Could be lots of goals in todays games, I suspect (cue 0-0 draws).

i think that on paper the current dutch squad has their least impressive defense ever, but nevertheless they didn't even look that bad. although serbia and montenegro started way too defensively and paid the price for it when they were unable to change their playing style in the second half. after the game their players even openly criticised petkovic for his tactics. everything's still possible in group c though.
guus' luck from 4 years ago with south korea seems to be continuing with australia. cahill should have been sent off and japan given a penalty. other than that a good result for australia.
group d games today will be interesting; czechs leading 1-0 vs usa at the moment. but i'm mostly curious about italy vs ghana.
