If the weather is really hot…Togo maybe able to use that to their advantage against Korea. But Korea may excel in passing and shooting. From what I see in their current squad is that they are the only nation to have more marksmen in their team than any other WC team. Which makes them have a good chance to shoot like cannons at the net with precision from long distances.

My prediction stands at 2-1 Korea. If Togo plays this smart and uses that weather as a wild card.

Lets hope lots of cold beer and drinks are handed out during the game for the fans, wouldn’t do FIFA well to have 60,000 unconscious fans! :D

3-1 South Korea

3:0 South Korea. Underdog will struggle today.

go go go Korea!!! i think they going to win 2-0 tonight….

good luck and also try your best. Saraheyo Korea!!!

40 more minutes the game will start. For all korean fans, please pray and wish them good luck…..

Hey you….. let fire up the heat…. World Cup Fever here….

No matter who going to win, we should having fun here…. 4 years one time… so we should enjoy this World Cup…

Togo players may want to prove their worth after all the news about their money demand. And Koreans will try to prove that their advance to the semifinal on home soil four years ago was more than luck and ref’s favor. I guess this will be a great game people.

My father is my boss at work so looks like I am in the clear. I am just nervous about these bootleg streams having viruses so I just rely on this blog instead of watching. I only catch maybe 20 minutes of actual play time on tv after work. It sucks but at least this blog is here.

20 minutes to go and hardly anyone about on the boards…hmmm…I think they’re waiting for the Brazilian game?

3-1 South Korea, although they suffered the same score to the last african team they played.

I support Korean, by the ways, but I am also a strong supporter of fair play and great football. GO K-O-R-E-A.

Mike, I just checked out the page linked to your name. Congratulations on being engaged!

If you have any pictures from watching the games in Argentina, send them in to the World Cup Blog Photo and video contest, if they’re good shots you stand a pretty decent chance of winning some sweet gear.

http://www.a7lakalam.com/worldcup2006/live.htm

Brandon, have you tried this? I’ve used it for the last two days and it worked. But for some reason I’m not getting anything. It’s a live stream right from the site except I think either my server is messed up or there is problems on the website streaming the video.

Ali Siddiqui,

Yes I tried using that site but all 4 were not working.

Hmmm, I guess there goes my chance of seeing the game live today. Just the day when Brazil will be making their debue…the World is cruel.

Peter, I’ll try to take some shots on Friday. Argentina plays at 10am so I’m really hoping the boss brings a TV in or I just may come down with a nasty bug or something that morning :-)

I wonder if anyone here has seen those U2 ads about how in these few days the worlds businesses suffers millions of dollars of revenue lost due to employees calling in “sick”. It’s quite a funny commercial really.

Interesting. The pundits on BBC think Togo is going to win this game.

I also wonder how the Togo players will do especially with their coach up and leaving so suddenly. They certainly need some Togo fans to give them a morale boost.

It’s pretty sweet here. Life revolves around the Cup and when Argentina plays EVERYTHING shuts down.

I wonder if Park Ji-Sung is match fit. He seems like he’s the player that will cause the most damage.

Mike, that is awesome. I wish I was living somewhere like that. Everything stopping for the WC. From what I hear nations around the world report that even crime takes a dive during these games. :D

Brandon, I use a combo of this blog and ESPN’s gamecast. That way I get the play by play and the color commentary. Guys, keep up the good work with the blog!!

so….togo’s coach left because he didnt get enough money?

WOW, Adebayor is such a towering figure. Expect a lot of crosses coming in for him.

Ali, yeah…it is nice not to have to “share” coverage of the NBA finals, NHL finals, baseball and steroids, etc. during this time. Don’t get me wrong…I love all sports but nothing compares to the WC.

I think Nick it was more of a dispute between those who were paying the players and how the players were not being given their bonuses. The coach up and left in protest to this which he saw was unfair to the players. News has it the President of Togo is pissed off at the sponsors and payers for this debacle.

oh, and Peter, thanks for the congratulations!…forgot to put that in my comment

Mike, I guess you may still remember the inane comments from the commentators in the sports networks back in the US? Aw jeez! It’s the same way up here in Canada except…we get Tim Horton’s commercials every 5 minutes!!

Is there a way to have this page autorefresh every 30 seconds or so or do you just have to keep clicking refresh?

