World Cup 2010 - GROUP G (Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal) **spoilers**

[Cosimo]

I hope the second group stage games get better. So far it's been a complete anti climax.

It will improve when we get to the knockout stage.

Well at this rate every game could end up in penalties

Do all the penalty shootout games come with draws from the third round onwards?

No, from the second round onwards. The first round is a group stage in which each team plays three matches which do not go to penalties.

If england draw with slovenia, that'll be a shootout, yes?

No, that is our third and final group game.

No, that is our third and final group game.

Ah right. I was thinking that the 3rd game each team plays was round 3. So the penalty shootouts come in round 2 which is the last 16 teams.

Disappointing game. North Korea better score ten this evening.

North Korea will hit 6.

Fixed

(All hail Kim Jong-il)

I work at a betting company and some chinese guy has stumped £1000 on North Korea to win 2-0 at 150/1 to possibly win £150,000 . No Joke.

I'm looking forward to the Brazil game. Would love to see some goals for a change.. only Germany have delivered so far!

WOW

I thought I was being adventurous betting £2 on robinho hitting the woodwork

 

[OriginalJonty]

I just bet 40p for Brazil to win 6-0. Adventurous I know!

However, potential winnings are £11.20.

Poor old NK, I doubt they have any idea whats going to hit them, I doubt they know the full extent of what they are letting themselves in for, given that none of them have has any access to outside media in their own country and the team management I would suspect has been equally restrictive on what they see.

That's not exactly £1000 well spent, is it.

 

[CliffyBiro]

NK won't even get to see the match unless they win.

 

[CliffyBiro]

You won't be saying that if it comes in.

Fair play to him. He's got balls. I like balls.

 

[syke]

I like balls.

I knew it.

 

[CliffyBiro]

I knew it.

First North Korea world cup game since 1966.

 

[Cosimo]

I like balls.

Whatever takes your fancy.

 

[KELTICKNIGHT]

[sanaxe1]

Well done to the Koreans to get a draw. Not impressed with brazil . They seemed to have a lack of communication which seemed to break down there attacks.

- me 95mins into the future.
