      Watching Japan v. Greece just now put me in mind of our beloved Japanese denim: art- and playful, in possession of the ball for 70% of the time, if not more. Only of course the scoring was missing, alas, against the very robust Greeks. Don't see either team going very far, and thus the denim metaphor ends, very abruptly.

      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

          Been trying to figure out who Van Persie looks like. Every time I see him, think I'm looking at a young version of somebody, but couldn't figure out who. Then it dawned on me.

          Mitt Romney!

                Costa Rica begins to impress me, they are becoming the dark horse of this tournament. And that in a "death group" with three former world champions, they are the ones to qualify first.  England's "clutching at straws" was bound to fail, far too long odds. The tournament promises to go not as expected, and that's always good, I find.

                    The "long odds" nicely explained, seconds after I posted. Thanks, Simon, and commiserations for the Three Lions.

                      I'd love to see CR make some noise in the tournament.

                        I hope Costa Rica win the World Cup because England will beat them next Tuesday, hence by default will be the real World Champions! Bwahahaha…

                          This Iran/Argentina game is insane, my boys are giving Argentina a run for their money.

                            Rather surprisingly, indeed Kiya!
                            And France looked killer against Switzerland, they sure are a team to watch.

                                  Yeah, that was not a result that did the game justice, the Argentinians were seriously lucky. Don't cry for me, Argentina….um, Iran.....

                                    I knew Argentina was gonna score in the last minute… My brother has an Iranian girlfriend so we were rooting for Iran as well  😞

                                      A very strong team from Ghana just exposed some weaknesses in the German Nationalelf. Germany had a dangerously passive phase in the second half, allowing Ghana the lead. Kloses goal made the game a fair tie. In this shape Germany no longer is a favorite for the title.

                                        What a weird, yet entertaining, World Cup it's been so far. Teams and matches who were expected to be exciting and set the pace have been fairly disappointing (Brazil, Argentina), supposed BIG nations have been awful (Spain, England), other fancied nations started well and then put in far from convincing performances (Holland, Germany) and teams who no-one really thought about appear to be making light work of things so far (Costa Rica, France).

                                        I have no idea where this is all going, but I put £10 on France last week at 16/1 and they have not dropped to 10/1, which goes nicely with my 33/1 Colombia bet.

                                        Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

                                          This is a perfect rundown of the games so far.. i would just like to add that Mexico (which is underrated IMO) played a great match against Brazil on Tuesday.
