All in all, I have been enjoying watching the games. I look forward to watching the Netherlands tomorrow and hope that Eljero Elia gets on the field.

Affelay has really impressed me. I hope to see more of him. Stekelenburg need to keep a clean sheet and Van Persie must score a brace. I've got a lot riding on that game.
Germany were devastating last night. Ballack getting injured worked in their favour. Khedira, Oezil and Muller look like they've been playing together for years. Credit to Louw - also for sticking with Podolski and Klose. That said, Cacau looked the goods too. To be fair though, it looked like the Aussies stopped playing after going 2-0 down.
I've been really impressed with the referees. Brilliant offside call in RSA vs MEX, and handballs, dives and studs-up tackles all well called. I've only seen them get 2 marginal offsides calls wrong sofar. Not bad for 8 games.
