Matchday 2:

The day we’ve all been waiting for, USA-England. Let’s get to the other matches first though.

As expected, the Greeks proved that they are not a team that can challenge at this level anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go ala their 1994 tournament and not score a goal. They were no match for the super athletic and classy Koreans.

The only shame from the match was that it was played in front of an empty PE stadium. While it was a great token that the Eastern Cape got a stadium, it’s just not really an area where many are going to be able to afford to turn up unfortunately.

I didn’t see the Argentina – Nigeria match as I was in transit to Rustenburg, but from what I can tell Nigeria stuck in there. This is certainly promising for Nigeria as it seems to be a straight shot between them and Korea for the second spot.

Argentina pick up a big win, but it’s a shame that they can’t look more convincing.

I’m going to do an extended post on the USA-England match, so look for my commentary regarding the match there in a few.

Takeaway from Matchday 2: England will not win the Cup. Somebody in the Premiership needs to snap up Jay DeMerit.
