SWI-ECU had an absolutely awesome finish and FRA-HON was great for nostalgia buffs

the game has eliminated a lot of significant contact - just brushing people frequently seems to result in a freekick. So you see a lot lot less of the really physical approach you often used to get 20 or so years ago.
But apparently no-one has told the Honduras that - they employed good old fashioned chopping tactics (like 80s Uruguay). And there was the sight of Wilson Palacios having a great stab at being Prick of the Tournament so far (other than Blatter of course).
