Daily World Cup Roundup

Korea v Togo
The Koreans look to be on form. Will watch a bit more of the match before deciding too much about their prospects in what seems an interesting group.
A win in Europe should do them well though, and possibly quieten some of the knockers of their 2002 performance.
Togo sacked their coach last week, and then reinstated him before the game, seems an interesting approach.

France v Switzerland
The Swiss have a good recent record against the French. The French have a poor record, not having scored a goal in Korea/Japan 2002, and not starting with one here, may be wondering what has happened. We await with interest the reverse fixtures.

Brazil v Croatia
I am not sure what to think here. Everyone seems to think that Brazil played below their best, and Croatia are in good form. I will probably hold my judgement till later in the group phase. Australia has beaten Brazil before, but I am not sure they will next time they meet.
This game is a good reminder of something else. This is the World Cup, any game is tough, and every team is good. No one does well at this level by fluking it.
