Who's watching World Cup? What do you think about games so far?

This thread is barren. I am disappointed.

I am. Brazil looks weak, Germany and Holland and Argentina look good, Spain horrible, England, typical, Italy, good. The US, ok so far. What about you?

I'm loving it, and a couple of my friends are watching.

Personally, i'd love to see Germany take it all, I think they're a shoe in for third, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Brasil v Germany final. I'm not quite sure the brackets would let that happen though.

I'm liking the US start too, with how Portugal played, the US should be in a good spot as long as they can deal with playing against a bunch of dirty players.

Brasil is not that great, but Scolari's only interested in result. I believe they are still among the strongest contenders.
Holland was awesome against Spain, but not that good vs Australia. If Australia beats Spain they could go through

Germany is strong as always, though they had some help from referee first game. Overall, they'll be the one to beat.
Argentina, well, they can go far if their best players are on a high level. But Messi never plays well on big championships. Hopefully that changes.
England and Italy, they are always the contenders, even though England failed miserably the first game. But I wouldn't count them off just yet.
I believe there are some other good teams, like Russia, Chile, Mexico, Ivory Coast, South Korea... Bet one of them will be a surprise.

All in all, not the best football/soccer I've seen, but plenty of goals so far and I hope it continues

EDIT: I forgot bout US, they had a great first game, but they lack terribly in stamina, two of their players had the same muscle injury last game due to not being prepared for the game well.
