Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Argentina vs. Ivory Coast


This one should be absolutely fascinating. Drogba vs. Crespo? There should be some goals in this one. It's the best match on paper of a fabulous second day for the neutrals.

Love how these Ivorians are rocking the all orange kit. Honestly, can you imagine if Wes Brown played for them? He'd be the invisible footballer!

Half time: 2-0 Argies; they're looking as strong as I'd suspected, even with Riquelme and without Carlos Tevez. Frightening. I feel sorry for the Ivorians, who look a good side.

Did the ball cross the line from the header off a corner. I say 'no' but then I hate the Argies. Come on you Orange!

As for Shep Messing: I thought the other mugs were bad, but this guy has to be the worst. "Oh, baby!" Consign this guy to the dustbin of footie announcing.

This is pretty demoralizing watching. During the first half, I had hope that this was going to go the Ivoirian way, but now it looks like they've really rolled it up and are looking forward to another day.

Eboue's booking was typical. Those feckin' Argies aren't satisfied with simply being better; no, the cheating sods have a sick psychological need to have an unnecessary advantage. I really hate them. And even though Riquelme has been effective tonight, he's a lazy, cheat waster in my book and I hope he fractures something. Hate these Argie bastards.

Why can't the Ivoirians finish? God this is frustrating.

Full-time: 2-1 Argies. Too bad. Excellent match, though. The Argies tried to sit on the lead rather than push it. Nearly got caught out in the end after some good finishing from Drogba.

I still reckon the Orange Elephants can make it through this group, but we'll see the other two teams tomorrow morning.
