We are under full swing now and after a slow start with two draws, things are heating up. South Africa is proving itself as a worthy host with some magnificent stadiums, but the famous 'vuvuzela horns' are really getting old already! It feels like the TV is a beehive after a while!!
Cape Town - Polokwane
Port Elizabeth - Nelson Mandela
But the Koreans are reminding us why they reached the last 4 in 2002, with a solid win. Led from the front with a great individual effort for the second goal from the captain - Park Ji-sung.
The final whistle has just gone in the second game, giving Argentina their first 3 points. A somewhat underwhelming fixture with only a single goal from Heinze after 6 mins. At least his sponsors will be delighted:
Heinze Baked Beans!
Argentina showed some massive potential, especially with Messi creating a chance every time he got the ball. Maradona looked pretty good in his suit too!
Although Nigeria didn't go down easily, looking solid at the back and a few promising long range chances from Yakubu. Nigeria have proven themselves a force to be reckoned with and have a great chance of qualifying after the earlier Group B draw.
England take on the USA in their World Cup 2010 debut at 4:30am Australian time! I'd love to see the US get a win over Capello's boys, just imagine the headlines in the Star!
Update: England 1 - 1 USA. Delighted!
