Group B - Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece

[The Sean]

TBF I thought the earlier group was pretty exciting for 70 mins, until France scored. It was only the last 20 mins or so where everyone was pretty much resigned to their fate.

 

[Scaly piscine]

It wasn't really on for the first half an hour, then it got interesting, then it fizzled out again.

This one will start out interesting.

 

[Pratters]

I don't think Greece will be able to defeat or draw with Argentina. South Korea v Nigeria will be the match to watch.

Yeah fair call, it had to work hard to move from "highly unlikely" to "wow, this might just happen."

Yer Argies not holding back tonight even with qualification virtually assured - Messi, Aguero, Milito and Rodriguez all starting.

 

[Pratters]

Argentina is a very attack minded team with a weak defense. The either win or lose. Hardly ever draw.

 

[Pratters]

Nigeria 1-0 up. What is the group scenario atm?

 

[The Sean]

If both games finished now, the Argies and Greece would go through. Were Argentina to score, Nigeria would actually go second on goal difference.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Be a travesty if Greece qualify; just a horrible, horrible team. Need an Argie goal and it ain't often I've typed that in anger.

 

[GIMH]

I hope you hit yourself with a hammer on the hands a few times after typing that

Flicking between both games and the cricket, getting on my own nerves tbh as it means I'm hardly seeing anything worthwhile.

 

[Pratters]

We need Brazil, Argentina, Spain and at least one African team to go till the semis and quarters respectively. As much as I like South Korea, I really want Nigeria to win and qualify. Will be very sad if they win but still can't go through because of Argentina not scoring.

Or a South Korea goal.

1-1, and the Koreans are back into second place in the group.

 

[Pratters]

****. Goal.

Decent chance of Brazil and Spain facing off in the next round

And we certainly don't need the Argies in the semis, **** that

 

[Pratters]

Decent chance of Brazil and Spain facing off in the next round

Would be an amazing match if they face each other, whenever in the tournament. I really rate both teams.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Or a South Korea goal.

1-1, and the Koreans are back into second place in the group.

Aye, yeah. Even better, tbh.

 

[Pratters]

First half over. Seems like best 4 teams from first two groups will go through as it stands.

 

[GIMH]

That is generally what happens

 

[Pratters]

Nah, there can be a fair few upsets. England may some how go to round 2 for example.

 

[Sir Alex]

Nah, there can be a fair few upsets. England may some how go to round 2 for example.

It is not an upset England are favorites to lift the cup. They will peak at the right time watch and see.

 

[GIMH]

You win this round Party man

Hope you're right
