The Brazil Vs. Red Commies, I mean, N. Korea, was a lot different than I expected. I think Brazil was way too cautious, and tried to play through the middle too much. They scored better when coming from the wings.
The reason why Brazil and so many other countries play so cautiously is because it could be fatal to lose your first game. Same for the comment of going through the middle. By keeping your outside offensive players standing wide on the field you create a big area where play might occur. That can be dangerous.
Of course this makes for boring games and that's what most games have been.
Once we get to the final games in the group phase you'll see countries taking more risks if they have to win to qualify for the knock-out phase. That might lead to some entertaining games.

Holy shit! The swiss come so damn close to making it 2-0...
A shame that anti-soccer won this game. Let's wait & see if Spain can turn the odds around next game.

Okay, so basically- if you suck compared to another team, do you just put everyone on defense and hope to get lucky on the other end? If so, it seems to work pretty good for the teams that suck.
Yes that's pretty much the definition of playing anti-soccer.
And every now and then the better team/country gets royally fucked. Like Spain today.

Oooh there are some hot-ass bitches on South Africa's team! Go South Africa!
LOL, you're right they did. And no, I don't need a new team for tomorrow- I was already rooting for Mexico!
El Tri, baby!
It seems most of the first round matches end up with a lot of anti-soccer and playing things safe. That makes for a dull game. Let's hope it gets more exciting next week. Switzerland got lucky but the media won't say it.
So far, the only "good" soccer I've seen in the Cup has been from Germany, IMHO.
what a day of games .... wow
Argentina's individual talent made all the difference in that game. Too bad for South Korea but they have 1 final game left.
Currently Nigeria playing with 10 vs 11 eager Greeks. Should be an entertaining 2nd half!
Definitely rooting for Mexico tonight!

Messi and Tevez, with Maradonna as coach. Talk about a dream team!
Time to go. Mexico is playing.
I think felix is partying all night long haha!
Definitely a much deserved win over them fricken horrible frogs. Buh-bye you French mofos!
