spain 3 - 1 slovenia
it was 52 years since we didnt start the champioship winning.
I think it was a great match for spain, nice play ... and maybe we were lucky that the referee gave us the penalty at the end, cos with the 2 - 1 we could have suffered a lot.

england must be carefull next match if they want to continue in the championship, but they still depend on themselves.
france is really in a delicated situation and they must show they real power if they want to continue, cos next match is against Uruguay both we 0 points so the one losing is out, and if they tye, they will both depend on other results for next match, so France better be carefull.
in the group of germany its clear they will pass, now lets see if camerun comes up to my expectations, but ireland are a tough team to beat and they can be one of the big surprises

I think you had bad luck with the penaltys (the referee maybe was a little with spain, I dont know what you think) but I also think spain deserved the victory...I think you can beat south africa and paraguay (thats my wish) good luck toltoyed!

yes you can be proud, as they fighted till the end... its true that none of the penalties should have be signed, so the penalty for spain was maybe a unfair... thats why I know that even the final score is 3 - 1 it was really hard to bit slovenia

Sweden England 1-1 is a fairly good result i think. Sweden should have done 2-1 , they owned the match at the second half but kind of chickened out the last minutes and played it safe, very irritating!!!.
Sometimes the will to win is not as big as the will to not wanna loose

Question for Sido/Phob /other Swedes here ...
I get the feeling Swedes think that both England AND Sweden are very good , and that they will do rather well now, especially v Nigeria...
Most English think Sweden were awful in the first half, and it was only England being awful that made Sweden look half good in the second....
I would bet on Nigeria qualifying with Argentina.. you heard it here first :)

No i don't agree , we (or atleast i) are well aware of swedens limitations.
But England are not that great imo, they are highly overated.

And sweden played great football the second half , theres no question about it.
When you say "england made sweden look good" you really sound like a sour looser eventhough the result was 1-1 ???

Dude , I'm relieved with the draw in the end.. our team & tactics were poor and Scandinavian teams ALWAYS give us a rough ride...
I am not a sore loser ! ,I said MOST people here think that, not me .. I thought Sweden played deep and England went at them for 30 minutes, then for the last 45 Sweden came out more and realised how vulnerable Engalnd can be.
I think its always better to play like you HAVE to score, and attack.... Any team that shows that desire and drive can do well and neither team did it. You are right, England ARE over-rated..I mean RONALDO even said in El Pais (Spanish paper) that his favourites for the Cup are Italy, France, Argentina and England. I don't think he was joking either ..... (?) :D

England will play better v Argentina than against Sweden , we really have so much to prove, I hope some more experienced players come in. Southgate and Sheringham for example would be useful.
Of course, England could improve and STILL lose 4-0 ... shit I hope that doesn't turn out to be prophetic... :/

unfortunately i only saw the highlights :/ (had to bring my flatmate to A&E with oesophageal reflux/distal oesophageal spasm) ... but i think the fact that they scored 3 is quite encouraging .. the fact that they can get it together, not just possession etc.
