<p>Wow Costa Rica! And their best outfield player isn’t even able to be there due to injury.</p>
<p>“I still believe Italy will win.” </p>
<p>I think so, too. </p>
<p>I started watching Italy/England when the score was 1-1. Very exciting, with Italy scoring to go ahead and England blowing many chances to equalize.</p>
<p>There you go!</p>
<p>It’s going to be a tough Father’s Day phone call with my English dad tomorrow…</p>
<p>I hope he will feel better by tomorrow.</p>
<p>Italy looked good, creative on offense, good ball movement and good coverage on defense (which has been lacking for other teams so far). England continues to play like … well, England: uncreative on offense, dribbling way too much close in rather than pass and taking shots from the center beyond the box. </p>
<p>It could not last forever. Japan - Ivory Coast has brought annoying crowd noises again. Not as bad as the horrible vuvuzelas, but one team has some kind of clacking noise that has nothing to do with the rhythm of the game. Can’t tell the side of the idiots who make the crazy sound. </p>
<p>What a sloppy mess that Japan game was! So far, the African teams have not played to their standards. The lack of organization and discipline of the Ivorians was surprising. </p>
<p>The Ecuador game should be a lively one. </p>
<p>Did you see Ecuador’s first goal? A header off a free kick. </p>
<p>Anyone else excited for the Argentina - BIH match, or just me? :)</p>
<p>SWI-ECU - Good game!</p>
<p>Argentina and Netherlands are my favorite teams. But I may root for Bosnia today to bring more excitement for the cup.</p>
<p>“Anyone else excited for the Argentina - BIH match, or just me?”</p>
<p>Me! Big Argie fan. </p>
<p>It’s getting hot up in here!</p>
<p>Red card and goal against Honduras!</p>
<p>I think France will dominate group E, advance to the next round, and probably will win 2F (if Argentina will not have bad luck).</p>
<p>Own goal???</p>
<p>That OG should be reversed. </p>
<p>Word is, by fifa rules it was a “hat trick”. </p>
<p>Only 3 games today. All the expected won, but Honduras, what a dirty team. I thought France looked good, and I do think Benzema gets a a hat trick. Too bad for B-H. I hope they still can advance. Argentina was a deception. so much less than the hype. </p>
