If you mean Mexico v Angola, yes. Not quite so much of a spectacle, but another battling display from one of the, very much, non-fancied teams.
I also saw a little of the Holland V Ivory Coast match, of which I thought the Dutch were a little fortunate to win. I thought the Ivory Coast played really well and could have been something of a dark horse had they not found themselves in the same group as Argentina and Holland.
Today we have the Czech Republic (very impressive against the USA) against Ghana, and Italy (not quite so impressive, in my opinion), against the USA (who really didn't do theselves justice against the Czech Republic). Could be a very interesting day.
PS
I didn't mean to ignore Portugal v Iran, but I see that as being so one sided as to be a no-hoper for Iran - eleven men behind the ball trying to keep the score down. Then again, I suppose no one would have given much for United's chances against Newcastle, all those years ago.
