Nice, dodgy own-goal! Well done, you lot must be so proud 
I'm just jealous, Scotland didn't make it hehehhhe. Well, actually, Jason Scotland plays for Trinidad & Tobago - have you seen the Irn-Bru advert of "Scotland on the team bus"?? Its just Jason Scotland on an empty coach! Its well funny hehehe
I'm supporting Togo this year, and obviously Brazil are my faves too! Had every Brazil top for the last 10 years.

Xugaa theres no way a team lyk Eng wudv have sat back on a 1-0 win n even without scoring a goal, n d risk of drawing to Para! They were out played in the 2nd half!

wasn't a dodgy own goal, he hardly touched it actually  after watching the highlights and replays a few times i would say it was an own goal though reckon it would have gone in anyway, just wider.
@786 - read my last post with a link on it, as i said it was not the players faults but a poor and boring manager's decision, sven is one great manager but he does confuse me sometimes lol

ARGENTINA 2 - 1 IVORY COAST
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/[....]all/world_cup_2006/4852660.stm
"Argentina held on for a precious victory in a classic end-to-end encounter, but Côte d’Ivoire were desperately unlucky not to claim in a point in a frenetic finish."

I see CIV doing well even though they in such a tough group, if they make it to the second round i definately see them going further!!
That was a strong Argentine team and they took the game to them!!
The Netherlands vs Serbia we'll see how they do...
And Angola vs Portugal, shame but I hope they play hard and manage a draw or something...

Yeah Ivory Coast were excellent and it was a shame that they did not get the equalizer they deserved, plus one of Argentina's goals was offside i think the commentators were saying and analysed.
Todays games (GMT +0 London Kickoff Times, UK Channels):
*Serbia & Montenegro vs Holland BBC 14:00
*Mexico vs Iran ITV 17:00
*Angola vs Portugal ITV 20:00
