Damn NK has been playing a pretty tight defense, and I think the goalie will face some grief for that goal. He was not close enough to the post when the player was at such an angle. Whatever, still a good game for 1st seed vs 105th.

got up a bit late so behind on the game but just saw the goal, and holy shit that was just wow. The Keeper probably shouldn't of gotten beat, but I can't imagine that was meant to go in, think it was a cross that had eyes for the net.

And yeah, the NK defense has been pretty good, kind of surprised me actually.

NK clearly played a defensive game with their goal being to frustrate Brazil. Every time Brazil had control, NK fell back and formed a defensive line in their backfield. NK played a fine defensive game, but I didn't think Brazil was playing to their potential. Granted, Brazil controlled the ball for most of the game, but they looked a little slow and not all that tight which only made it easier for NK's defensive formation to thwart most of Brazil's attacks. Anyway, the first group match always seems to weigh more heavily for any team. None of the first matches I've seen so far have been a real game yet with maybe the England/USA match being a slight exception. Hopefully the second and third games of the group matches will see more of that missing potential.

So far i'm unimpressed this morning...again <sigh>

Switzerland v Spain is probably the best yet. The ball handling by Spain has been superb and Villa has been rocking it, although I'm surprised he decided to pop the ball up instead of take the shot near the end of the half.

um...wow.

Swiss are really putting it to the Spaniards. All the powerhouses have had problems putting the ball in the net (except Deutschland..). I mean the Swiss goalie has had some tremendous saves for the shots that are actually ON goal, but ghee whiz...most or Torres' and Ramos' shots have been extremely wide...Alonso i think has come the closest with hitting the crossbar.
