Belgium 2, Algeria 1; Brazil 0, Mexico 0; Russia 1, South Korea 1

Good grief, who played yesterday? I barely remember.

People will be praising the Mexicans’ effort against Brazil. Not that it was bad; but as I said before, this Brazilian team is nothing special.

I’m glad the Algerians got a goal. Last World Cup, they didn’t.

Fabio Capello, do you demoralize your goalies? Last World Cup, in the first game, your English goalie allowed a weak shot to trickle in; and this time, your Russian goalie did the same.
