A World Cup for who wants it the most?

After Spain got their behinds handed to them yesterday in a 5-1 thrashing by the Netherlands, it became exceedingly clear that this World Cup was going to be leagues better than South Africa 2010, and was going to be a world cup for you wants it the most.

That realization was only confirmed by the subsequent match in which Australia gave Chile a run for their money in a match that was expected to be a walk in the park, after all even I can be quoted as saying the Australia should stick to rugby. Though Australia lost, they didn't go down without a fight, like people thought.

Then today, Costa Rica v Uruguay, WOW. If you remember, Uruguay made it to the semi finals of the 2010 World Cup and with huge names like Forlan, Cavani and Suarez, this game was pretty much supposed to be open and shut and it was all going according to plan, Cavani opening the scoring with a penalty. Then the script got flipped on its head as apparently Costa Rica found its fighting spirit, the will to win and pulled back 3 goals to end the match 3-1. Clearly it was a matter of who wanted to win the most.

Guessing in this world cup has been disastrous thus far, with a few stunners already and its only day 3. Let's see what continues to happen. Will the winners of each match and the overall winner be the one who wants it the most?

MATCHES LEFT FOR TODAY

England v.s Italy
Ivory Coast v.s Japan.
