The first two games were a decent start to the cup.
The ref for the France vs Uruguay game was absolute garbage, though.
I'm rooting for France, Germany, and Spain, but I plan to watch all the matches.
edit: also, i'm going to love the Eng. USA match. The US hype campaign about how they're going to thrash England has been hilarious. England better not choke
Man that first goalfrom Tshabalala was beautiful, perfect execution! Im looking forward to the England - USA match, hopefully the English will show the USA what real FOOTball is like
Too bad penalties aren't in the first round so England can school us on how to lose properly, eh? :poly108:

49% of NA think US is gonna win the world cup. I laughed my ass off.
Good games today, the USA and ENG game was my favorite. Enyeama really shut messi down but Argentina still got the 3 points. and Korea? I put money on that game and I am now 5 dollars richer lol
I wouldn't call the US the better team, just like I wouldn't call South Africa the better team on the opening match, but both where very fair results.
England didn't win a point, they lost 2. Definitely a victory for the USA
England, over-hyped as per-usual. USA were the better team.
Not really. They kept possession nicely, and defended with poise, but weren't very dangerous on offense and became typically porous at random on defense. England was the slightly better team except for that amateur error on Green's part.
im rooting for serbia! obviously. they better win this shit (todays game, which is in like 20 min)
i saw a bit of the korea/greece game yesterday. mann... greece got hammered bigtime. didn't see that one coming.
also, worst defending by a goalkeeper iv ever seen in the algeria/slovenia game hah wtf, he went to pick up the ball and bounces of his shoulder as he dove for it.
Ghana was very active and agile in the game. Serbs looked to have some tactic but they failed at execution. Players kept missing good balls, losing control, etc.
Pathetic showing so far today. Serbia goes down on a flagrant handball penalty, and Slovenia gets a goal on the gimpiest attempt at a diving save/catch possible. At this rate it'll be the round of 16 before we get really quality matches.
theres still alot of good football to be played brazil portugal spain these are three great attacking sides. Argentina nigeria was probably the best game up to now s korea greece was second best

England shows us how to not win
The S Korea match was the bomb.
I'm rooting for Serbia and Germany in the latter two matches of the 13th. Don't quite care for the first one.