I can’t stand to watch soccer in American English (never watched in Canada so I dont really know) They call it so slowly and have no clue what they are talking about. Spanish is much more exciting.

Oh Mike your engaged! I just clicked on your link. Congratulations!

And unfortunately…no way to refresh the page automatically…yet. *hint hint WCB hint hint* :D

Keep hitting that F5!

Korea most probly will win but it could be a draw too. Korea has not been as great as it used to be.

I get what you mean the Spanish or Latino commentators. My brother in law is Ecuadorian so whenever I visited him in Philly and watched games with him…the announcer would be going a mile a minute but I’d be enjoying it so much. Must be because the passion and the lovely 5 minutes of, “GOOOOOOOAL!!!”

Hello to everybody in the world from a Colombian stuck at work with no TV from USA.

I have not followed any of these two teams but it sounds like there’s a lot of excitement in the stadium and it looks like the match will be very interessting. A back and forth affair. Cheers!! to good futbol…..

Good luck to both teams and may the best one win.

Hel

thanks, Ali.

Gotta go work for a bit…i’ll be back.

Well met Yovany! Most of us don’t have the pleasure of watching as well either due to work or no tvs. :D You’ll fit right in. Enjoy the match!

I agree with Peter if the Togo team can keep it together before the first 5 minutes they’ll have beaten Angola’s shame.

Mike-
You could probably do it with RSS but I’m not set up for that so I have to do it the Emanual way….

“Otto Pfister” Oh man! My inner child is snickering like crazy!! :D

I work for a TV network, and we all have TVs at our desk, all tuned to the WC. ;-)

This should be a game of low expectations and bright, positive play: it’s the most even match-up the two teams can expect in their group, both will be smashing after three points in order to have a chance at putting on Cinderella’s dress and advancing past either France or Switzerland. And in fact Switzerland–dull, low-scoring, slightly haiughty Switzerland–are eminently beatable by enthusiasm alone, even if France, in this group (and despite having a squad of semi-retirees), isn’t.

Pierre Uncensored… http://www.pierretristam.com

Pray tell “The Gonk”! Why grace us with your presence? This is for those without TV’s! O_o *cries*

Togo are playing horrible balls in.

no need to rub it in, Gonk :-)

Go Korea…
As long as you put out the best of yours, you will not have any problem!! 2:0 Korea

I’m predicting a goal within’ the next 10 minutes.

Is there any place to listen to live spoken commentary on the games on the web? I know BBC offers it but only in the UK. Is there anywhere a US fan can get it?

So far they are playing like my old amateur Soccer days… :)

None really Chris. Unless you understand Spanish you can try connecting to a Spanish Sports Radio Station?

Bad pass DOH!!!

I’m surprised Korea hasn’t scored yet. (Not so easy without home field advantage, is it now, fellas?)

Togo is really letting loose! I wonder if they can just figure out how to put it in the net with that enthusiasm?

The players are still pretty nervous at this time.

Ali, do you know of any Spanish radio stations that offer online feeds?

Korea is kicking the ball wildly just to get it down field. :-|

I don’t know Vin. From what I can guess those Korean fans remember 2002 and are going to go ballistic when they get a goal. Best not to allow that! :D For the sake of everyone.

Oh that elbow was wrong. TOGO should have gotten a yellow.

Sorry Mike, I’ve tried it myself looking for some…but they usually either are broadcasting locally or for news networks with no online capabilities. Dang. I’m going to try flipping through my radio here to see what I can get. Uno momento por favor.

Africa sez – Help us Togo-One, you’re are only hope! Except Tunisia!

Try this Mike: http://www.laradiodelmundial.com/index2.htm

By the way, I predict a 1 -1 tie.

K is dribbling pretty good now. I think they are gaining their confidence.

This is a poor game. Coaches need to make some changes.

ESPN radio might be playing it if you have access to a radio with AM

Well, this game is not living up to its potential as a free-for-all battle of opportunities. It’s been more like a qualifiers’ game, each side has been uneven in its own play, out-of-wync within their own ranks, let alone with each other: there is neither a rythm nor a song to this game, except in the stands.
Pierre Uncensored… http://www.pierretristam.com

I wonder if the Ref thought that was a dive?

