    Top European teams have looked weak
    The story of the cup so far is that the Latin American teams have been the talking point of the WC. Uruguay and Mexico have almost qualified, Argentina have almost topped the group, Brazil are looking good, Chile looked great and even Paraguay have a shot.

    The big European nations have been big flops so far, France hasn't scored a goal and hasn't got a point, Italy scraped a draw, Spain had an epic fail, England don't look like a top European team the way they have been playing, Portugal looked awful.

    Only the Netherlands have impressed and they have been playing a more fluid, attacking style, more similar to the Latin Americans.

    Its still too early to talk but the big European teams really need to up their game or there could be an all Latin American final.

    Agreed 100%

    Some of the Euro games are painful to watch.

      Most of the European A leagues are filled with players from other countries and not their own. I think maybe England has most of its players actually playing in England. Maybe Italy too.

          When WC isn't in Europe Euro temas generally don't do well.

                European teams were over rated coming in, especially France & Italy IMO. England's "flop" so far is a bit surprising, but it shows to me that the coaches here know how to shut England down. Mark Rooney well and make someone else beat you.

                I'm gonna have to buy a Uruguay jersey I think. I had them as a big play to advance out of their group at slightly better than even odds.
