I'd say Mexico and Iran, or Sweden vs. TT was more enjoyable. I mean those were exciting games. The Germans looked like you would expect the German team to look, disciplined, almost military in their formations and passing. Although their back field was surprisingly open, with holes I wouldn't have expected, thankfully their boys kept the ball upfront for the vast majority of the game. Today is going to be scary. I mean, Czech Republic is a solid good team. Italy is going to be a bitch as well. Don't know anything about Ghana's team, but I imagine they are pretty good. I don't know how you can be disappointed with the quality of play. There have already been huge upsets, the games have been moving fast as hell, especially when compared to MLS soccer. Also some of the goals have been incredible; Christ that Mexican header for their second goal was something that will be on the history channel some day :) I thought it was that good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:208769 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
