De Futebol
Argentina kicked ass and took names in the 4-1 demolishing of South Korea.
If this were a heavyweight fight, this sucker would have been stopped in the third round.
This was a TKO baby.
From the very outset, Argentinos took it straight to the undermanned South Korea side.
An own goal Park Chun-Young set the tone for the match. He knocked the ball into the back of his own off a wicked free kick from the left side of the pitch in the 16th minute.
Messi didn’t score but his mate Gonzalo Higuain nailed the hat trick (33rd, 76th, and 80th minutes.)
Higuain become the first player to hit for the hat trick in a World Cup match since Portugal’s Pauleta did it 2002 against Poland.
The head case Carlos Tevez didn’t score a goal but he showed why he is one of the best in the world.
On the pitch Tevez is great but off the pitch he is nuts.
This dude drives the EPL managers nuts.
All you have to do is ask Sir Alex and Man City’s Mancini.
They will tell ya all about it.
Argentina sits a top Group B with six points.
Greece pulled the upset with a 2-1 win over Nigeria.
The big shocker was this baby.
Mexico shut out the cheaters from France 2-0.
France has stunk the joint out for two straight matches.
Cheaters never win.
France you cheated.
Paybacks are a bitch.
Javier Hernandez received a great loop pass over the entire French “D”.
Hernandez had an easy one on one with the keeper Hugo Lloris.
Juke left. Go right.
An easy walk in goal in the 64th minute for a 1-0 Mexico lead.
Was this off side?
Maybe?
The French were frustrated so they tackled Pablo Barrera. Barrera took it straight to the rack. French defender Eric Abidal was forced to tackle him.
This was a dumb-dumb play but what the heck he had to or Barrera would have an easy walk in goal.
Blanco nailed the PK in the 77th minute for a 2-nil Mexico lead.
Game, set, and match to Mexico.
France is one step away from not making it out of the Group stage.
We are not even a week into the World Cup and we have a ton surprises.
Spain and France stinking the joint out.
Argentina is playing lights out futebol under the wunderkind Maradona.
This is a shocker.
USA battles Slovenia Friday morning.
