It's been great so far. Please put your match reports and thoughts here.

Happy with Uruguay for winning vs Egypt, thoug not happy with the play of the team. Spain-Portugal the best match by far up to now. Awesome Iceland, drawing the two times world champion Argentina, Messi included. Iceland players aren´t even full profesional players, for example the goalkeeper is a film director, the coach is a dentist, etc. 

Go Uruguay!

Spain - Portugal ? happy.png

That may be the final.

we have yet to see two of the favourites, Germany and Brazil.

may be a tad too early for the celebrations...

England expected to win their first game as it will be against a "nobody" team. if they are lucky then Tunisia will be on the same level as Saudi Arabia.

of course it will be quality entertainment to watch how badly they fail in their next few games...!

the way Iceland plays is reminiscent of Greece at Euro 2004...just a thought.

needless to say, nearly any mediocre to below average team of 10 players + Ronaldo = world cup champion contender =)

Lots of upsets so far. Tunisia to win 1 - 0 !

Spain has been so far the most convincing team in my opinion, except for its horrible goalkeeper

What I am is overworked because two guys have booked an evening off to watch it.

But OK, cottonsock, just for you - Go England! (waves pompoms).

We friends again?

De Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. anyone can make a mistake.

I agree, with Brazil's and Germany's dull performances I'd say it's between Argentina, Spain and Portugal.

Although that said Germany are the kind of guys who could lose their first game miserably and then win every other game in the tournament 2-0

tbh Germans looked rather sluggish and aimless yesterday. they were being carved up by Mexico's speed and agility. that was how Brazil should have played in 2014, and even how they should be playing now.

players like Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Schurle, and some others were key in their world cup winning team, but with the combination of some retiring and some being left off the starting lineup, the squad is facing challenges. they are lacking the team chemistry that is so important.
