And so it begins

The first World Cup 2006 game is over, with Germany beating Costa Rica 4-2. Good game with some nice goals, including a wonderful forty yarder. I was surprised that Costa Rica stayed as close as they did.

Looking forward to rest of the competition - Poland v Ecuador is on in an hour.

The German deffence looked like Swiss cheese. Germany will have problems with more experienced teams. I must say that the last German goal was spectacular.

I agree completely regarding the German defense. I think however - as I watch the Poland/Ecuador game - that the Germans will advance, just not go very much further.

The Poles didn't play too well, I wasn't expecting that loss. I think the announcer referred to the Polish defense as "the terra-cotta army"... ouch.

Sheesh, with three games a day how am I supposed to get anything done?
