Mexico 1, Cameroon 0
Netherlands 5, Spain 1
Chile 3, Australia 1
Three (very quick) thoughts on the games
- I thought the commentators for the Mexico-Cameroon game were poor (partly because the play-by-play guy was a complete homer). The referees were worse. Mexico had 2 legitimate goals disallowed.
- Robin van Persie's header for the Netherlands' first goal was a thing of absolute beauty. And the way the Netherlands came out and went toe-to-toe with Spain skill-wise was a welcome difference from their terrible overly physical style of play in the 2010 Finals.
- Australia just might put up some resistance after all.
