The First Day Finally Arrives

WOW... what an opener. Germany v the ticos was a great game. Never before had 6 goals been scored in the opening match. The first and last strikes from the Germans were classics. 3 goals in the first 18 minutes, you couldnt have asked for anything better. Once Germany get Ballack back they should use that home-field advantage even more to boost their side! Then again their defense looked sketchy to any team that could get posession and make some good thru passes.
The second game proved me wrong. Ecuador handled the Poles extremly well. While the Poles will count themselves unlucky to get any goals with two hitting the woodwork, the South American's defense looked stellar.
