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.

You're right about the number of good players in the Ghana set-up. Read one particular world cup blog last week which reasoned that Essien was Ghana, therefore they had no chance without him. Ahh, experts.

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.

Teams seem to be happy with a draw 1st game, but can't really judge the competition as a whole until we have seen the big guns in Spain,Brazil,Germany,Italy & Holland.

Hope the Germans smack the Aussies,(i have them in the work sweep)

Did Adrian Chiles just say England will play one of these two in the next round?

Someone better tell Serbia and Ghana to go home.

The Germans off to a flyer as usual

Typical German football though. Efficient? Yes. Getting the job done? Yes. Entertaining? No.

Ozil looking good, Germany are getting through the Aussie defence with ease, hopefully there's a couple more goals in it for them.

Can't believe Klose missed that, not in a World Cup game.

Made up for the miss now though.

2-0 Germany.