Togo is hacking and Korea are playing like Gentlemen, yea it’s poor. Bout time for a yellow Togo…. :-;

The refs can only take so much hacking… I like the face paint of the Korean crowd. :)

I wonder if Togo is taking out its contract problems by hacking at the Koreans?

I think Korea caught the American bug. They are playing with no conviction.

Thanks Roland, but no online feed. Oh well…glad I have this blog

Oh boy…I just flipped through my radio and found nothing but junk…though I did find a nice Jazz radio.

My bet is on Korea … although I never saw Togo play … but with all other Africans disappointing, i dont expect Togo to be an exception

Oh, sorry, I just realize you meant an online feed. Bah, I’m Spanish, I’m not a morning person.

Mike check out the first WM games as in Germany vs Costa Rica blog with Bob. There are some online streaming links there. Down load the TVU player in those links.

LOL @ Roland. Remember not to handle or work with any heavy equipment or machinery.

Nello, I don’t think the African teams have dissapointed…true they havent produced an upset but they’ve played very well. Ghana was this close to tying Italy yesterday, Portugal barely hung on against Angola and I was scared to death during the final 10 minutes of Arg-IVC match. Just my opinion.

Nice Togo goal!

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!

bon, Togo. bon.

GOOOOAL!!! BRAVO!

Hex, is that stuff safe? I’ve been afraid of malware/viruses from some of those sites.

Nello, time to bite your tongue! :D

Great pass, and great control to just plast past the two South Korean defenders. Very nice goal. Very nice.

I’ve just woke up and.. what? Is Brazil playing against South Korea? Their kit is too similar to Brazil (another team), except for the shorts. The jersey is specially VERY similar to 2002’s one, with those green things on the sides at the back and all.

Check out the Homie goal dance. :)

Adebayor and Togo will win this.

Ze! Wake up man!! Togo!!!!

Oh man! I want to see the highlights right meow!

The South Koreans have to advance their line now. They need to come out and risk something. I think they’re afraid of Togo’s speed on the counterattack, which is odd, because if the Koreans have anything it’s speed.

Togo desperately need to gain possession.

Adebayor’s movement made the space for the goal.

K should have kicked low in that foul kick…I think kicking low against Togo is an advantage since they are much taller.

Yep it’s save get the TVU player one, the other suck.

Statistically, 53% Korea vs. 47% ball possession.

With 2 yellow cards on Togo.

wow…best goal of the WC? Better than Rosicky’s first?

Togo is starting to have mental lapses. That’s the problem with African teams, they seem content with scoring a single goal.

I wonder if Togo won’t tire itself out before the 2nd half?

Games getting better. I like Koreas game over Togo. K is playing more professional.

Hey Peter! How are the Korean fans now?

62/38 advantage Korea in posession and Togo scores? Holy counter-attack, Batman!

togo will win for sure

Pfister, needs to send in some subs to keep the game moving along at the 1 goal lead. 2 goals would be nice though.

Africa sez – VIVA KADER VIVA!!!!

Better football from Korea now.

Togos game is too bouncy, less ball control. They are so tall. :)

Tchangnirou looking a little shaky between the posts. South Korea could have tied it there.

Na na na na na na na Togo!

good shot on goal.

Right to the goalie. If he kept it low and wide, it would have been better.

Great save by Lee!

Nice SAVE Korea!!!

Looks like KIM Young Chul got a yellow.

I think that’s Lee at GK. South Korea starting to foul as they grow increasingly frustrated.

I think Korea should play safe for now and then attack in the 2nd half.

Panicking now will not help them at all.

55% vs 45% ball possession for Korea vs. Togo.

Maybe I missed it…

Who the heck’s coaching Togo? SOme guy in a “Nacho Libre” wrestling costume?! Either he’s an unbelievable coach to have acquainted himslef so quickly with the team..

or…

…it just goes to show you how useless a coach really is; just someone to fire if the team’s not doing as well as expected.

Korea should put more effort in the 2nd half if they want to win the games.

They should set up some strategy to win the 2nd half.

Korea WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!!

Dont afraid of Togo speed n also size. Asian is small but we can meke it one.

Never give up!

Must hold till the last breath….

