The vaunted Czech Republic just gave up a goal to Ghana 70 seconds into the match. Given how thoroughly the Dutch and Argentines have dominated Group C, it might be time to proclaim Group E the toughest at this tournament. And the Americans, who were quarterfinalists four years ago, could be the worst of the four.
Three hours to game time in Kaiserslautern. The media center here is already packed, as were the trains from Mannheim 3 1/2 hours ago. It's a tiny city (only about 100,000 inhabitants), and the stadium is on a hillside that's part of the picturesque Palatinate Forest, so it's not the most accessible place.
On the train here, you could pick out the tourists -- they were the ones taking a picture of the railroad sign at Frankenstein a few miles down the tracks (I didn't have a good angle from my seat, so no photo).
More later...
