2010 FIFA World Cup

[Who]

I missed the Spain-Switzerland game but I heard that Fernando Torres looked unfit and that Iniesta absence through injury has hurt his form.

Spain can win without Iniesta but I don't think they have a hope in hell of winning without Torres.

If accurate, this is a very bad sign for Spain's hopes of winning the tournament.

[ederson]

You heard right about Tores. He didn`t look confortable. He needs play time.

people are going crazy here... (i'm from switzerland)
 
Nobody expected switzerland to win this game!

Even the so called "believers" felt like this game was only about not getting embarrassed in order to have a shot at beating chile and honduras and get the 2nd place in this group...

First real upset of the world cup!

Congrats, that's a huge surprise. Now we have a possible Brazil - Spain matchup in the next round.

I am Brazilian and I am very worried about that.  Spain can choke like in the past, but I would much rather see Spain on a later round than right in the beginning.  We'll see how Switzerland does against Chile (who played well) and Honduras (whose goalie had the best save of the tournament).

I would be worried too. Till then, maybe Torres and Iniesta will look better and I don't know about Cesc's condition, but if he's fit, del Bosque should use him.

I'm glad Spain lost.

I'm glad Spain lost.

Me too, but that's because i was rooting for my country to do good.

I actually really like the spanish team and their style of play...

Hopefully they'll look better in the next games!

I tend to root for the underdog, that's my reasoning.

[Who]

South Korea have had the wind knocked out of them.

Their level of effort since that second goal has been pathetic.

[ederson]

Messi`s been so unlucky in this tournament. He is the only star that realy shines in the WC

IMHO S Korea is nothing more than average. The awful performance we put in the first game made them look much better than they are in reality

[Who]

Hopefully that scrappy goal will give Korea a shot of life heading into the second half.

[ederson]

HUGE chance for korea !!!!

[Who]

HUGE chance for korea !!!!

Ohh, beautiful breakaway by Korea ... lousy finish though.

Now, Heinze wastes a point blank header from a corner. Looks like we'll see another goal or two.

[celticmaestro]

Good Argentine performance, but they are weak defensively which is why I don't think they'll win the World Cup. No Cambiasso or Zanetti will come back to haunt Maradona.

[Amonkey]

I was hoping that my African brothers would come out with a win, but Greece has made a great comeback.  If Nigeria loses this game, then they are done.  I think these 2 goals are the first Greece has scored in a WC.

[ederson]

First goals , first points , first win.

Also first game in this WC with a total come back.

We have better team than we showed at the first game. Unfortunately the 0-2 against Korea forces us to look for a point against Argentina (i can`t see that happening).

I think Nigeria is still in for the second place. If the win Korea and Argentina beats Greece there will be 3 teams with 3 points.
