ب مهمان جان، دستت درد نکنه، حال کردم. 

Viva Majid, Viva Argentina

Enjoy this Majid jan, see how  the sorcerer moves smoothly with the ball, isn't he dancing in the field?

I love doing this

Thank you mehman jan for giving us all this chance:)

You guys are giving way too much credit to these argentinians. Granted that they have only had a chance to demolish one of the not so strong defense lines in the world. Do you remember their 6-1 routing  against Bolovia not long ago:) And let us not forget how many times the Nigerian Goalee denied both messi and tevez.

I think that germans have demonstrated the most solid performance so far, offensivlely  despite that 1-0 loss to serbia, which i blame squarely on their central defensive players... You take Mertesaker out who else is left:( But nothing new there. They have experienced weakness in that area most of the time. 

I am much impressed By mexico and uruguay's performances. I think mexico with this new kid on the bloc, super duper mid fielders will make it to the 3rd round. Man, i have never seen a finisher like this guy in a long time.

The netherlands. They are playing hard and they mean buisness. Most definitely in the top 4. Never seen a combination with this amazing chemistry since their 78 team.

Brazil has been horrible. I loved their second goal against N.korea. But then again koreans fought super hard. heck. We played much better than Brazil against them and we managed to come away with a tie. I don't see them going too far.

Out of the second tier Teams... I wanna see Algeria and New zealand move up. They are playing decent football.

My ideal final would be Germany vs Holland. I have to check to see what teams from what brackets would face each other off... But that would be an awsome show down.

Argentina all the way.

(Fact)

No European nation ever won the world cup when held outside their continenet!

So who's left? Argentina you say? I agree..........:-)

Brazil is certainly doing great but what about Italy and England?

They are not doing good this year. Italy did not deserve the last world cup either, if it wasn't for Zeidan's reaction... well, past is past.

Yea, but Germany is good and their lost to Serbia was an accident.

mehman

if argentina and germany both top their groups, they'll potentially will meet in quarter-finals. in that case, their next games in the knockout stage probably will be argentina-mexico, germany-us.  argentina definitely seems flawless so far and i think the game will be higher scoring than the game in your link. :)

Usual suspects

Argentina looks good. But the Brazilians put on a great show last night. Italians and Germans are always in contention. I thought England would be too this time vali ta hala keh ter zadan :)

Argentina and Germany in the Final?.... That is a good possibility.

But the winner?! I will go for this rather:

i agree that the south

i agree that the south americans have great teams in this world cup: argentina, brazil, chile, uruguay, paraguay.  however, i think only one of them will make the final and it will lose to germany.  of course, germany has to beat one of my favorites, ghana, to qualify for next stage.  if germany qualifies for next round, there's possible argentina-germany matchup in the quarterfinals.

.....

Wow! Thank you, Mehman, for the video.......I really like the bicycle kick! I have a movie called "Escape to Victory", Pele had a bicycle kick there:

I showed the bicycle kick to people at work many times......we blogged a little on WC (Mexico vs. France) a couple of days ago:

I hope US does well......even though they don't have a lot of fans like in other countries....American soccer players do work very hard and they played their hearts out in Slovenia game.

Yes Yolonda

the US and Mexico are doing both well and have good chances to step up to the next round. I think US will go up this year to the one eight finals, they only have to be careful in their game with Algeria who does not have much hope for going up.

and Mexico did pretty well in the first 2 games especially in defeating France!

watch these fantastic moves by Pele, yolonda and enjoy:

......

My pick is Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands. Argentina's Gonzalo H is cool that he was able to score 3 goals in one game! Argentine players had a lot of Chemistry in the Argentina vs. S. Korea game.

I like World Cup for the emotion it brings to the world! My team is Mexico 'cause soccer is the #1 sport in Mexico.....here in US, soccer players are under-paid and have low status....I rarely see soccer players in commercials......not enough support and not having enough fans. I see Mexican soccer players in many commecials.......their fans are ranging from regular people, little kids all the way to president of Mexico......

 I do want to see US do well......it is sad that their winning goal was disallowed.....it is heart-breaking!

Thank you for the fun blog!

yes farshadjon

You are right! The south American teams have performed much better so far with a far superior technique than their European counterparts, a higher class of soccer, both in terms of individual techniques and team play.

I remember this was not the case years ago, like don't know if you remember the 1974 world cup in Germany, I was a kid but followed the games on TV, and the 2 teams of Germany and Netherlands with all their stars like Beken Bauer, Gerd Muller, Overat, Paul Britner, Sep Mayer, Yuhan Krayuf, Niskens, Ari Han and... played  super technical games and far better than most european in the 2010 Cup! Netherlands defeated 2-0 Brazil in 1974, but now second class S. American easily defeat great European teams!

Thanks for the blog, Mehman jan!

My vote goes to Argentina as well.Having said that I am impressed by South American teams performance in particular, Paraguay and Argentina.

Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Brazil, as well as Argentina have shown superior technique and team work in this tournament compare to the teams from other continents.  A big disappointment for European teams like Italy, France, England as well as Spain.

Now, I can understand why it was so difficult for Argentina to be qualified to the world cup in the first place. But again, based on what I have seen in the first two matches, Argentina squad has a character to win this world cup.
