- South Africa is definitely an underdog. I'm glad they scored the first official goal of the tournament (which was a terrific shot), but Mexico should have won that game.
- Speaking of that game, the refs made a horrible offsides call on Mexico, taking away an easy goal that should have counted. Momentum shifted... South Africa scores the first goal of the World Cup.
- Uruguay put some heavy D up today. Shutting out France shouldn't be an easy effort, but even down a player due to red card they played like they had more than 11 out there.
- France looks unimpressive. Seems like Nike may want its money back. And bringing in Thierry Henry, your top player, off the bench... in the second half? Wow.
- Two games... two ties. I watched the scoreless second game with a friend of mine who doesn't follow soccer. I don't think these 2 games won over any new American fans.
US vs England tomorrow... hoping for a solid effort!
