That'll do it

Final score, Germany 4, Costa Rica 2.

A very, very entertaining opener to the World Cup. The Germans have ton of scoring power - they scored four even without main man Michael Ballack in the lineup. The Costa Ricans showed their dangerous enough to contend for the No. 2 spot in Group A and - more importantly - showed that Germany is very very vulnerable on its backline.

The mistakes Germany made agains Costa Rica cost them two goals. What will it cost them once they get out of group play?

Okay, that's all for now. I don't think I'll do a running diary for the Ecuador-Poland match, unless the public demands it.