Hahaha welcome back Darkoze…it’s Otto Pfister (let all the giggles out then continue on) is now coaching. Used to be a fine coach for the African continent before he retired…now he’s back with a vengence…and a pimps outfit.

impressive that togo comes away at half with the lead…i wonder if they can hang on in the second half. I’m guessing they’ll have to find the net again if they want to have a chance.

great safe by the korea goalkeeper…. my heart almost jump out when the ball shoot towards the goal. Luckily a great safe man… :)

Mike are you streaming?

If Togo wants to maintain the lead, or better yet score again, Adebayor has to see more of the ball.

Togo leading! i missed the first half…did Togo play well ?

not yet Hex…havent had time to set it up…what speed connection do you need?

Togo was brilliant Mohan! The underdogs are pulling through again! A repeat of the T&T game except with a goal this time!

Speed should be at least 128kbs.
Right now is a good time. The TVU player is around 5MB download.

i watched the replay of the goal….it looked good…and the way they celebrated !…i want them to score more :)

The Togo Homey dance. :)

Lucky you mohan!! I’m trying to see how this TVU dealy works.

“The Togo Homey dance. :)”

Hahahaha!! Patent that!

which team impressed u most so far guys ?

Forgot to mention the celebration up top. I loved it. I also loved how the channel I’m watching didn’t show Pfister jumping around in his sweet threads.

pfister is coaching?
im at work and cant watch

Wow guess they saw my comment and responded :)

Actually, I agree with Mike, what I meant was that they didn’t manage to do as well as expected (in terms of victories) but they all deserve to be in the world cup from their performance.

2nd half almost start.. get ready

Go TOGO! ;-)

Korea is coming out with a renewed confidence.

I hope Togo goes on the offense. Nothing like that to get the Koreans countering.

damn…. too high the shooting by korea

I could really go for a bowl of Kim Chi right about now.

AMAZING KADER!!!!

togo should have gone up 2-0

I think that some kind of pointage system should be set up to reward ingenuity. Like say, if you did the previously mentioned (soon to be trademarked) “Togo Homey Dance”, then the next time you clip a player, you don’t get carded because you have a “dance credit” in your Behaviour Ledger.

Building up a team’s Beahviour Ledger will induce two things.
1) More GOALS!!!
2) More elaborate celebrations of #1.

So, what new version of the “Homey” dance will Togo come up with in the second half?

Persoanlly, my favorite sports-related dance is the one the New Zealnaders do before each of their basketball dances.
The Kiwi Krawl, I believe.

Korea is going to be very vurnerable to counter-attacks during this half.

Kiwi Krawl? I was about to say the Haka…but…Kiwi Krawl?

Togo needs to send in some fresh legs into the game.

that dance deserves a credit…i just caught a glimpse though

Korea is too desperate. They will never score this way.

I think Togo’s attempt is a good and welcome development from African countries

Both Korea and Togo even with 2 yellow cards each.

58% vs 42% ball possession for Korea!

Hex, is it the stuff from this website: http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/

Just wanting to make sure.

Ali, did you get it to work?

Next big dance craze will the Togo Homey Dance and when the next goal rolls in. The Togo Worm Shuffle.

Hmm…i thought he got the ball..

Ref sees RED

Nope he didnt

Ali S.,
You’re right! It is the Haka…which sounds more manly than the Kiwi Krawl, the latter sounding more lilke the movement one does when coming back home to an angry spouse after a long night if inebriating thought with the boyz….

Togo RED!!!

GREAT FREE KICK 1-1

Well i got the TVU client…but my internet isn’t connecting.

I got it off this site:

http://tvunetworks.com/downloads/index.htm

And so the Togo meltdown begins…

GOOOLLLL!!!!! South Korea!

Mike, yes. Just look at the link with a mouse over and look for the TVU player.

The big K scores free kick!!!

Oh boy Darkoze…that last comment made me laugh…lots of coffee on teh monitor.

Mike try the first few sessions with a mouseover and find the TVU.

the blonde Korean equalised with a splendid free kick…but was the ref right? looked too harsh on Togo.

Great…three dance names we can patent and trademark out to the nearest pop dancers. Togo Homey Dance, Kiwi Krawl, and Togo Worm Shuffle.

Next up Korean Booty Bounce.

Should have been a penalty shot for South Korea.

