Italy - Ghana - best game so far!
Czech were also playing very well. Wonder how they will play against better teams.

damn I had to miss all 3 games yesterday because I had to go visit friends of my GF.
I had hoped that Japan would win against australia. What was the end score of USA - Czech republic? And Italy - Ghana?

USA - Czech: 0-3
Italy - Ghana: 2-0.

Ghana deserved a draw. Lack of experience killed them

And they didn't get a penalty they should have got!

again?!

EDIT: if Poland had won with Croatia 1:0 just before the tournament, and Brazil won 1:0 yesterday - does that mean, that Poland is as good as Brazil?

I think Ronaldo is still a good player as he got his big talents in soccer. But his lack of play and Real Madrid's poor performance made him a bit lack of confidence and out of shape.

I think the team and the coach want to put him in the squad in teh group games, trying to boost his confidence and performance back. The have rooms for trying that in group games thou.

I think this time Brazil was playing for winning not for spectacular football. That's why the game wasn't as good as expected.

I think too, that Ronaldo has put on some weight
