suspect you're right.

and even re the two German goals - the first one didn't actually move in the air much, and for the second one he really hit across the ball, so you'd have expected it to move to the right. No idea whether the amount it did move was really unusual.

There just hasn't been that much else to talk about (yet). Eight games in, and the biggest upsets have been Poland and Sweden not winning.

It'll get more interesting.
