Kevin's Watch

To save the generic football topic from becoming swamped, because a tournament of this scale dererves it's own topic, and to make the results easier to follow, I have created a thread specifically for the World Cup 2006.

So all World cup discussion in here please.

I will update the table below with the tournament's results as it progresses.

Come on England!

Didn't mean you had to unsticky Football. There is still domestic issues at hand. Oh and C'mon England!

GO ENGLAND!

What a nail biting last two minutes!!! I was dreading a repeat of the opening match of 2004 against France... luckily that did not happen, and England take 3 points!

England 1, Paraguay 0!

Trinidad 0, Sweden 0

Excellent news! This means after all teams in group B have played one game, the points are as follows:

England 3
Sweden 1
Trinidad 1
Paraguay 0

Muaha! Good start for England!

This was one helluva match!

I didn't see it, so I'll have to take your word for that! I watched the England match though.

Sweden match was great. Sweden should of won it with the amount of shots they had. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson should of had about 4 between them. Shaka Hislop just pulled off some great saves, proves he is still a great keeper. Shame John got sent off.

I gotta give T&T credit for that match. THey were a man short the entire second period and they kept the Sweedes from scoring.

Really excellent match.

Argentina 2, Ivory Coast 1

The last 20 minutes was immense! What a match! Argentina definitely look on form... but if the ivory coast play like that in their other matches I wouldn't rule them out just yet... ones to look out for perhaps.

Arsenal's Eboue and Kolo Toure again look good in defence. Drogba looks quite good. Crespo was good and Riquelme was the best player of the pitch. Three Chelsea Strikers on: Crespo, Drogba and Kalou. With the performances like that plus with Mikel Obi and Shevchenko being at Chelsea... competition is high. Don't like Sorin, drives and cries too much.

This was a good game, and Ivory Coast were a lot better than i expected. I still think they will be third in there group though.

I missed the England match as i was working, ill have to catch the highlights.

Watch all three games today, some great goals.

Yup, three good, entertaining games today.

Pity we're not at the party

Tim Cahill is great, hat second goal was amazing. Czechs did well against USA. Saw Italy game, looks good... Essien was best player, works soo hard.

The only access I have at the moment is to the BBC live coverage website... can't even listen to the games over the web, *pout*. Kept up with the South Korea - Togo and the France - Switzerland matches... The second one especially seemed very dull.

Some weird calls by the refs these past couple days. Is it always this bad?

To be honest, the standard of refereeing has been fairly good so far (apart from the France game tonight)

And to be fair to the refs, they have a lot of directives from FIFA over and above the actual rules of the game to contend with.

Looking forward to seeing Spain and the Ukraine join the party tomorrow.

The France game was dull and even the Brazil game wasnt that exciting.

Serbia Vs Netherlands 0:1
Mexico Vs Iran 3:1
Angola Vs Portugal 0:1
Italy Vs Ghana 2:0
United States Vs Czech Republic 0:3
Australia Vs Japan 3:1
Brazil Vs Croatia 1:0
South Korea Vs Togo 2:1
France Vs Switzerland 0:0

Some good matches. Bad start for the US.
