Germany played the opening game in 2006 I think.

Was it something to do with holders no longer automatically qualifying for the next WC?

The score graphic is lovely.

But it's FAR too big. And far too central.

Ollic looks about 50. Croatia will be a threat on the break.

Do these referees all use English to speak to the players? I can't imagine a Japanese ref knowing Portuguese and Serbo-Croat or whatever they speak.
