None actually, just a string of robberies, dozens hurt in stampedes, 2 British tourist road accident victims and the WC ruining Vuvuzela.
Heavy security is paying off.


Don't worry, it's not over yet.

RSA-URU 0-3

Most satisfying game so far. The niggers will create havoc now. :D

To some extent you're right, if SA is out of the tournament you'll have a lot of unhappy locals. The magic is over, back to reality, and hang on... we're still poor, we're still hungry and our future still looks dull. Resentment, anger, poverty, crime.

What's worse is that tourist arrivals for the Cup have been very low and I've heard there are arguments in parliament about how the $5.5b debt will be met! (?)

Ok, ok. There's one thing I'll always give those Dog Damn Greeks credit for and that is heart. For an utterly shite team they've impressed. Don't care much for football, but it was the ice hockey that truly impressed me. For a nation that doesn't even possess a proper rink and had to take trips to the Czech Republic for practice to eventually win the SILVER medal at the world champs is something out of a fairytale.
I watched that match in utter disbelief I'll admit.

Argentina is next, you guys suck in terms of talent, but if you show the same level of heart it will be a different story.
I still think, first round exit.

It is a considerable achievement to just qualify. And Greece should be proud of that achievement even if they exit from the first round.

They performed very well against Nigeria. A draw against Argentina might be enough.

Fair enough.
But if Cyprus was in it, we would've done better. :wink:

Wish we had commentators like this in Cyprus..
Our commentators sound like they're narrating a funeral scene.
