Everytime Italy is the underdog or has such a bad start they end up being the WC champions. In 82 they tied 3 times in the first stage and qualified 3rd in their group. You all know how that story ends...

Paraguay are actually underated. They are an awesome team just not capable of winning anything or anywhere near world winners imo. Italy sucked first half but looked very decent in the 2nd.

I still hate the seeding system... Just wish it was completly random. I know it might cause the final to be shit but hey It would make the cup fair and even more enjoyable in my eyes.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but how does this tournament work? I was under the impression it was like a normal system, but someone told me it had to do with points scored or some nonsense. Is that true?

Each group is composed of 4 teams. Every team play 3 times. A victory is 3 points, a tie is 1 point and a loss is 0 points. The first and the second of each group is qualified for the 1/8 finals. From the 1/8 finals, a loss means you're eliminated.

Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense, thank you. They way they were describing it before it made me think that it was based on actual points scored during the games.

Goal differential (goals scored - goals allowed) is the first tiebreaker if two teams end up tied on points. So in that sense, it is something worth mentioning. But it only comes into play in the event of a tie in the standings.

Holy cow I can't believe the Swiss beat Spain! Clumsy goal from the neutrals, and Xabi Alonso deserved a goal on that cracker of a shot, but the result stands. They've got to be stunned in Spain right now.

First game I watched completely, even in the exam period I find time to watch Spain (and England) play. But boy, was I dissappointed. Goal was partly Casillas fault though, but still, big dissappointment.
And hopefully Iniesta isn't out for too long, he's so good and gentle with the ball, amazing player!
