Group B played their second games today with the first featuring the leaders of the group: South Korea vs. Argentina. Argentina destroyed South Korea as they won it 4-1. After a own goal that helped Argentina, Gonzalo Higuain got a hat Trick for Argentina to help them get 3 more points. The other Group B game was Greece vs Nigeria. both of these teams needed a win to stay alive and Greece would be that team. Nigeria scored a goal first off a free kick by Karl Uche but luck would turn around for them as Sani Kaita would get a red card for losing his temper on the sideline. Greece would manage to score two goals in response and win 2-1. This was their first World Cup win. As it stands, Argentina has control of Group B with 6 points.
There was also a Group A match up featuring France vs. Mexico. Both sides were looking for a win to help keep pace with Uruguay in Group A. The first goal wouldn't come until the the 64' when Javier Hernandez scored a goal off a breakaway pass up the middle. Later, Eric Abidal of France fouled Pablo Barrera in the penalty box giving a penalty kick for Mexico. Cuauhtémoc Blanco would score on that kick. Mexico would win 2-0. It looks like 2006 World Cup runner up France is going to be eliminated in the group stage as they are behind both Uruguay and Mexico who have 4 points. Mexico and Uruguay still have to face each other and both sides just need one point to advance.
P.S. I like that people are actually commenting on my page but what the hell is up with the Japanese characters? OK, it could be Chinese, Korean, or some other Asian language. Either way, I can't read it all. Please criticize me in English so I can understand it when you're insulting me, OKAY!!!
