Germany is looking real solid. Granted, Australia's not much of a competitor. But still.

EDIT: Wow, 2 in 5 minutes. Clinical shit.

I expected this from Germany against an opponent like Australia. I'm expecting similar figures in their next two games as well.
However I'm not sure if they can go as deep into this tourney as they usually do. I'm not sure why, just a feeling I have. I will be rooting for them all the way though. Germany is my team since Sweden didn't even qualify.

Please:

NOVA.SCOTIA (CBC) - Television viewers are incensed. Bloggers are up in arms. And even some of the players have already had enough of the sound.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z.

Now, FIFA World Cup officials are trying to come up with some way to control or even ban the ubiquitous vuvuzela a plastic horn that is drowning out almost everything else at the global soccer tournament in South Africa.

Multiple media reports on Sunday say organizing committee head Danny Jordaan is looking for a way around the problem.

"We have heard from the broadcasters and other individuals and it is something we are evaluating on an ongoing basis," Jordaan told Sky Sports.

He also admitted to BBC News that banning the horns might be looked at as an option.

Organizers have made public announcements asking fans not to blow vuvuzelas when national anthems are being played or announcements made, but the din is otherwise running from the time stadium gates open until the games are over.

Patrice Evra, France's captain, told the media that the noise had something to do with his team's poor performance against Uruguay, a game that ended in a draw.

"We can't sleep at night because of the vuvuzelas. People start playing them from 6 a.m.," he told the media. "We can't hear one another out on the pitch because of them."

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz.

Jordaan said he would much prefer if local South African fans would return to their old tradition of singing.

"It has always been a great generator of a wonderful atmosphere in the stadiums and we will try to encourage [fans] to sing because that is the strength," he said.

"In the days of the struggle [against apartheid] we did not blow anything, we were marching and singing. All through our history it is our ability to sing which really inspires and draws the emotions."

So does the vuvuzela. Apparently, it's not the worldwide emotion that organizers were hoping for.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz.

Just got back from Montreal. I cant believe the England game, what a let down. I busted my ass to get from the F1 qualyfing to a pub in old town and then we lose by giving up one of the worst goal keeping howlers known to man.

I finally decided i am going to support argentina & Spain .
I never would have guessed

Ned vs Den
Jpn vs Cmr
Ita vs Par

So lets have your thoughts please...

For some odd reason I think Denmark will play well today and give Holland a hardish time… a draw or Ned win
Cameroon with all the Buzzzzzzzzzzzing will win this one… last time they played each other was in 2007 and Japan won 2-0 so its payback time
Paraguay is going to get hammered today… I think Italy will come out wanting to better Germanys score differential
