He likes to mention "morons" quite a lot.

To be fair I can understand why he'd be interested in talking about them.

Surely there will be some goals in this game....

For all those who have mocked the American ownership of Manchester Utd, all I have to say is:

USA USA USA!

Awful competition so far, few goals and most games dull midfield battles, even the best game so far, yesterday's Argie/Nigeria game was nothing special.

It's all been a bit cagey so far, but then again it usually is at the start as it is seen as imperative not to lose your first game.

Hopefully Germany will spank the Ockers tonight to spark it off a bit.

2-0 to the Germans would do nicely

Don't remeber that Serbian lad getting a first yellow.

Good question. Got to feel for all those people who backed Serbia at 66/1 to win the thing

Going back to England, I thought they rarely strung a few passes together and if they can't learn to keep possession they won't go far. I also thought second half especially they went back to the darkest days of English football - long ball to the "target-man" and did it badly. If they can't offer more creativity than that they'll struggle to get out of the so-called easy group.

I was expecting a bit more from Serbia, but I'd forgotten that Ghana had quite a few decent players and they've definitely had more general threat, although the Serbs have had a couple of decent chances.
