So the big story of the second day was the inability of England to beat USA. Are you really surprised ?
England are not a bad team. But they are not a very good one either. And despite the lucky goal that USA scored, the truth is that England laboured and failed to create chances that would have put the game away.
Great teams, tournament winning teams, create a plethora of chances and out teams away. England did neither.
USA punched above their weight.
The result was fair.

I'll be honest. I did not expect South Korea to beat Greece this convincingly, let alone be disappointed at not winning by more.
Greece were garbage.
South Korea, were, really good.

Argentina were better than expected, Nigeria were worse than expected.
It seemed, every time Argentina got the ball, they knew what to do with it. Nigeria on the other hand, did not.
Odd, disappointing, strange.
