I agree - refereeing very consistant and has allowed the play to flow. Thought the ref in Brazil game gave them a few concessions - in particular their encroachment of the 10 yards at free kicks and the Rivaldo disgrace.
Argentina/Italy both impressive. Jury is out on Brazil/Spain. Gutsiest efforts by Senegal,Ireland and Sth Africa.
I think France are great bets at $3 to top their group. Should win the remaining two games after the "scare" and can't see Senagal coming up again twice.
Football has been first class - as you would hope/expect.
