This is the first World Cup in which as many as four South American teams failed to win their opening game.

Japan is the first Asian team to beat South American opposition at the World Cup.

Argentina is toast. Put some butter on it, Messi.

 

[ilan]

3 - 0 no less. I didn't see that one coming!

 

[dara]

Iceland is looking like toast as well. Argentina might have a chance if they can trounce Nigeria.

 

[dara]

Mexico goes up dos a cero, with Chicharito's 50th international goal.

Not yet over... Korea scores at '94.

Final. 2-1 Mexico. They just need Sweden to win or draw to go to the knockout... but Sweden plays desperate Germany. That goal could be a problem if there is a goal differential issue.

 

[dara]

Germany down 1-0 to Sweden at the half. Rut-rho.

 

[ilan]

Yes, Mexico has to be cheering Sweden on. It doesn't look like Germany has much of a chance for a repeat.

 

[ilan]

Germany scored...tied up...1-1.

 

[dara]

So much pressure by Germany, but they can't finish, so far. Sweden is on their heels.

 

[dara]

Wow... boateng is out...

 

[dara]

Germany pulls it out of their butt. LOL.

Amazing goal by Kroos.

 

[ilan]

Unreal! They do it in extended time...

 

[dara]

It's amazing that Mexico can still be out of the tournament, with a loss, and huge win by Germany over Korea.

 

[ilan]

They really needed Sweden to do it there to take the pressure off...

 

[dara]

England curbstomping Panama, 5-0 in just the first half. I don't think that the USA men's team would be that bad, but it's their fault for not winning games they should have won, easily.

 

[ilan]

6-1 final. England kicked butt.

Japan 1-0-0 vs Senegal 1-0-0 at 11:00 AM ET

 

[ilan]

Senegal just took the lead 2 - 1 over Japan in the second half.

 

[ilan]

Good game! Japan just tied it 2 - 2.

 

[ilan]

They played to a draw. Both teams remain unbeaten.

 

[dara]

Colombia taking charge now, 2-0, over Poland, and Falcao gets his WC goal. Poland will be out if this result holds.
