Looks like the North Koreans are already thinking of defecting instead of playing defense.
I'm sure they have the route to the nearest embassy ready to go.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down
I'm starting to wonder about the weather. South Africa is entering its winter and granted South Africa isn't that far south there has been mention of temps near freezing. Seeing at this game starts at 8:30 locally I'm wondering if this plays into the American advantage (see USA-Mexico 02/28/2000 in Columbus, OH)
Tommy Smyth says Ghana will win tomorrow.
Guess we don't have to watch.

Good point made by the analyst in the Ivory Coast-North Korea game. He says the European coaches may be handcuffing the African teams. He says they don't have the same attacking flair they normally have.

Wherever it's from, I don't like it when a production thinks I need my hand held to appreciate a big moment like that goal. No worries, though; I'm still glad. I'd rather be annoyed at schmaltzy big victory videos than have lost, eh?

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down
I blame you.
They should have recorded the reaction from the break room at my office. That was much better.

10 goals in exchange for refuge in Ivory Coast?

Yaya Toure scores 1-0 CIV.
What's the over/under on the amount of goals that will send the North Korea team to the gulag for the rest of their lives?

Drogba nearly got his head on a 3rd in the box. I'm surprised he didn't do what he does best and dive.
And Kepler well played about the 10 goals for asylum joke.

Anytime now Brazil, turn it on and score 5 on Portugal.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down
Why? They're already through. Just don't let Portugal score.
And since the Brazil keeper is the goalie for my fantasy team, a clean sheet would be nice.

If they can win by about 5 goals, they make a legitimate chance for Ivory Coast to finish second.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down
Edit to add: During qualifying, weren't we scoring a lot of goals from set pieces, and everyone was worried about the fact that we couldn't score from open play? Now all four of our goals have come from open play. Did we magically learn how to score from open play? No, of course not, because we didn't ever *not* know how to score from open play, that's just the way it works out sometimes.
They've generated a pretty fair number of chances from what I've seen though. There's enough randomness involved that it seems unrealistic to say they don't actually have ability to score from open play.

Ghana worries me, as any team would at this stage, but they couldn't break down ten man Australia. I'm more worried about our ability to finish chances than what Ghana does going forward.
