Argentina looks amazing.

I think it's as much Nigeria looks lost and unorganized than anything Argentina is doing. Nice goal on the header off the corner kick but even a soccer neophyte like me knows you have to mark the guy. The Nigerian defender just watched him go by and had a great view of the ball sailing into his net. Offensively, Nigeria's finishing attempts have been dreadful. They've almost whiffed completely on shots in the box.

I'll need to see Argentina against better competition, although they won't find a lot with the Greeks in their group.

Yeah, Argentina looks like they may roll through the group in relatively easy fashion.

South Korea did play surprisingly well, but as I've read, the Greeks were just awful.

Messi is so shifty. Beautiful to watch.

Argentina looks great, except they aren't finishing. Messi is amazing, but its just not going in so far for him today. Argentina not finishing is keeping Nigeria in it, except for the fact that they can't even put a shot on goal when they have a decent opportunity.

I'm hoping the US game opens up the rest of the tournament.

I think a lot of teams have been playing pretty safe and it may be conceited but I think a lot of eyes are on US/England. I'm hoping for an exciting match where both teams go after it for 90 minutes and the rest of the games to follow suit.
