It's all livened up in the last couple of days. A clueless, gutless France lose to spunky Mexico (now officially my second team, until I change my mind).
Also Mexico's goalie is the shortest man who has ever played football - FACT.
Greece come from behind to beat Nigeria, who shot themselves in the foot with a petulant kick. African teams not doing at all well = bad for tournament.
Gabby Logan sings the Beatles to a completely bemused Fabio Capello and gives him a bottle of wine for his birthday. He doesn't drink.
Maradona kisses all his team and slags off Platini and Pele. I hope they stay in it for as long as possible because he's completely nuts and is easily the greatest character in the game. You have to love him - you have to!
'Ambush marketing' is the most popular thing to talk about after vuvuzelas.
Argentina look good. I mean, really good. Mind you, so did Germany in their first game, and they LOST to Serbia today (dark horses, remember). Sadly for the Germans, they were the victims of an appalling referee and can feel very hard done by.
So can the USA, who deserved their disallowed third goal to stand. They were MAD - especially boss Bob Bradley who the commentator said resembled Hannibal Lecter. It was a great comeback against Slovenia to gain a 2-2 draw.
And that looks like the best result from England's point of view.
And England play next.
And I'm going home to watch it!
