Looking at it from my perspective Domenech and France really dropped the ball, I know its only one game, but this one was on a platter for them.

21 of the 23 Uruguayans were playing in their first World Cup and it showed, they were nervous as hell and Forlan and Suarez were fighting all game, producing nothing, Suarez was offside practically the whole game and the one time they actually worked together Forlan lashed it wide, and they played with 10 men for over 10 minutes.

Essentially the Uruguay points were there for the pillaging, how much more could France have possibly asked for to go their way?

Its only one game, but generally speaking 5 points in the group stage gets you to the round of 16, an early win puts you on the right path.

I'm looking forward to the Argentina/Nigeria game tomorrow, Nigeria has a better chance at a win there than most people think in my opinion.

England/USA will be entertaining for the spectacle, but I'd wager the actual play will likely be pretty poor.
