    No I didn't agree with that either.

    Scoreless draw would be great for North Korea. After they beat Brazil they will be in the driver's seat.

    Pretty dull game as has been the case for almost every game.

    A lot of people were expecting goals from this game. No idea why, Portugal didn't really set qualification alight and their defence was the only thing keeping them going.

    Read this which was quite interesting with regards to Portugal anyway; http://vuvuzelaview.wordpress.com/2...ght-fall-portugal-group-of-deaths-casualties/

    Plus Ivory coast aren't exactly great, despite the players they have. Really is quite disappointing though. I was hoping I was wrong and I'd be entertained!

    I would have said, if North Korea weren't in this group they'd have probably got through. Actually... after this game, they probably will.

    Portugal have been the better team since Drogba came in.

    It does not merely rain on Drogba. The stadium weeps :D

    My God.

    Bad crosses are my pet peeve.

    Maicon, Michel Bastos, are you listening? I don't want to see any of those bombed crosses 20 yards too long from my team. So many of those could be concrete opportunities here but end up thrown out.

    I hope this doesn't end a scoreless draw, but it sure looks like that's what's going to happen.

    Looks like it will come down to who can beat North Korea by the most.

    Oh dear, this is really as bad as I thought it would be.

    These are supposed to be entertaining teams! Their names imply it, why are they both rubbish. Argh!

    That's really lame.

    "Hey, I wonder which team is better, Ivory Coast or Portugal?"
    "I know, lets have them both play North Korea and see which scores more."

    Keita is coming on for Rick James. I thought Rick James did a pretty good job today. Too bad none of his chances went into the back of the net.

    Also, when is Queiroz making the last sub?
