Old powerhouses Holland and Argentina have looked the most impressive so far by successfully negiotating tough openers, with Robben and Saviola being the stand out players. Ivory Coast looked like they had enterprise and talent, and had Drogba chasing down lost causes rather than the customary sulking and diving he does for Chelsea. The final 'Group of Death' team, Serbian & Montenegro, found their players criticising their own coach for their lack of invention against the Dutch.
The next set of matches in this group could provide the surprises fans are waiting for. I predict that the team that wears orange in the Ivory Vs Holland game will come out on top.
Germany joined the party in scoring 4 goals, but uncharacteristially conceded 2. Could this be the first German team the public embraces?
England and Portugal looked laboured and disjointed so far, and could easily have conceded equalisers if Paraguay or Angola had been blessed with a touch more quality.

That's kind of like saying the T&T fans would celebrate their draw against Sweden by sparking up a fatty...

I will try and source pictures of the Swede with the rat's tail as soon as one is available.