NOOOO TOGO MUST WINN !!! SCOREE ONE PLZXXX

Nothing to see at this end!?!
Ali, help a blind guy out! Any memorable dancing fomr the S. Koreans?
Kim-chi Shuffle, at the minimum.

Great talk by Advocaat during half-time

momentum swing???

downloading TVU as I type…

Actually i can’t seem to get this working network keeps timing out on me…sorry Darkoze I’m in the dark…ozeness as well.

damn… a high shoot again by korea

Mike you will not regret TVU. Select ESPN2 when you get it going. CCTV-5 also works for low bandwidth but the comments are in Chinese?

The irish accent is crazy … Togo will strike back… just watch

Although I’m sure those watching right now can tell us of the Kim-Chi Shuffle…if not at least the Anti Kim Thrust

Anyone know where togo is exactly?

The game has now risen from its first-half ashen complexion, Korea is on the ball, Togo isn’t giving up, but playing a man down is going to hurt them. Korea smells goals, Korea smells Swiss cheese, and Korea is looking to drill the holes. But Togo still has some sharp chisels of its own for the Koreans.
Pierre uncensored… http://www.pierretristam.com

The sideline Ref saw that one. ;)

Peter, I know you’re excited, but try to write clearly. I’m at work and have been loving this blog since friday, but I can’t make heads or tails of the action today.

Mikey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togo

I’m sure the Brazilians are watching this game and thinking…
“Amateurs!!”

Not only can we score, look beautiful, and smile for 90 minutes of the game with our large incredibly white teeth, but our apres-score dance will have you rushing for a cold shower.

Meet us at 21:00 CET to check out OUR dance.
Plus our fans bring their orchestra. We’ll have you exhausted by half-time.

Togo is bordering Ghana and Benin in africa.

Peter has left us out to dry out in anticipation…or trying to console Nick the resident Togo supporter I think. :D

Togo grasping straws with all these replacements.

You broke bastards need to get T.V’s!

Which makes it…Northwest? Near Senegal or Mali Somewhere?

Cant wait for the Brazil Game… I just Love the yellow-greens

Click the Wikipedia link, or Google Image it

I wonder if the Brazilian players spend at least an hour every morning practicing their white shiny smiles?

wasted chance

That makes it go google.com

no seriously its at the top in the west side ..

Togo shooting wild. No ball control since the start of the game.

Awww Bidemi! Show us some love!

3-1 TOGO …mark my words!
when i look in my shiny crystal ball i see a big upset.

Togo lies in the Western crescent of Africa with it’s fertile green hills and has a beautiful 56 KM coast.

Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo are next to each other on the map ! what a coincidence !

Sam, thanks for the wikipedia heads-up. Here I was thinking that Togo was in Texas. I remember seeing all those drive-through liquor stores with the big “TO GO” signs.

Damn, it’s its own country. Football AND an education! Wow. PLus, when I get home, Univision and Spanish lessons.
I’ll be a smart buckaroo when the WOrld Cup finishes.

Can’t wait to see France is action today.

2-1 Korea like I predicted so far looks promising.

Togolese Motto: Work Liberty and Homeland.

Hmm…it doesnt say anything about beating Koreans

Mohan, that isn’t a coincidence- it’s a conspiracy.

Mikey, what makes you think the politicians are making changes to that right now?

“Work, Liberty, Homeland, and beating Asians.”

I think Togo is hack shy right now with the yellows and the red flag. This is giving K a chance to out dribble, pass and shoot them. Togo should speed up the game with their speed.

Cheers Sam: Missed your comment originally.

Those Togolese are flying, they’re not one man down, they look like they’re a barrel’s worth of adrenaline UP!
Pierre Uncensored http://www.pierretristam.com

Can anyone get the video highlights on the Fifa homepage to work? I’m trying both Firefox and Safari, and all I get is a black screen.

Sam if your getting a black screen most likely it’s due to the overload of people doing the same thing like you on the FIFA site. It’s probably a slow feed right now.

wondering why korea like to shoot so high…. if they can shoot on target i think they got bout 4 goals now.

that can be a nice slogan for TOGO…TO GOal!

Ali: A click of the edit button on the article, and the Togo motto can become whatever you want! :)

This game has become good without all the early butterflies.

come on and score togo. i can’t live without seeing that dance again!

i can hear drums from the crowd…must be African beat

Korea needs to shoot low and between all those long Togo legs. ;)

Who scored the goal for S.Korea? I’m following the game trhough your blog.. Thanks

Ton pis!

