Nigeria V. Argentina at the Historical 5 Point
Comments are closed.
OK, we’re fucked. We can’t get it to work. The event won’t “go live”. It’s not my software, I don’t know how it works.
So we’ll do it in comments.
Argentina look totally dominant but they’re so open at the back Nigeria could take a shock goal here if they can get there. The Argies are supposed to be so tough on defense, but that’s just Mascherano in the back holding midfield; the actual backs are not good. Heinze is the oldest 32 on earth. Nice goal from him, though.
Cheers to the 5 Point, though — their drinks really are the stiffest in town. My rum ‘n’ coffee is half rum.
But Nigeria’s defense is nonexistent, so Argentina is probably going to score before Nigeria can take advantage. Martins on; plays for Wolfsburg.
Maybe the charm the last time was having Mrs. Fnarf there for body shots.
Tevez is so awesome. So good-looking too.
Take my word for it — I had many, many excellent comments on the live thingie.You’ll just never see them.
Odenwingie shows something for Nigeria finally. They’re one quick break from equalizing.
Argentina looked awful in the backfield, but I think Messi is going to have some nightmares about the Nigerian goalie. He saved about 3 or 4 Messi goals.
Messi= still best in the world.
Maradona will prove the world wrong.
Arriba Argentina! Ok off to Neumos to watch US take care of the limeys. I hate Donovan but… GO USA!
I’ll root for the USA as long as there’s only two Spurs on the field. If they bring in Dawson or Crouchie, I’m switching sides. And I hope Lennon scores. Not Rooney. Certainly not Heskey, who couldn’t score in an afternoon of empty nets.
I’m sick of these dipshit commentators talking about Ledley King like he’s some unknown mystery. He’s played 250 games for Spurs, and he’s one of the best defenders in the world when his knees work (which isn’t often, alas; he has no cartilage left). He’s the best center back in England. He’s BETTER than John Terry, by a mile. And he’s been capped for England twenty times, so he’s not a fucking mystery.
Ruud Gullit was a great player but he’s dumb.
