I've watched almost every one so far. I had Holland against Spain, but would never have dreamed of the Costa Rica - Uruguay result! Biggest upset so far - England's loss - I thought they played very well in the 1st half, then disolved! Being in the US all the games are live during the day so no problem seeing them.

I've watched them all, too. Glad to see the avalanche of goals (relatively speaking) and can't believe there has yet to be a tie result.

Waiting for Ghana on Monday  8)

Watching almost all of them, too. I can afford staying awake till 1.45am but could not stay till 3.00 to see IvoryCoast-Japan kick off.
It is indeed very promising to see so many goals scored. And the surprises make it even more exciting. I wonder what Bosna makes against favoured Argentina this night. But my bet for the campeon is Brasil (my usual bet since I started following soccer world cup back in 1982)

Watched Brasil-Croatia and was a bit disappointed by the result. Saw Netherlands beating Spain and was amazed at that as I think a lot of people. Next one will be Netherlands - Australia on wednesday.

regards,

I'm watching most of them, but was really disapointed from the first game - Brazil DON'T need that kind of help! The next games were all excellent, especially enjoyed Netherlands vs Spain and England vs Italy :)
Waiting for Portugal vs Germany tonight
