FIFA World Cup - week 1 complete.

Hello.

1 week of the biggest spectacle on earth down 3 to go. The opening ceremony and opening match were great, but were dampened by the news that Nelson Mandelas great-grand daughter was killed in a car accindent. So far im in 2 different minds, in 1 mind im delighted that big Guns like Spain, France and England have suffered disappointment in there first few games, but in another im disappointed because I would've like to seen Messi, Rooney, Ronaldo and co. light up Africa, but none of the 'star' players have delivered amazing performances. Anyway, in my opinion, the best game of the tournament so far was the Germany v Australia game where the Germans demolished the convicts 4-0 or the All Whites v Slovakia game, where the All Whites centre-back Winston Reid delivered a good header from an excellent Shane Smeltz cross in the 93rd minute to give all, All White fans from all around New Zealand like me pure delight. It also makes me feel proud that most of the side we fielded were kiwis and in '82(only other time the All Whites made it to the Cup finals)the majority of the team were born in England. Next up is the Azzuri who i reckon will be eager to get a win after a 1-all draw with Paraguay. Im predicting 2-0 or 2-1 to the Azzuri.

thanks,
Thomas
