Italy and Czech Republic Win
Italy beat Ghana tonight 2-0 with goals from Andrea Pirlo who was superb all the way through and showed the Ghana midfield that, unless you are Argentina circa 1990, the best way to win matches is by scoring more goals than your opponents. Ghana were unlucky not to get a penalty in the second half but to be honest they were a stereotypical West African side, plenty of endeavour but bugger all up front or in the more creative areas of 
the field.
If England had Pirlo instead of Beckham and Cannavaro instead of JT we'd win the World Cup.
I left work early to watch the Czech Republic beat USA 3-0 and you have to feel sorry for the Czech side knowing that if they finish runners-up in this group they will probably play Brazil in the next round. We saw three good goals, two of them from Tomas Rosicky who will be playing for the Arse next season - looks like Mr Wenger managed to keep his myopia at bay long enough to spot another good player.
Tomas Rosicky celebrates the goal of the tournament (so far)

Couldn't have put that better myself! Looking forward to Tomas doing the same every fortnight at the New Emirates Stadium :-)
Ghana I thought were superb but just lacked the finishing! So frustrating...and to give the 2nd goal away from dire defensive mistakes was so sad...should have been at least one penalty...you know with two arms outstretched the defender was asking for it...but the ref decide no?????!!!!! The second was a 50/50 decision that the attacker ruined by diving - it was a foul so it was a penalty!

Rosicky was absolutely outstanding a perfect replacement for Bergkamp.
I have to disagre with you Span on Ghana, I thought they were woefully naive
