Fifteen minutes 'till group D kicks off (5pm my time) - I've got high hopes that this group will provide plenty of entertainment! I reckon likely scores are Mexico 2 Iran 1 (edit: it was 3-1, but it was 2-1 for a while!), and Portugal 3 Angola 1. But I'll be way out with those probably. Who can tell?
Borgetti starts for Mexico - I'm hoping for some serious points from this man, so expect him to have a bad tournament!
Netherlands played well - they were in control for all bar a late ten minute period, really. The 1 -0 scoreline was a little more comfortable than it looked - Robben was genius, and van Persie played well too. That late van Persie free kick that nearly went in was nice, although he took an absolute age over it - I'm surprised he wasn't booked for timewasting. Good job though, as I think he's my captain today!
