    A lot of the games are following a similar pattern.

    Of the first 15 games, 12 have seen the pre match favourites win. Of those 12 games, only 1 saw both teams score. In fact only 1 game in the entire tournament has seen both teams score so far.

    You could get 3/1 for the 3 favourites to win to nil this morning.

    Obviously this will change when the better teams in the tournament begin to play each other, but at present, the favourites are winning comfortably, even if the scoreline doesn't necessarily reflect that.

    I'd say the England win was far from comfortable.

    I'll be honest, I haven't watched a single game yet, I was basing it on the stats. Even England were overwhelmingly dominant in every stat barring the scoreline.

    England could have easily lost. I was surprised how good Haiti were
