You would not believe how hyper I am right now, the Ghana vs Czech Republic game finished just seconds ago and I'm just bouncing around. It's not because I'm rooting for the US, sorry yanks, it's just that the group is turning out to be exactly what it was hyped to be, a group of death, and I sure hope that the USA beats Italy, because it will put all four teams on 3 points and make the last two games such mouth-watering matchups. Woohoooo!!! It's a shame that they play the games at the same time, which I understand (if they weren't, then the very last game could be boring as the result may not count for anything) .

But also, I'm excited for Africa, I predicted that African teams are sleeper teams, everyone knows that they have a lot of talent, and the Ivory Coast were unlucky to have to play Argentina and Holland. As it happens, the Ivory Coast nearly drew, and could have beaten, either team. So finally, Ghana, after outshooting Italy, gets the goals, beat the Czechs and they deserve to go a long way. (I'm sure Pat is happy too!)

Some may contend the red card given to the Czech defender, but contact was made. It's true that the Ghanians made a meal of every contact, including this one, but contact was there, and being the last defender, it was an automatic red card. Credit to the referee, he double-checked and took a little time to make that decision.

Ghane 2 - Czech Republic 0.

Earlier, I was watching the Iran - Portugal game. I was rooting for the Iranian because I bought them in the fantasy auction I had with friends, and up until the first goal, I truly believed the Iranians had control, they got better and better throughout the second half in holding possession and attacking, they even had a great chance after the first goal. But it was all in vain. You should check out the first portugese goal, man, Beauuuutiful.

Portugal 2 - Iran 0
