I was expecting something a little closer from Spain.
4 games today.
Also a funny website to turn your name into a Brazil soccer player

Buffon is out of today's match with England. Salvatore Sirigu of PSG is likely to replace him. Should be interesting since Buffon has 140 caps while Sirigu has just 8.
Also, the EPL is the only league in Europe with good balance top to bottom.
The other strong leagues (Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, La Liga, etc.) have a couple STRONG clubs and the rest are TERRIBLE.
Still in shock about the Netherlands game. Good on them though. Now I'm waiting patiently to see what Belgium is going to bring. I'm going for the "Low Countries" this year.
Upset of the World Cup so far with Costa Rica taking out Uruguay. Uruguay is in BIG trouble now with England and Italy left to play for them. It wouldn't surprise me if we see a very conservative game from both the Italians and English now 0-0 draw take the point and move on.
New Year same story for England. Wayne Rooney is the most over hyped worthless soccer player possibly ever. I've never seen him perform anywhere near world class level. He was ABUSED in the 1st half with his "defense" and then in the 2nd it was one choke job after another just shanking shots and corners all over the place.
Yeah I hate to "pile on" but another weak performance by Rooney and the Mother country... No insult to Italy but England needs to step it up. Poor shots, horrendous corner kicks, soft D, etc. Is this really the best England has to offer? I guess historians are wrong when they say "the sun never sets on the British Empire. "
Wow! What a finish between Switzerland and Ecuador!
France looked pretty sharp today.
