Can somebody help me with something: whose feed are we getting in NZ? Is it BSkyB? It intrigues me that there's only one commentator and there are no sideline reporters, as it if was meant as a second-grade export.

Gio I think we're getting the 'official' FIFA feed. FIFA are…

Has anyone else seen the McDonald's 'we support the World Cup' ad with the three guys on the couch?

Everything that is ridiculous about football, in the most expensive sports ad of all time.

I'd love to stick that Mexico midfield in with Uruguay's strike force. Might have seen a little bit more in the way of goal action. Dos Santos the player of the first day for me.

A classic group first round, lots of huffing and puffing…

It it just me, or are they implying that football fans are gay? The meaningful looks are just a touch brokeback mountain.

Sure, they don't win matches, but neither do New Zealand. They have amazing spirit, and ethos.

One could reminisce about France v. W. Germany 1982, or France v. Brazil 1986, or Cameroon v. England in 1990... there have been some good games.