FANTASTIC KOREAN GOAL

hey man……….KOREA 2 now………. making me cry out now…..

LOL@Sam…nah that would be cruel to the Koreans. They are working so hard right now. :p

I agree with the majority here. We need more Togo Homey Dancing. First it was the Robot with that English player now the Homey Dance. The WC not only creates great memories but dance artists! :D

Yep. nice low bullet cross shot!

2-1 Korea. Yup prediction is going a-ok! *thumbs up!* Any Kim-Chi Shuffles out there?

Ah it was deflected into the top corner…

Figures, I step out for a minute and South Korea scores. So much for my prediction.

great play.

Crouch has said hes not going to do the Robot anymore…unless England wins and they all do it with him.

Roland if I was betting money right now…I’d be a rich man indeedy.

I don’t think Togo will back down. I’m betting for a last-minute equalizer

I predicted a 3-1 victory for Korea. Let’s see if that happens.

That would be a site to behold on live TV. England holding the World Cup and doing the Robot! @_@

Looks like Korea will score atleast one more time

I wonder if the world cup is breakable.

I had this game at 3-1 S. Korea, so it’s looking good for now. I can’t see Togo getting another score against this squad.

It’s a shame as I was (am) rooting for the underdog.

Pfister must be getting antsy right now.

Wanna a Korean/Togo ringtone on your phone…? Check out this store [url=http://naxosdirect.com/worldcupringtones]World Cup Ringtones[/url]
before this game is over!

Togo can start the toaster…

Excellent! Korea is getting back into the game!

Peter.. I just noticed that you did not have the Korean “goal” all in caps like the usual “GOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL”. I guess you arent a big fan of Korea?

Salam.

Well, all we can do is hope that the Cup isn’t breakable!! I hope no one attempts to use it as a hammer.

And for Togo to get an equalizer!! Go Togo! Go where?

Picture of the Homey Dance !

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41760000/jpg/_41760822_kadercelebrates300.jpg

A Korean/Togo ringtone? Are you kidding? It’s my dream come true!

Africa sez – Aaaaarrrrggghhhgghghgghg!

Oh. My. God. Mohan your the best! *Does the Homey Dance*

Lol mohan! That picture deserves to be framed!

Salam.

as like my expectation… korea score 2

p/s… nice safe by the korea goal

The WCB needs a new thread dedicated to the WC’s aspiring dancers!

Will there be a Homey Dance one more time??

Togo needs to Kamikaze now…it’s the last few minutes of the game. Kick in a few ankles if you have Togo!

No, no don’t. Korea is turning wet-noodle-ish, playing the time-wasting game. Togo can shake them up. Like this shot Mohammed Kader just took, but again as if he was shooting a three-pointer for the Dallas Cowboys.

Pierre Uncensored http://www.pierretristam.com

Korea’s defense is like a fortress now. They won’t let any Togo players in unless they get swarmed.

Korea’s celebrating already? Every match, my dislike of their fans grows. They can be really rude.

I still predict another Korean goal to seal this thing. When Korea gets into their attacking mode, Togo can’t stop them.

korea look like getting more energy after they score 2 goals. hope korea can score another 1 goal

The US is probably going on alert along the Korean DMZ: there’s going to be a hell of a lot of cross-border hugging and huddling and kissing attempts when this is over, if the score holds. Bush chose the wrong place to play surprise-visit.
http://www.pierretristam.com

Lol.. looks like Peter is biting his nails off, waiting for Togo to make that goal. I can picture a stone cold, killer look hez giving those celebrations!

GoodLuck Peter!

Salam.

Perhaps Tom. But seeing it that the fans are celebrating now…another goal may make their heads explode…15,000 Korean heads exploding not good for ratings.

WOA! Korea!! They made another one!!

Totally cool!

Salam.

Hey Mikey, we’ve got an Australian ringtone too. Get your ringtone guys and show off at the WC party! We need to get on “Homey Dance” animated ringtone next…!!

i can feel the heat of the korea now. they going to kill till the last minutes. Asian attitude is like this.

Hey…. GO GO GO KOREA!!!!

Fire the Togo Coach!!! Only 2 days to work with the team, you say? Pitiful kvetching, I say.

