SLOVENIA 2-2 USA

One of the things that I am most enjoying about this World Cup is that the 3pm kick offs start in the daylight and finish in the dark. Simple pleasures.

This was a pleasurable match though, regardless of photosynthesis.

Spain's approach play, coupled with Switzerland's resilience, are just about keeping Slov-US off the top spot in my Game of the Tournament chart. But this match also threw up the 2nd and 3rd best goals so far (I'll let you decide which is which).

Unfortunately, there are no prizes for finishing second or third: something I hope both these teams become acutely aware of next Wednesday afternoon. Just after it gets dark.

Here we go etc.



THE STORY SO FAR
