Pretty good game!

Exciting til the end :), somehow i think Germany deserved to win and poland also getting a tie.

But tomorrow im gonna wait all day long for England - T&T

and then finally SWEDEN - Paraguay !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

As I said, hopefully both Sweden and England win and we?ll have a match for the group victory on tuesday, CANT WAIT!

Great match, Germany were unlucky to only have 1 goal. I dont understand why the poles didnt try to attack more, their run in the WM now depends on the other teams. the atmosphere here is crazy, people are still partying around, firecrackers etc :D

Boo Brazil! How can you choose them, guys?! Especially with Pele-turned-Maradona (atleast the weight) Ronaldo? They were horrible the other day...

I'm favour of Germany. It should of been them in 2002, and it should be them in this one. Just let Oliver Kahn play!

how can someone choose them? hmm let me think......the fact that they are the greatest footballing nation in the world wouldnt have anything to do with it, would it? and in 2002, Germany survived because of Oliver Kahn, their games were nothing to what Brasil played, mind u i am a goalkeeper when playing football for my local club, and Oliver was great that tournament, but in the end Brasil was better

roll on england vs trinadad and tobbago. 6 hours :D

Theres all this hype for brazil but judging by there performance against croatia there not going to be as difficult as everyone thinks, anyone notice how much weight ronaldo has put on! he barely got a touch of the ball

Brazil striker Ronaldo has undergone medical examinations in a clinic after complaining of dizziness.

The 29-year-old's below par performance against Croatia on Tuesday was greeted by vehement criticism from observers, who attacked his lumbering display and portly appearance.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have now revealed that the forward told team doctors on Wednesday that he felt light-headed and out of sorts.

Ronaldo was sent for examinations but nothing was found and he is set to return to training on Thursday.

"Ronaldo complained of feeling dizzy on Wednesday, June 14, and was submitted to a medical check-up and additional examinations," said the CBF on its official website.

"No abnormality was found. Ronaldo is, therefore, in normal conditions for training."

The incident is bound to bring back memories of his similarly dazed performance in the World Cup final of 1998, when he suffered a mysteriously setback prior to kick-off.

He does seem a bit more overweight than he used to be, but he has never exactly been the fittest player in the world. He still produces the goods most of the time.

No one can doubt Ronaldo's credentials, as his goalscoring record is average's out at 0.75 goals a game, which is a world class record.

He did look a bit out of sorts though on Tuesday, but hopefully he can turn everything around and go on to produce the form that we know he is capable of.
