The group stages are nearly up so here are a few updates from the tournament so far:


  • I just watched the Switzerland vs. Cameroon match. It was awesome! Switzerland scored early on, but after the second half Cameroon really rallied and scored two good goals to go through to the second round in second place. This is the first time in their history that Cameroon has progressed past the group stage. The scenes were quite something to watch.
  • The hosts Canada are through to the top of Group A after a fairly close grouping.
  • The USA is currently top of their group with one game remaining. The points are pretty funny: 4, 3, 2 and 1. It could be all to play for still.
  • England is clinging on to top two hopes; they are tied with France (ha!). With a barely superior goal difference to France, they pretty much have to better their result to get second place.
