It was an entertaining match. And Switzerland made the first big surprise in this WC. Well done.
It's not always the better team that wins 

[Giles]

I'd like to think that England drawing to USA was also a suprise.

[that_was_easy]

Both USA and UK played what would be considered par, I thought, but I did expect England to win after they made it 1-nil.

[Giles]

We played seriously sub-par IMO…G

IH tug-o-war to determine the winner!  Seriously though, after the first week the only match im not surprised by is GER/AUS.

After getting to see ESP/SUI I'm amazed there weren't 21 goals scored. So many opportunities!

OK… Had to stay away from this thread until I've watched all the games so far. 

Spain... Wow.. I don't know why Del Bosque didn't put Torres in from the very beginning! The play makers were already tired/frustrated when he came on so it was too late for him to make an impact. I hope they bounce back.

Holland did good and will only get better when Robben comes back into the starting line up. I feel old when I thought to myself where's De Boer, Kluivert, Bergkamp, Seedorf, Van Nilsterooy, etc. etc. At least one of the De Boer boys was in a suit as asst boss.

Argentina.. nice. I never thought I'd see the day when "the hand of god" will be boss. He has a very good squad right now and he just might match de kaiser's record (win as player and as boss) if.. IF he gets lucky.
