Let’s take a look at the group standings and talk about what we can expect to see going into Game 2 across the tournament.

The beautiful game was on full display and the men in yellow jerseys were responsible. Brazil claim 3 points in a dominant performance and show why they are ranked #1 entering the tournament.

In one of the more fun games of the tournament, Portugal claim 3 points while Ghana shows they are here to play. Ronaldo scores (a penalty) in his 5th World Cup, and both teams look like they have the quality to advance out of this group.

Switzerland get the always important first 3 point of the tournament. Cameroon searching for must need points going forward.

In the 4th 0-0 draw I can’t help but ask myself…”Is anybody trying to WIN in this tournament???”

Davies has a penalty saved by Courtois, who made several other great saves to boost Belgium to a 1-0 win. Both teams showed they intend to advance from this group.

The Spaniards came. They saw. They conquered.

Morocco and Croatia gave us something to fall back asleep to while Germany and Japan woke us up for the rest of the day in the most thrilling match of the tournament so far.

Australia is the first FAFO victim of this World Cup, scoring an early goal and poking the bear which would later devour them.

Four teams gain a point to keep their groups interesting from the very beginning. Ochoa makes play of the day with a Penalty save.
