On the TV the vuvuzelas sound great. I'm not sure I'd wanna stand in a stadium full of them though.
Yeah, really looking forward to the Holland game. And Italy tonight, too. |

The referees have set a high standard in the matches so far.
I think we'll see much more exciting football in the second and third round of the group stages, at least I hope we will.

Well done Germany! Finally a team that's brought goals galore.... this world cup really needs more goals.
Anyone else notice how the vast majority of free kicks and distance shots so far have gone well over the goal? Hopefully Sneijder and Van Persie can do it better today. I'm really excited for the Holland game (and also for Brazil and Spain's first games). |

one of the commentators mentioned that too. If the ball is supposed to be so bad for keepers i'd have expected shots to be coming in from everywhere. most of the long range shots have gone well over or wide. I guess there bad for keepers and strikers too

It's only a problem for the keepers who let in loads of goals and the strikers who miss the goal with their "hit and hope" shots. They're masking how shit they've been. A bad workman always blames his tools.

Our boys played like shit last night and the red card on Cahill was bullshit, however Germany kicked our asses badly and way out classed us.

Very glad and happy to see the butterfingers keeper from the UK allow the US to draw that match! YAY!
very exciting. The Brits seemed to know the americans start off too emotional and without precision and they took advantage of it for their goal. Love all the matches, even the boring ones. LOVE EM!

The Germans looked very good nice spacing, nice passing, great teamwork.
Argentina looked good and should have scored 4 goals themselves. Yes USA was lucky but so weren't the English. The English certainly looked more potent offensively but the Americans were much better defensively as the backers and Howard proved themselves equal to the test. Slovenia and Algeria very boring match but Slovenia earn the victory with better play and have now put the pressure on the English and the Americans to play better and win their next two games if they hope to advance.

No. The equivalent would be referring to the USA team as the North American team, or the French as the Western European team. |
