Thank goodness they've gone back to goal difference!

I'm practically falling to sleep here, I wish I saw GoT instead.

Thank goodness they've gone back to goal difference! I don't remember the World Cup ever having head-to-head over goal difference. It's UEFA that seems to prefer head-to-head.

Good to see Phil Neville is not being over-sensitive about the criticism of his commentary. His response shows a lot more maturity than many people manage. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0212b70I saw some of the ITV discussion of the second French goal this afternoon. If he gets to see it then Jonathan Pearce may not feel quite so stupid. One of the studio guests (I forget which one) seems to think the ball took 5 - 10 seconds to travel across the goal.

On a more positive note, at the last World Cup, we were getting at least one game like that every day during the group stages, so we should be thankful it's taken 5 days this time around.

If Argentina somehow fail to get out of their group then there has to be an enquiry into corruption. Both Iran and Nigeria were terrible.

Argentina and Bosnia should both sail through on this showing. I feared for Nigeria when I saw Ameobi was in the provisional squad. To even consider him for the World Cup (let alone actually take him) suggests they're really struggling for firepower and so it proved.

Interesting that Brazil and Mexico play their 2nd game before South Korea and Russia play their 1st.

There goes my prediction that there would be no first minute goals.

Goal in less than a minute for the USA.

33 seconds in USA score
Are we going to see a high scoring game.

Goal in less than a minute for the USA. Nigeria and Iran couldn't even score in 90 minutes...ha

That goal was the 5th-fastest in World Cup finals history.
