I'm hesitant to think this, but I actually feel all these games today are going to tie. I don't see a team that's clearly better than the other. Big risk I'm taking, maybe I'll end up with 0 points today O.O ...

Colombia 2-2 Ivory Coast
Uruguay 2-2 England
Japan 1-1 Greece

Tim Cahill goal one of the greatest WC goals ever. Cahill goal is best goal of tournament. Could it be greatest goal of all time?

Van Bastens goal is yet to be beaten in a WC.

has this happend before ever? world champ not making second round?

Twice, France in 2002 and Brazil in 1974.

Say what? Brazil totally went out of its group in 1974! Poland defeated Brazil in the game for 3rd place after all.

It has happened twice - France in 2002 and Italy in 2010. It seems to be a European speciality ;)

Has happened to Brazil in 1966 and more than one time to Italy but forgot when.They talked about that on TV yesterday.

It has happened four times - also in 1966 and 1950 when Brazil and Italy respectively didn't make through the first round.

There is 1934 too, when Uruguay didn't even make it to the tournament...

I am sorry, but Colombia is simply a better team than Ivory Coast. There is no way around it!

Nay, Ivory Coast is the best African team I'm sure. I'm pretty confident (not that that means much in this tournament as the last week has proven) .

That's because the other African teams are either awful ( Nigeria), hopeless ( Cameroon) or only OK ( Ghana)!
