nonsense that Angola and Togo can do no worse, the only reason we didn't qualify passed the first round is because we were in the hardest WC group in modern history. Today CIV finds themselves in the second or possibly hardest group in modern history as well, however they are better than our 2002 te...

if we had Nigeria , CIV, Cameroon, Tunisia, Senegal going, I can guarantee that one would have made the semi finals. Angola, Togo, and I think even Ghana are just going to make up the numbers. It is really a shame. Angola looked so hopeless against Korea, I just do not understand how they are going ...

Ivory Coasts chances

I think their chances are getting better every day of them qualifying. Arouna Kone is on fire for PSV lately, and he scored twice today. I just watched the first half of Holland v Ecuador on Telemundo, and I must say that this has to be the worst Holland team that has ever gone to the World Cup. The...

excuses aside, I just watched the game for a second time, and this is my 2 cents. Mexico did not completely dominate the game like reports have suggested, I actually think it was a pretty even game. Ghana played better in the first half, they actually had more possession in the first half, but could...

I was really confused about the goal as well, I have never before seen anything like that. If it was a foul why did play not stop earlier, and to me it looked like the Mexicans themselves were still playing.

this Germany team really sucks, people who are saying they have a chance to win the cup are deluding themselves. They are way more overrated than England. I still cannot conceieve at how they managed to make the final in Japan. Germany has not been good since they won Euro 96, since then they have b...

I never glorified this loss, they did not play well, as I said they couldn't even put passed together, and their defence was raped in the first 15 minutes. I'm just putting things into perspective by reminding u that Brasil was beaten here, as was Serbia 2-0 just a fortnight ago.

who cares if Shevy played or not, this time is getting to much hype and if they cant beat Azerbaijan missing one player, be it their main man or not, they are not that good. Also if u look at their last 3 qualifying results after they qualified, they were all terrible. This team is a Greece in disgu...

I actually woke up early to watch this match. the first 15 minutes were terrible for Angola as the speedy Koreans ripped their defence apart continually. I became very angry watching a team that looked like a bunch of amateurs, thinking this is the team that beat us out. Angola were lucky to not be ...

Just because they have one of the best strikers in the world means nothing. Ukraine did a Greece in their...

scipio, there is no way Spain will beat CIV 3-0, r u crazy. The key to this battle is in the midfield. If CIV can mark out Etoo, they'll handle Torres and Villa, unless Spains midfield plays a lot better than Cameroon did. Xavi, Guti are out, who will pull the strings, Fabregas will do nothing again...

ghanas defence against naija was very good, but to say it is better than CIv may be pushing it. Toure is better than Kuffour, but then Mensah is better than Kouassi. CIv has better outside defenders.

Mr. black, I do not mean that as an insult, but as a genuine question, much of Spain was once controlled by arabs, I'm just questioning if this has anything to do with the widespread racism.

metallaloy I saw Italia 90, however I admit I was young and my memory is not that great from it. My criteria is not how well the teams did, but player for player, that is why I rate CIV 96 as second best after Nigeria 94.

how the hell does Ghana have a better defence that CIV, are you mad, would CIV let ZImbabwe score all those goals against them, (offside or not). The midfield is not equal, ghana has no depth, CIV is the deepest team in Africa right now, they have players who would not make the squad who would start...
