South Africa have actually got an ok group, got just as much chance as Uruguay really and they're the hosts.

Didn't notice that when I drew it lol

Wish Senegal had got in but they were in Nigeria's group.

I'm ready with the new file Adam.

after spending abouts 2 hours picking squads, press confrences etc the group games start tommorow (fm time) with group A games, lets hope there some shocks.

Good luck to Nigeria and Italy, my money's on them.

2 hours is nothing Adam, I've spent 19 days on my current game to make the end of the season, though a lot of that isn't actual playing time

Have fun!

Good luck mate, lets see some African sides doing well

In the first game of the fifa world cup 2010 in south africa, 87,568 people turned out to watch Italy (the world cup holders) vs Austria, anyway the game started off with live coverage on ITV 1, Fabio Canavaro broke italian history by becoming the oldest player for Italy and he won his 120th Cap. Italy started brightly and took the lead on 22 minutes with a curler from 25 yards from Daniel De Rossi. Italy looked comfortable and made it 2-0 through Cassano lovly effort. 3-0 followed in the 38th minute through Cassano again. So HT 3-0 Austria looked down and out. The 2nd half began and Austria looked stunned but 5 mins after the restart Linz broke through the defense only to hit the post. But finally on the 62nd minute Junuzovic chipped in a goal over Amuri who was in goal for the injured Buffon. Austria had hope. Then on 70 minutes Salmatter hit a beautiful volley top corner for 3-2, Austria believed an upset was on the cards. in 90th minute Linz thmumped a shot, which Canavaro bravly cleared away, and Italy then time wasted and got the 3-2 win, a super opening game.

Later on that Day its was Nigeria against Japan.

so the first day of the world cup is over, all eyes on Argentina, Croatia, Ghana, South Korea in Group B.

(btw comment on if you want screenshots from fm or do the table like i have done).

Nice start Adam, good results for Italy and Nigeria

Just need to watch your grammar and spelling, it's sloppy in places. And I think it would be worth putting the points in the group next to the userbars like you have for the scores in matches.

Also, remove your signature from the bottom.

Good start though.

Really nice layout Adam!! Realy good work!! KIU!!

doing the layout like you have is better, just when it gets down to deciding group games it might be good to include points and goal difference.

Keep It Up mate.

Back to the FIFA WORLD CUP, and group B clashes looked exciting, Croatia and Argentina have all the ingreidents to for a good game, as S.korea and Ghana is a winable game for each side.
