So far IMO England is the best team of the tournament along with Paraguay . We are lucky that England not in our group. Very excited to see them live on 11th oct.
So are the matches being produced on TV by Sony or something? I was hoping that because this is a FIFA event that I would finally see a match in India with beautiful green grass and everything but it almost looks the same as when I watch an I-League match but in HD. I have seen pictures from these stadiums with the beautiful green grass and even in ISL I see it but here it looks like shit.
Japan has the easiest ride to knockout among other asian team... currently they are in a strong position to qualify The performance against france can give us an idea on how good is the side..
