So first thoughts of the World Cup are tough. It’s not usual for us fans of the round ball to have so many inputs from so many angles. With that said these are my first impressions —
1. Holland will win it all.
2. Spain is ridiculously talented and I can guarantee Cesc is in the starting 11 next game.
3. I thought Germany’s performance was exciting but unconvincing. I still don’t like the way their midfield interacts but… they play like German cars run… well.
4. South Korea looked like a true team out there… they are going to be tough to beat.
5. England will be England and get through… I think they are due for a huge crushing of a side.
6. I think the USA will struggle in their next match and will not make it through. Lando has to carry this team and who knows how bad Timmy Ho’s injury is…
7. First matches in the World Cup usually produce the biggest upsets and the lowest scores… and I think we’ve sort of seen that. Teams play tight. It’s a new atmosphere — I think in Round 2 and 3 we’ll see many more highlights of the beautiful game. Especially from the like of Ronaldo and Messi — I think Ronaldo is due for an unreal goal — he looks determined. His team looks meh…
That is all — see you down the pub on Friday.
