Chile is all over Honduras, and I imagine this is what will happen for most of the game. 2-0? I'm not sure Honduras can keep up. Chile is a really speedy, goal scoring team, if lacking a touch of control. I like them.

But, yesterday...Ivory Coast looked pretty good. I like Gervinho a lot (not sure about the hair, but his feet are great) and I am a fan of Yaya Toure. Barcelona are crazy to ship him out this summer. But Drogba was a non-entity for the twenty minutes he was on. It's a bit worrying for Côte, that he didn't seem to want the ball. Normally, Drogba is always showing, running, but he never seemed to turn up. Is a Drogba who doesn't get involved better than another player? Not completely sure. Portugal, snooze. Except Ronaldo's blistering shot, they didn't have much and Ronaldo wasn't much more than a few step overs. Go Elephants!

Brazil, were first round Brazil: idling, threatening to actually put their attacking machine into gear, getting goals anyway. Robinho's through ball to Elano was wonderful and he might actually be showing up to play. Otherwise, they are holding back, keeping things in reserve. The next game is huge. Go Elephants. And, hey, go North Korea. They will frustrate Portugal, and they can score, as they have proven. Go Korea and your paid fans....
