van Persie's goal against Hungary: [video=youtube;CnypB90zYBs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnypB90zYBs&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Vela looked okay earlier today. Doesn't look like Mexico will be doing much this summer. Diaby is playing well this afternoon. Sagna and Gallas are playing typically.
Diaby has been our best player so far. Good to see four Arsenal players in two games. Vela had the ball in the net but was correctly ruled offside. Apart from that, I thought he had quite a poor game.
Diaby looked really good. Good to see him rewarding his coach for the selection. Forgettable day of football, though.
very shitty football to be an opener. Although the Mexico vs SA was going to be hard because of home support, but france has no excuse, they have world class talent in numbers.
Couple of updates on our players: There have been no notable moments for Arsenal players so far this tournament. Vela thought he got a goal against Bafana Bafana in the opening game but it was correctly ruled offside. Robin van Persie also got an 'assist' which forced Agger to score an own-goal for the Oranje. Diaby and Sagna have both had solid games for France, despite their bad run of results. Diaby was France's stand-out player against Uruguay, in my opinion. Gallas has also had a decent run around. I don't believe Clichy has played a match yet, so let's hope that changes. Bendtner seems to be a little bit out of his depth so far this tournament. He had a sweet turn against Netherlands but hasn't made much of an impact up-front for the Danes. Fabregas hasn't done much either, but I believe he hit the crossbar in Spain's opening game. I may be wrong as it could of been a warm-up match prior to the tournament. Song was benched for Cameroon's first game, that may change when Cameroon face Denmark later today. Senderos and Eboue have also had good games, nothing much to mention.
