Fact of the day:
In every World Cup they've qualified for since WW2, France have either gone out in the first round or been one of the final 4 teams left in the tournament.

A good omen for France then.
They have looked like a good unit this time around.
If I recall correctly they should meet Nigeria in the round of 16 so that makes them favorites for the Q-F at least.

Another Swiss goal and a 1-0 win won't be enough for Ecuador...

Going back to the France stat from earlier, the trend can actually be applied to every World Cup they've played in that has had a group stage for its opening round.

Straight red for Antonio Valencia. Very difficult for Ecuador now...

Another commentator annoyance: commentators saying "he was late there" when seeing a slow-motion replay of a foul.

I wish BBC hadn't played that trailer with the Flaming Lips song at half-time. Can't get it out of my head now.

This is the first world cup in which a Charlton Athletic player has scored.

Is that the second hat trick of the tournament.
I recall Mueller only so far.

The American teams have done well this world cup but in this group it's the Europeans who seem to be about to progress.
