Only the games with the 'big' teams in. So far I've watched:

South Africa vs. Mexico (OK, not 'big' teams but it's the opening game!)
France vs. Uruguay (2nd half, which I hadn't, was shit)
Argentina vs. Nigeria (pretty entertaining, and as Drofder says, the Argentine defence is pretty poor so it's hit or miss whether or not they'll win the tournament)
England vs. USA (I think we deserved to win due to the amount of chances we created and the nature of the USA goal, but our finishing was terrible unfortunately)

I won't be watching much over the next few days as I have to revise for my final exam on Wednesday, but after that I intend to continue watching games involving the favourites.

Currently I'm sticking by my prediction for Argentina to win. Sure, their defence isn't great, but we've yet to see Brazil and Spain to perform in this world cup, so I'm sure they'll look dodgy in places too. I doubt Germany will win without Ballack, although they'll still probably do quite well (quarters/semis).

I'm trying to watch most games but stuggling due to being ill for the last few days (currently partially deaf in one ear :/). Add this on to the fact that watching is just like living in a room full of fucking wasps (ban these fucking things already...).

I have watched:
SA vs Mex
Arg vs Nga
Kor vs Gre
Eng vs USA
Alg vs Slo (2nd half)
Ger vs Aus (live now)

1st half, want 45 minutes of my life back

Same, brilliant match
My bits are in green ;)

(also watched France vs. Uruguay 2nd half, terrible).

Germany match was very impressive indeed, interesting to see how well they played even without a load of their experienced players who are either out due to injury or retirement. Having said that, maybe Australia aren't a particularly challenging team, so I think I'll reserve judgement on their cup winning prospects until the next round (or perhaps even the next 2 group games if they completely dominate them too).

Not to take anythign away from Germany (especially as to the current games ,tehy were the best) but they were playing a weak side and a team further weakened by a awful call from a shitty ref.
