Same old: football you play 90 minutes and Germany wins at the end. Wow, what a shocker. Justified YC to Klose. 2. Serbia looked strong against Ghana. This was not a frick win.

There was never before a WC winner who lost the first game. Maybe history os about to change. 2. I agree that they'll bounce back. 3. They played (or maybe coached) like boneheads. They tried to break through the dense Swiss defense again and again and again. It didn't work so they should have changed their tactics during the game. I was watching and shouting (at the TV) "open the game up". They should learn from Argentina. Brazil: Brazil looked like Brazil. Not playing great, but still wins. Still, I was surprised, that N. Korea cut through what is considered the strongest Brazil defense ever, so easily. England-US: The poor mistake by the keeper aside, I think Eng underestimated the US. Eng couldn't get its game going because the US is a tough opponent. Maybe not playing the best football in the world, but a bunch of tough guys in good shape. In the 2nd half the US was up to par with Eng, Spain:
