This match is so much better already than the other one it's not even funny.

Great move from Serbia to start things off.

Part of the fun of the WC for me is listening to all the different national anthems. They have the lyrics scrolling across the screen for the broadcasts here and some of them are hillarious.

Very much looking forward to this. Serbia look excellent. Just wish Ghana had Essien, one of my favorite players.

I just wish this last one had been the 3:30am match for me instead of Germany v. Australia, which I'd love to watch. Two sweet ones tomorrow though: Denmark v. Netherlands, and Japan v. Cameroon. Eto'o v. Tulio

After Brazil v. North Korea, I'm pretty sure the average goal # for all matches in the tournament will be somewhere around 3.

Slovenia's first point, and first win in the WC ever. I remember what that feels like

Worst handball ever followed by the second worst keeping error ever.

oh, right. Never mind then.

Henry wannabe Looks like we'll STILL be the only team in this tournament with three points after this match.

We're completely playing the Greek fuckers off the pitch by the way. I have to say this is distinctly unfamiliar territory for South Korea at a World Cup

He's doing his national service in the Korean Army. We have a military football team. I technically outrank him I'm completely piss drunk by the way

Just one hour till kick off. Cooking in my house with some mates. One way or another, i will be piss drunk and unconscious in three hours time.

This has anti-climatic plopper written all over it.

This is one of those matches where you know it in your bones that nobody is going to score.

God France are terrible. Don't know why Uruguay feel the need to be playing so negatively against them. Could probably outscore them if they gave it a go.

Hadn't seen the US had been put up yet like, cheers. Just spent an hour there. Great site. Wish they could be bothered to write a more coherent review of South Korea, but oh well.

Man, I miss hosting the World Cup.

Oh my God it's starting today

I'd love to play England in a knockout match once, just for the banter on here

I feel better about holding them to one now.

Watching the WC outdoors in the crowd is a unique experience and the atmosphere is amazing. On the other hand, it's annoying as fuck to get there and back and I won't even be able to see the big screen properly unless I arrive three hours in advance and scout out a spot. Also it will be hot and sweaty and I will barely be able to reach into my icebox and pull out my beer.
