Every 50-50 challenge went their way. Multiple fouls on Croatia players in dangerous areas not given and then the penalty and, as kurt pointed out, the disallowed goal for the Croatians, which imo was correct as Cesar had already lost out on the ball before the Croatian player (can't remember who) even touched him. Today's mistakes were more borderline. The first was very tight but imo onside, the second was a bit more obvious but nothing as bad as a player leaning on an opposing player and sliding to the ground and earning a penalty like Fred did |

Least Mexico won that, Cameroon were poor + with the 2 poorly disallowed goals.
Not expecting a great watch with Spain - Netherlands. Looking forward more to Chile - Australia later. |

Looking forward more to Chile - Australia later. Don't know if I will stay up for that. Chile will probably smash Australia anyway |

WC is always interesting for my family. I am, of course, a big Azzurri fan. My wife is Korean. We live in the US and my 4 kids are born and raised here, so we all support USMNT as well. Then there is work. I work for a Japanese company (and would like to see Honda do well), and most of my team is based out of England (and I spend a fair amount of time there). I normally do not mind to see England do well, except of course this year we are in direct competition.
My prediction? USMNT will prove Klinsmann wrong and go all the way. (Or maybe not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) More seriously, I think a South American team will win, probably Brazil (if the players are not good enough, it looks like the refs are there to help). If not Brazil, maybe Uruguay or Argentina. Of the European teams, Germany or Belgium have the best chance IMHO. Maybe Spain but they do not look as impressive as they did in the past. Of course I would like Italy to win, but I don't see that happening. |

I'd love to see the US do well, but I think Milanfan could coach a team better than Klinsmann.
