I hope they'll play two different sets of players, otherwise that's just idiotic.

WC2006 Moments: Gol di Grosso- Ecstasy and Heartbreak
WC2010 Profiles: Ivory Coast- Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it'd be this hard

Did Cameroon look terrible due to their own incompetence or because Portugal was playing well?Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Walcott is a useless headless chicken. The guy had no business being on England's WC squad. He relies way too much on his speed and has not improved much as a player in the last few years.
Cameroon look terrible against Portugal. Portugal should be up by multiple goals but Kameni has made some good saves. Samuel Eto'o was sent off thanks to some BS decision by the ref.
Ghana are in a defensive shell defending with 9 men while the Netherlands look like a well-oiled machine. Ghana once again are showing their inability to create good offensive chances. I wonder what they're going to do against the strong German and Serbian defences.
At this point, I'd be surprised if Ghana got anymore than a point in South Africa.Originally Posted by faithlesshox
Netherlands - Ghana
4 - 1
Both teams played their starters for the WC pretty much.
The Netherlands looked pretty sharp, scoring easily against a very defensive team VdVaart definitly showed why he should be a starter. The defensive lap was hysterical though!
Ghana lacks talent imo, not going to make it out of their pool.
WC2010 Profiles: United States- Ready to swim with the big fish, boys?
France dont need Benzema, what they need is a proper coach. Unfortunately for France fans, they'll have to wait until after the WC for Laurent Blanc...until then they'll watch Raymond Dummynech sabotage their WC chances. This idiot has Govou starting, Malouda as a left-sided central midfielder, Gourcuff dropping back into CM, etc etc. His squad selection is terrible and every match is a struggle for France as a result. Give any decent manager this kind of talent and they'd be legitimate WC contenders. Give this kind of talent to Dummynech and it's an accomplishment for them to advance out of the group stage. It'd make more sense to predict Mexico/Uruguay/South Africa to advance ahead of France, given that those 3 teams have prepared well up to this point however given the talent France have, they should advance out of their group in spite of Dummynech's craziness.Originally Posted by NjCollector
Benzema should be playing. France has messed up, even if he didn't do well in RM, that is still another player they can use in the next worldcup.
Very, very aggravated at this french team, mediocre at best.
Based on Anelka's performance today, I'm gonna go ahead and say Benzema would've been a huge help. Anelka is selfish and over-dribbles consistently. No guarantee that Benzema would've been on the field had he made the squad, but he would've been a huge upgrade if he was. @#($ Anelka for real. Scrub.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
