So, 2nd round ends and my conclusion is:

is too early to reach any conclusion \o/

Tunisia exposed the spanish problems there, still a good result for Spain but it was not the same team that we saw versus Ukraine.

So, yes, Argentina is probably the team with the best momentum cause of that crushing victory, but i can't say i'm convinced yet.

When we reach the knockout anything can happen in this World Cup.

And I still have total faith that we'll have a german or italian (although that USA performance made me think twice) victory in the end.

They played interesting footy occasionally :)

Germany owned, I agree..

Too bad T&T will be out :( (it's currently 1-1 in Swe vs Eng, and 1-0 in Par vs T&T).
How many Dutch coaches is that out?

Trinidad and Tobago has a Dutch coach.. (Leo Legchopper)
South Korea has a Dutch coach.. (Dick Advocaat)
and Australia has one too o_O (Guus Hiddink).

A shoddy performance from England, especially from the defence. On the plus side we've lost our only goal scorer...oh wait.

That was unlucky for Owen , and playing all of the three that were booked ... very worrying ^^

The defence was poor from the boys during most the second half, hopefully they can sort that out for the next match !

Credit where it's due though, the aim was to win the group , beating Sweden would have just been a nice added bonus ;)

Great goal from Joe Cole, but the 2nd swedish was the best moment of the match, really. :P

was a beautiful game anyway
but now Sweden's chances are, unfortunately, very small since they will have to face Germany .. too bad

PS: Crouch should learn from Gerrard how to head the ball properly.
