Day 3. When you look good losing....except if you're Greece

Day 3. What happened in Brazil today. In the group of "how the hell did those 4 teams get so lucky to be drawn together " Colombia showed Greece that you actually have to try to score to win a match (3-0) and Ivory Coast just needed the presence of the great one, Drogba, to score 2 quick goals to beat Japan (2-1). England lost to Italy 2-1, but looked like they can play, unlike other World Cup disasters. In what was acclaimed as one of the biggest surprises ever, Costa Rica beat Uruguay 3-1. Uruguay have been one of the 'it ' teams of the last 4 years, but, as I thought, now look like they are going back to their level they were at for a number of years...an average South American team that only qualified after beating Jordan in a play off.
