lol Germany 1 Spain 1 so Germany is ranked last right now in the group. Japan lost to Costa Rica 1 - 0. Morocco 2 Belgium 0 was another big upset.

combination of ecstatic Moroccan fan's and Dutch/Belgium hooligans not liking them is what my bet would be
from a quick viewing of Dutch news it seems to be mostly Moroccan fan's being a bit out of control

 
just a curious question from a non-hardcore soccer person..

why can't they come up with a way for the clock to stop during the actual game instead of adding stoppage time at the end of the half? if they can come up with way to temporarily paint a line on the field, surely the time thing would be a piece of cake?

I know you wouldn't want the ref to directly control the time, but could he send a signal to the official time keeper to start/stop the clock? he is obviously keeping track of it on a device, so why can't that device transmit a signal?

KISS principle, you just need a watch to referee a game.
 
They should space out the first stage a bit. Half of all games have been played, and we're just done with day 8 out of 28 or so.
4 games per day is too much for those of us who have to work, it was too much even over the weekend lol

No one really watches all the games live. Just key matches and rest highlights or skim through.
 
Maybe in North America, but I know people who take vacation days and watch almost every game. 🙂
I watch 1-2 games per day, the less games per day there are, the higher the percentage of games I'd watch.
In any case, my point still remains - the World cup is around a month, and half of all games played are crammed into basically the first one week.
