    Damn. France scores to make it 2-1. RSA are going to have to push even more.

    Haha I agree Italians do have that kind of reputation, but its happened in the UK and in Belgium aswell. Chinese investors doing that kind of business ;)
    Though you might be pleased to learn that the Belgian rigged team has a strong Italian fanbase :)

    France scored the 2-1 yes you are right clearly rigged :grin:

    I'm not saying No games are rigged, I just do not see any evidence that these specific games are rigged. But enough about games being rigged, let's just enjoy the game. And If mexico does get knocked out by South Africa, than we can start the discussion if the games were rigged.

    I'll tell you one thing. I still Love Henry. Loved him in Barca and I don't care about the hand ball.

    I hate the french but I love that man.

    Chicharrito with a cheap shot!

    RSA still needs to make up 3 in goal differential with both game almost over, right?

    After seeing how badly the French performed here at the world cup, I feel even more sorry for the Irish.

    Yes, so basically the game is over.
    Congrats All the Mexico fans, good luck against Argentina. I hope you beat them.

    I agree SJC, I feel sorry for the Irish, one of the few European teams that I always root for.

    That's a shame. I was pulling for them. It got exciting for a while early.

    Mexico goes through with a staggering 4 point total.

    It looked to me like Ribery was the only one who was actually trying on the French team today. I can't wait for the rest of that saga to unfold. Maybe someone punches Domenech today?

    Looks like an Argentina and Mexico rematch in the 2nd round.

    How nostalgic.

    I want Mexico to win against Argentina...for selfish reasons, though, to be honest.

    Not happy with loss. :( Thanks to France we weren't in danger. We were outplayed.

    No reason to take out Guardado, no reason to leave Chicharito out for so long. If we can't beat Uruguay like this, I hope it is because Juarez was not there. I am also hoping to see much better D. :eek: Congratulations Uruguay. I also hope to see more Latin American countries make it far. I know Argentina will be very difficult to beat. It's possible. Big teams have fallen.

    To be fair Swoly, I think you guys missing the pace and creativity of Vela was a big reason for your team's struggles.

    If he is back in the knockout stage you guys have a great shot at beating Argentina.
