"George: It's half time and I am upset that we are only winning 1-0." You should be, your team scored many more goals in the FIRST half. Not in the second half with Jamaicans playing with ten (exhausted nearing the end) men. "I hope you had a chance to find out who "Burrito" Ortega is <g>. He is the small guy with black hair, fairly prominent chin, scored a beautiful goal (spin on the ball, also great veron pass), and absorbed aprox. 50% of all the fouls commited by the jamaica boyz." Still I don't like the guy. He is too frail...he was not in the field against Japan, he scored two goals today (when he should have scored at least 5 on these Jamaicans). Against the Germans or Dutch or Brazilians he will probably disappear from the field again. Again time will tell. And his diving skills need work<g> "I disagree with the Maradona goal (vs. England). It was the "hand of god". Just in case don't forget the other goal where he left some 7 or 8 guys bitting the dust as he ran his way to soccer glory with a goal that is an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!!" The fact remains he scored with his hand. The other goal is indeed a CLASSIC. But don't tell me this guy Ortega is the next Maradona, pulease! "You say "On with the reggaeboyz, hoping the biggest upset which we still have not seen in this World Cup.",---> If you want to see them win have them try with the USA <gggggg" How about Japan?<g> "I'm worried about your suffering, suggest you chose better teams...<ggg>" Who said I am suffering, I am enjoying this great World Cup so far. Yes I wish USA had played better and the small teams had done better. I always liked the underdog...except when it comes to my beloved Brazil. Why are all trainer/doctors of each team have their uniforms on? What was the Argentinian doc doing with that "Armani" like suit and tie in the field. He couldn't even bend his knees to treat his player. Oh it's that Argentinian feel again...<g> Powell must had the stupidest red card of the WC so far, right in front of the referree...Inexcusable, send him home. And Burton again was a big zero. Batistuta should have had more goals, he won't get as many chances with playing against another team. I like Veron. Again it's fun beating up on the little teams Jamaica now (Greece in 1994), let's see what Argentina does against the real teams. They haven't convinced me that they can go far so far. George
