FIFA World Cup 2010 - Part 2

English National Team celebrating goal by Jermaine Defoe

England and America won their respective matches and are through in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Both nations are pleased with the victories staving off relegation.

A much talked about match in the World Cup is North Korea v. Portugal, with the latter scoring 7 goals against the competition. This was remarkable.

Maradona's many expressions:

Even more entertaining was an anxious Maradona coaching the Argentinean team. They won their match against Greece, 2-0, but Maradona clearly had many Maalox moments throughout the match.

Maradona: I am not gay!

With his raven hair and diamond earring glistening on the sidelines, Maradona was very animated on most plays, especially those that did not go as he wanted.

Vintage Maradona dancing on the pitch:

Watching him made one jokingly think, if Maradona does one more spin he is going to dig a hole in the ground with his shoes. But joke about him all you want, he got the results and the team went through.
