Judging by what I have watched so far I can only say I'm very disappointed on most of the teams.

I've seen a documentary about the the Jabulani ball. They tell how and why they've chosen materials, surface, etc. Have you noticed it has some dotted parts and some parts with little "lines"? Well apparently that's not only aesthetic. The AMAZING things they do to the ball to try it!!! They bounce it, smash it, squelch it, heat it, put it in different wind tunnels, etc, etc. The money involved must be huge.
And then some brainless sport journalists (yeah, I know, that's redundant  :D) go and say with the conviction of those who know nothing about nothing: Why don't they change it? Geeeeez....

So far there has been only few good matches,games must be better soon or this can be named Tournament of Boredom.

Every time when new ball comes to World Cups,it's invalid according to some coaches,players and media.

Argentina performed quite well against South Korea.
  England?.............well a disapointing game.
       Teams are afraid to lose,they're jumpy,the best i've seen so far is Argentina,Germany and Brazil,but i haven't watched every match.

Chile made me laugh, if they get through I might start supporting them :D

I forgot Murat Yakin no longer plays for Switzerland.  His brother's getting old too :))

Sorry about Behrami, it looks like he has adopted some of the tactics of the West Ham fans.

Wow! USA managed to squeeze a late goal.  They deserved it with 2 perfectly good goals disallowed in the competition, but I do feel a little sorry for Slovenia as they didn't do an awful lot wrong.
