what it be remembered for so far.
I think games have all been pretty good can not remember a world cup like it for goals, and hardly any draws.
For it will be slighty over shadowed by the worse overall refs i have ever seen

I thought the refs had been having a fairly good world cup other than some over-reacting (ie Drogba although he deserved it for his blatent handball!) That said the france v swiss and england v paraguay refs were awful!!!
Linesmen have been exceptional as well!

I think this WC has so far been one of the best I can remember, even the games between two shit teams are still entertaining and full of goals, infact I've not really seen a game and wanted to turn it over yet.
Long may it continue.

I must admit I don't know what you're talking abourt re. Crespo as I haven't seen that incident but IN GENERAL the linesman are getting a large proportion of decisions right and in any case they are at least keeping up with play which is really unforgiveable when they don't!

Well he made the run in between the two defenders, and chipped it in the goal over the keeper, the replay showed him onside, and then Crespo got a yellow card for either arguing or putting the ball in the net. But genreally the decisions have been good.

Overall, I think it's been full of good football, some surprising good football from African countries and in my opinion I can only think of 4 teams capable at the moment to win it, Brazil, Argentina, Holland and Spain.

Brazil don't have a hope if they play like they did against Croatia... same for England re. T&T/Paraguay :S

I don't think Brazil were poor tbh, I just think Ronaldo and Adriano weren't affective, but that's because Croatia generally had a hold of them, with the experience of Simic as capitano.

Could say the same for several teams so far but the fact of the matter is they got the points!

Yes, that's true, I still think either of them 4 will win it anyway.
