YOO-ESS-AAYY!!

That was a great match! It was fun seeing such different teams playing. Granted, Ghana did take it to the more aggressive side, which I'm not always appreciative of. Both played very well!

Congrats to all you US people!

Gotta love that game saving header from whatshisface. USAUSAUSAUSA

Ghana actually had some good chances near the end of it. Getting me all anxious and shit.

Shame to Iran and Nigeria for no scoring.

I'm very curious about Belgium, from what I have heard they have a very strong team!

I picked them to go first in their group in my office pool...they just have such talent this year

In individual terms I think it might be one of the strongest squads participating in the WC, but I'm not sure as a team. However I think they'll be doing fine since this a young generation that has already been playing together for a couple of years so they know each other well.

They might have the advantage of being in the second easiest group of all (that France group is ridiculous), because Russia does not have the strength of previous competitions and Argelia and South Corea shouldn't pose much of a threat.

Let's see how it goes!

Can't wait to see what Hazard and Lukaku can do. Also they have a top goalkeeper in Courtois so he'll be fun to watch on the big stage.

Belgium disappointing so far but then again Algeria
have parked the bus and Belgium are having difficulty
breaking them down.

Wow.

Was he really that bad this opening game? I didn't see it.

As someone else said:

We seem to be in some danger of soccer breaking out.

Sick finger save by the Mexican keeper though!

"Bad" doesn't even describe it anyway Mexico is playing really good,they can do it!

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Great save by the Mexican keeper!!

Brazil - Mexico 0-0. That was unexpected. Two great teams that just couldn't break through each others defenses. Pretty entertaining for a goal-less game though.

Agreed. Pretty good for a 0-0. It was end to end play
in the last 10 mins. Mexico are quite a good side. I
hope they qualify.

 

[bouVIP]

I thought it was a pretty poor performance from Brazil, but I had higher expectations for them. Ochoa was insane though! Best goalkeeper so far.

 

[liamh]

Goddamnit that mexican keeper was solid.
That match solidified my belief that Brazil do not have a Cup winning squad
