What I wonder about the World Cup (and the Olympics for that matter) is why so many countries which are in such dire straights, economically & socially, are willing to spend so much money on meaningless showcase sporting events that never, ever, generate a positive ROI.

Meaningless?
Sport is very powerful, it can unite a nation, give them something else to concentrate on.
The lack of participation in international sport helped to bring an end to Apartheid in South Africa...so I don't think you can dismiss the importance of sport so easily.
It is aruably, in some cases, more powerful than politics.

I've wondered that at times. Maybe these countries aren't as dire as they say. In either case, you have to figure there are private sponsorships going on.
NEXT!
I'm just waiting for Italy to win their next match.I would agree with you there.

I don't know, Uruguay and Costa Rica are playing strong. I don't know all the standings but you still got Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador. There still a ways to go.

I thought that's what I heard. I wasn't really paying attention.
I'll take Ghana.
Argentina spent way too much time in the Iranian side of the field.

I thought there was a lot of sloppy play on both sides.

Germany v Ghana is game of the tournament so far ...... both sides going for the win
I'd say Ghana much more than Germany, especially once Klose leveled it at 2. Germany had no sense of urgency where Ghana was looking to run. Appeared as though Germany was content with a 2-2 tie. Once again, Ghana outplays their opponent and gets no result.

I'm amazed how open these group games have been with many sides going for it. Makes for a really good spectacle

I'd agree. And the commentators and analysts have been equally caught off guard by the unanticipated determination of the smaller nations. Good matches = great Cup.