I love this blog. Without it I’d not get any coverage of the Cup here at my internship.

I feel sorry for the Togo players and fans. First the coach and the 2-1 match. Kamikaze is the only way to go now…I say bumrush the Koreans if you have to.

Who gave it the name “homey” dance?

Hex did! :D

Africa sez – hamba, Togo, hamba!!

Tom! Shame on you! Internship? And you’re on the net reading football updates? :o

(P.S. What internship?)

I can see it now…in nightclubs and in bars even at senior citizen dances. The Togo Homey Dance.

HOMEY DANCE PLEASE !

additional 3 minutes

wao… korea almost score the 3rd goals again

That would be Mr. Hex who has the trademark on “Togo Homey Dance”. He will shortly be visited by the NAACP and a litigous life it will be for the Hex-man.

2nd free kick for korea

“90:00 3 min injury time.”

I think this means the Togo players can have a free for all on the Korean players for 3 minutes…time to rack up those injuries!

Closing in on a well-played game all around, too bad for Togo losing its captain and paying for it with a goal that has proved to be enough of a difference: Korea has its first win in EWurope, and Togo has its US-like work cut out for it as it heads into the dungeons of Switzerland and the Zizanies of France.
Total Football uncensored, http://www.pierretristam.com

ToGo went.
A little sob at this end.

The Korean fans must be going ballistic…someone contact the German authorities to send out the water cannons…it’s gonna get ugly tonight.

KOREA WIN THE 1ST MATCH……..

GO GO GO KOREA

Great!Korea!

Korea wins deservedly…but I missed the Togo dance

I’m happy if S. Korea win. Why not?

Awww well, I’ll have to download the Homey dance and play it again and again. Well deserved comeback by the Koreans in the 2nd half. Hehehe my predictions were right! Whooo! Too bad I don’t gamble.

Or get trademarks off of dances like Hex-man. :D

A bummer.
The Little Engine That (almost) Could.
Who’s Togo playing next?

What? The ringtone ad has a personality? Ok, thats me freaked out… Btw – i always, always lose mo mobile phone, but nice try

Oh well. At least I’ve got the France and Brizal games to look forward to.

I WANT UPSETS!!!

Argh the FIFA archives aren’t up yet! Highlight must I watch, hmm!

Well, Nick, at least *you* had a good game. Well done & thanks.

Mike in Argentina, what happened to you? Are you up and running?

Togo plays the Chocolate players Switzerland on the 19th.

I’m still giddy about Italy’s win yesterday. Viva Italia!

Ssshh Tom, they didn’t like Italy on this board…

Mike,
The welt meisterschaft isn’t over yet. :)

hex, does it crash on you occasionally? it’s crashed a couple times on me already. i noticed its still in beta.

South Korea were the best organized asian team of the world cup in the first round of games. Obviously, some european influence from the manager. You could clearly identify the tactics they were playing (3-4-3 before the interval and 4-3-3 afterwards) and you could see that players stayed in the formation, defensively and offsensively. However, they still looked soft. And where is all the quickness from four years ago. Primarily on attack, they missed the clinical touches and their crosses were often too long to do anything with. I think a lot of teams suffer from this, so I wonder whether it has to do with the new ball. Ahn was much more objective in the second half and as much as I understand the power of a super-sub, they won’t be able to crawl back out of a disadvantage against everybody. Even Park and Lee from whom you could expect more given
their experience were not really sharp.

Although I think these sort of games also make the world championship what it is, I find it difficult to understand why one of the best refs is chosen to whistle this game.

Unfortunately it seems as if Togo has the shortest hope of all nations. They started ok, but losing Abalo with the red card and losing Ludovic (I don’t know what injury he has, but I’d surprised if it didn’t finish his world cup) to injury not only affected this game but pretty much killed their chances of doing any giant killing. They looked dangerous on the break but there were always too many defenders around. I am willing to believe Adebayor is a good player but I still wonder whether he’s worth as much money as Arsenal paid for him.

No software crashes here, using XP SP2.

Togo players were so outrageous!
I hated the way they played today. They made so many unnecessary physical contact with korean players I felt sorry for them.
They should learn how to have some manners.

That free kick by Lee was sweeeet!!! Is it really as hot and humid in Germany as they say it is?
