Not disappointed at all by the blow-outs. You have to grow the game in hose countries if you are going to move towards the current showpiece which is football (or soccer if you live in the US). Even in football, if the world number 1 plays the world number 36 you expect a blow out.

The games obviously get tougher when the easybeats start getting eliminated. Seeing a team like japan really put it to the French and the Scots has been really great. There I see a team that has developed from being a compete minnow back in the late 80's to one that is strating to get competitive. Based on those performances I expect them to do well against the other weaker nations in their group. Of course we cannot expect Uruguay and Georgia to be doing that at present - they are right now where the Japanese were back in eth late 80's.

You will see some more blowouts, but the games will get better - Vive le Union [img]smile.gif[/img]
