I did watch the game. I was trying to write a little pun, since we were supposed to lose. Oh, well. :(

African countries are notriously unreliable, Japan winning is a small shock perhaps but really it was a 50-50 chance game beforehand.

Italy not winning is the bigger shock indeed though not much was expected from the Italians. At least here in Europe.

Today holds two interesting matches... Ivory Coast vs Portugal and The Brazillians vs the unknown North Koreans..... I expect the last match to be  a brutal slaughter of the Korean side....

Poor North Koreans. They'll probably all be executed when they lose.

Well, that was unexpected.
2-1 to Brazil, one of the best teams in the world; against one of the worst in the world, well done North Korea for that.

In the 89th minute, I think Brazil was just kindof done...a 2-0 lead is pretty much locked for a win.

Well done to New Zealand in scoring there goal with less than a minute left in the game, first ever world cup goal for them and taking a win from Slovakia. As for the Ivory Coast and Portugal game, I saw the first half and Ivory Coast was doing very well. A good draw against Portugal.

Overall-good day of soccer/football 8-)
