World Cup 2006

It's been a disappointing World Cup so far, with continental kiasuism coming to the fore once again. England were terrible, and the only team that holds promise so far is the frightening Netherlands. Their one-touch passing was patently majestic and mouth-watering, and if Ruud van Nistelrooy can hit form early and link up with Robben then they look good.
The African sides have honoured their side of the bargain and look good. 2010 could be their year. The Asian teams look decent but could be found out by the Europeans. The Latin Americans have it their way; the tendency is for them to impose their style on others rather than vice versa.
All in all, I would rather see the helter-skelter of all-out attack. Will the real Germany please stand up?
