Holland is going to take out Italy in the Round of 16, if Italy even makes it.  Oh and Slovekia is going to destroy New Zealand.

[Lunatic]

As I expected, the Dutch looked pretty good and Italy looked as average as possible. Hope they finish 2nd in the group if they make it out, the Dutch will DESTROY them.

Italy is my most hated team followed by Brazil.

Oh and finally the world cup REALLY starts for me at 10am

FORCA PORTUGAL!

A Costa do Marfim não tem nenhuma possibilidade amanhã de encontro a esta equipe de Portugal!

[Furor Teutonicus]

Italy is disappointing as well. A current title defender shouldn't go into the tournament like this. It's a shame. Robben will dismantle them in the next round, if that match-up happens.

Italy always starts like this. I've never seen them winning their opening game convincingly. But I also think they're not good enough to win the title.

The quality of this WC has been really modest so far.  They're all afraid to lose the important first match and risk nothing. It's sad that nearly all teams play with only one striker these days. But apart from that, many teams just suck like you said. I  saw the first half Cameroon yesterday, their first action after kick-off was to kick the ball in the enemies half. After 5 seconds I was sure it would become the horrible game it was. There is a fair amount of teams who have no quality in offense at all.

Oh and: C'mon Ivory Coast

I hope the Ivory Coasters will break a few Portuguese legs

[Meho]

What a terrible World Cup so far. All the players looks tired and shit, like they don't want to play and the horns definitely don't help. I hope Brazil, Spain and Portugal show something.

Like most Dutch people, you are full of shit. Do us all a favor and stop breathing.

Its awful isnt it but its usually like this until teams really need to win. Remember that drawing your first game doesnt really mean anything.

So is Drogba playing?

Yeah, it's been a defensive and kinda boring WC so far, but I know the level of games will become better in the 2nd round.

[7even]

Not even Portugal - Ivory Coast is nice so far... aside from that cool shit Ronaldo did nothing fancy going on. I Brazil disappoints tonight, I declare tomorrow as the no-football-day for me. I'm serious. If I don't see a good half today I will not watch a minute of the world cup tomorrow.

I cant recall that many exciting first round games, shit will definitely pick up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds when teams need to play to win.

Looks like Drogba might be comin in. no homo.

[Hazzard]

portugal is overrated if u ask me not because of the match right now

[Trip Dee]

fair 0-0 after a boring game... i guess 2nd place in the group is now depending on how many goals each of the 2 teams'll score against N.Korea, assuming that Brazil'll beat everyone ofcourse...
