Group of Death looks good!

A Arjen Robben strike helped the Netherlands defeat Serbia and Montenegro 1-0, though what the Serb defence was thinking trying to play the offside trap against Robben (you know the guy who can run down the line in a blink of an eye) is something only the coach can answer. Still both sides have chances and the group is living up to its name as the Group of Death as all four teams looked good.
Mexico scored twice in the final 20 minutes to defeat Iran 3-1. Helped by a change in tactics at half-time, the Mexicans won but I still can't see why people say they are the darkhorse of the competition. I mean forget winning, they'll be lucky to get past the second round.
Angola lost 0-1 to Portugal after a Pauleta goal in a surprising match. Surprising because no one was sent off! Figo was great and showed that though old, he still have what it takes to perform at the highest stage.
