. I bought exact score for germany.. exactly the scores I predicted..
 
almost gave me a wrenching time till full time.. cuz I bought 2-0.. and germany scored 2 goals in the first 11 mins.. then I thought I will lose when sweden got a penalty.. and heng heng again Larsson missed..
