Group C Favourites Grab Wins

Argentina 2 Ivory Coast 1

A CIA operative is using the agency's satellite to watch a female navy officer sunbathing nude on a beach near a Navy base, in the corner of the screen he sees what appears to be a murder taking place and makes a 911 call. Okay, I must confess I didn't watch this one live, Saturday TV is Janis's choice and I said she could watch NCIS as usual instead of this match. But come on, who would you rather spend an hour with, Pauley Perrette who plays Abby Scuito in NCIS or Didier Drogba who plays Mr Sulkypants in the Premiership?



Holland 1 Serbia & Montenegro 0

There has been a suspicion amongst Chelsea fans this season that Arjen Robben has been saving his best performances for the biggest stage and judging by this performance that suspicion was probably right. Holland had more of the possession, despite Serbia having more chances, and although they did make hard work of it, they have three points and can look forward to Friday's match against Ivory Coast knowing that the Ivorians will have to win. Ruud van Nistelrooy looked like a player who hadn't seen much football in a while and apart from Gio van Bronckhurst only Robben looked interested. S & M played in what can only be described as a typical ex-Yugoslavian way (as Terry from The Likely Lads would have said), good first touch, good passing but not good enough up front and prone to moments of petulance.
