Anyway, to the previews of tonights' games.
Greece v. Korea
Should Greece be even here, given the state of the nation. I mean, how did they afford the air fares, the team kit, the water bottles, etc. Apparently they had $2000 stolen from their team hotel the other day which raises the question where they got $2000 in the first place. Match fixing? I don't want to be blighting a tournament that is only a day old, but you've got to wonder. Probably more morally acceptable than going to the IMF, petasus in hand.
Korea, well they eat dogs don't they. Says it all really.
Prediction: Korea to win this, Greece to auction off their jerseys at the end of the match.
The Korean team's half time snack.
Nigeria v. Argentine
Apparently the word out of the Argentinian camp is that auld Diego has been partaking of the cocoa crop once again and may not be together enough to even name himself, let alone the national side's starting eleven. Actually, that's not true, I just made it up, but you will have to admit it sounds plausible. Nigeria, what can I say? Not a damn thing as it turns out, as I know feck all about the current team, but I do remember watching a thrilling 3-2 victory over Spain in the 1998 World Cup with Colin Farrell in a pub in Bantry. And based on that fond albeit hazy memory I predict Nigeria to pull off another shock upset and beat the Argies, 2-1.
England v. USA
Admittedly not two my favourite countries but only under one of them did Ireland suffer 800 years of cruel oppression so I will go for Uncle Sam on this one. And I honestly think 'Team America' could be one of the dark horses of the tournament.
So prediction: Second big upset of the night. USA to win this by a single touchdown! Yeah! Whoo! High Five Everyone!
