Ok.. most of you know that I am a pretty big fan of the beautiful game :-) The Cup was opened with an awesome match between the host team Germany against Costa Rica. This was a great match and the germans pulled out a 4-2 win. Six goals scored in the opener ! What more can you ask for :-)

England "squeaked" a win in their first match. Beckham bounced it off an oposing player into the goal for a score (the only one in the game)

I would have to say that the best match so far has been Sweden vs Trinidad & Tobago.

Trinidad is the smallest nation to ever make it to the world cup. It's their first time to make it to the tourney as well. At the last minute they changed Goalkeepers before the game started. Shaka Hislop started (his first world cup appearance ever) at 37 years old. He's played int he EPL for Westham for those that follow the game). He played a spectacular game. Trinidad played only 1 man forward and played a spectacular defensive game. They played for the tie and got it. Even though the game was a tie, it was a clear victory for Trinidad !!! Sweden is now tied with Trinidad for points in their group when they were the clear favorite coming into the match. If you didn't get a chance to watch it.. try to catch the match in replay sometime in the next couple of weeks. It's a GREAT example of why I love the World Cup !!

Right now, Moxico is playing Iran. I'm recording it and will watch it later today.

The one thing that I find incredibly irritating is the selection of the games that are shown in high Definition. It looks like the US teams opener against the Czech's will only be broadcast in regular definition. It s a SHAME because the eclarity of the high def games makes it worth every penny I spent on my TV :-) PLEASE someone broadcast the US game in high def... anyone at COX listening ? :-)
