Yes the new ball thing the goal keepers keeps saying it is like a beach ball, but my opinion is that maybe they are just not used to playing with such ball because if you have noticed almost all the time the ball is stopped and someone kicks it, it goes way up the effect it takes it weird.
It's because the new balls are a lot less thick -from what I've heard.

If Paraguay makes it past the group stage, they'll most likely play Japan or Netherlands.

I was really impressed with North Korea's playing today! It was amazing. Even though they were facing Brazil, the focus was too much on defense I think. Still, they really did not make it easy for Brazil. Brazil is ranked 2nd in the world and PRK something like 105?? Anyone else think that's crazy? I think the announcer mentioned it was some kind of record, like the lowest world ranked team in the World Cup since 1992? It was such a close match too.
To answer your question, I think it will be a tie. France has a very poor team this year.
Re: the games today, I'm very pleased with the results of Slovakia vs. New Zealand. All four teams in Italy's group are now tied 1-1-1-1. Portugal's game was a bore but I'm surprised that it was a tie - to the Ivory Coast. Portugal is supposed to be a top contender in this World Cup; they're certainly not living up to that reputation. With the third game, it was very interesting at times. I gotta say - those North Koreans really surprised me. They had an absolutely phenomenal defense; they played very well. While Brazil won, N. Korea still scored a goal against them. Given that Brazil is supposed to be ranked #1 and N. Korea #105, it's surprising to see the outcome of that game.
I felt so sorry for Rob Green last night; he's such a babe. :P
It was so frustrating, England had sooo many chances to score.
My friend i was watching the match with said that she felt sorry for him but i'm sorry but it's his job. Playing for England he's meant to be one of the best goal keepers in the world. But to be honest it wasn't just that mistake that he made. Pretty sure it was in the second half but he almost made another easy mistake. It was only a fluke that he ended up saving it. I think if I was him and I'd missed it I'd be on the first flight home!
I went to Wales this weekend and oh my gosh, as soon as we walked into the pub on the first day we got there until we left we were completely slated. Our team is pretty shocking this year. But blah. i love the World cup.
I have no voice left México won we have been celebrating all day already like if we had just won the world cup
I'll upload a picture when my friend uploads them
Everyone is born right-handed. Only the greatest overcome it.
What's happening England?!!! I thought my exams were boring

I didn't see any games today but I was listening in the radio and the England game seemed boarding, I thought the USA was going to lose but they did pick it up in the 2nd half. This is what México looks like when we beat France.

Ooh thankyou, muchly appreciated. Oh, not as bad as I thought. Lets just hope England beat Slovenia!!
Apparently "Anyone But England" t-shirts up here in Scotland have been labelled as racist. Well, damn.
Even I think that's an overreaction and I'm English. Although from what I gather they are not racist but likely to incite racial hatred. It's important to remember that a lot of people get stupidly patriotic for these 4 weeks
New Zealand have just took the lead against Italy in the 7th minute!

Yeah, but they certainly are more interesting than England (apologies for the heresy)

Italia against NZ what a game if it hadn't been for the penalty NZ would of rocked the whole game. Right know Brazil is kicking ass. So many yellow cards and violance, that is real football.

Couldn't agree more although Kaka should not have received that second yellow card.
Interesting match between Spain and Honduras.
Now hopefully my hay-fever clears up, and Honduras scores to make the match even more interesting

Lol, I'll never get to see my N. Korea vs S. Korea final now xD
Haha that would be awesome.
Though for my S. Korean friends sake (who will be conscripted in the army soon), I'm glad the North got thrashed. That's for brainwashing, and murdering innocent people Kim Jong-il. No more cognac for you mate
