It's matchday one and the excitement is building as the four year wait is down to 2hrs and some odd minutes. Germany and Costa Rica open the tournament and although highly unlikely I'm hoping for an upset, most of all I'm just hoping for a great start to this tournament.

Michael Ballack, Gemany's captain and perhaps best playmaker might miss the game due to injury.

On a sidenote, Wayne Rooney is match fit and awaiting the go ahead from team doctors. Although for England fans this is great news another possible injury might just damper just spirits...Steven Gerrard. As of right now there isn't much to report about Gerrard's injury except that Ericksson is saying that both Rooney and Gerrard are 50-50 for England's opener on Saturday.

I can't wait until kickoff. Here's hoping for a great game.
