We have seen all the teams play now and on their showing so far - Spain (and possibly Argentina) looked to be the only team that could beat Brazil.

The German team have now played twice and made heavy weather of both games. So perhaps comparisons with England's one performance should wait until after tomorrow's match against T&T?

Poland tonight were only really interested in trying not to lose and did not place the German defence under anywhere near the sort of pressure that even Cosa Rica managed in the first game.

Even so - the Poles came close to scoring and the German team only managed to score their single goal in the 91st minute and against 10 men.
