Second Day

South Korea vs Greece
Greece petulant. South Korea tireless. That's it. When you saw Greece's keeper grabbing a fellow teammate and shaking him like a suspected criminal, all over! Park confirmed why he is a valuable member of ManU.


Argentina vs Nigeria
Maradona is the preening rooster still. Standing on the touchline all game, wildly waving and jumping. Enough emoting for a beginners lesson at Actors Studio.
Messi seemed to have a chance every two minutes. Well taken header by Heinze. 
Nigeria broke loose but they were all solo runs. Except for long weighted passes, no buildup.


USA vs England
Whew!! Four minutes in and it looked like a long night. USA showed great resilience.
Donovan and Howard and Cherundolo and DeMerit!
The GOAL. Even a master carpenter hits his thumb once a decade. But to hit your thumb in front of two billion people? In time poor Green will leave this vale of tears, and how do you think the second line of his obituary will read?
