Group C: Argentina, Cote d'Ivoire, Serbia & Montenegro, Holland - Page 12

Mildly disappointing thus far. Has the air of a glorified friendly about it. Perhaps I was expecting too much.

Argies been comfortably the better team tho.

Bloody Ivory Coast. Have to concede two early goals in every match they play, as a rule. Get up.

Argentina/Holland game isn't particularly special, but there's been some interesting pieces of play. Argentina look a bit more likely to score.

It's been a stroll for both sides - just sparring really.

Interesting fact from the BBC

"55 mins: It is illegal to call the Ivory Coast the Ivory Coast in the Ivory Coast. "

didn't know that

superkingdave · 21-06-2006, 02:44 PM

Looks like Faaip's in the money, unless Argies can pull something out of the fire

FaaipDeOiad · 21-06-2006, 02:52 PM

How about that Ivory Coast eh? What a side.

Pedro Delgado · 21-06-2006, 02:52 PM

Ho hum. Needed an early goal there really. Both sides happy to play out the draw to a certain extent.

So much for my perceived thought that Serbia can defend.

(Jumping the gun) So Holland or Portugal in the quarters, be interesting.
