world cup day two

first match of the day just ended with south korea defeating greece 2-0 in port elizabeth. greece still has yet to score as they didnt score in the first world cup appearance in 1994. it's also south koreas second world cup win on foreign soil (they did well on home soil in 2002 even though they didn't win it all). next game in roughly 40 minutes in johannesburg between argentina and nigeria. update on that later.

update: argentina 1 nigeria 0. great chances by both sides even though argentina had the play. argentina and south korea lead group B with 3 points each. coming up at 12:30 is england vs usa in rustenburg to start group C action.

update 2: england 1 usa 1. thats it for day two.
