Great games yesterday - the Netherlands-Australia one was a classic case of a limited side playing way above themselves and almost shocking a genuine contender. Mind you, the Dutch defence looked a lot less impressive than their attack, although with De Jong in front of the back line, that tends to make up for a lot - provided he doesn't end up getting himself sent off. Chile looked tasty but Spain were dreadful. Croatia were not really that good but Cameroon were awful. In fact, I've been very disappointed in the African sides so far: Nigeria are average, Ghana didn't look the serious contenders they were advertised to be and Cote d'Ivoire struggled to beat a very average Japanese side and are not looking impressive against Colombia right now.
