Thanks to Kumar Subramiam, Malaysia's goalkeeper, Netherlands "only" scored 7 goals against Malaysia. Netherlands could have won with two digits to be honest.

They usually concede lots of goals against european teams so it's not shocking to me. I predicted 5 goal difference 

Anyway they came here to play Pakistan and try to get a result there.

SA tied with Canada 1-1 , nice result for the African representative

Should be disappointing, because they beat Canada at the Commonwealth Games.

and they were leading 1-0 , but overall a tie is better than nothing as Canada is a more recognized team internationally than SA

Yet Canada was the favourite today, one match early in the year doesn't change that

Canada should have won, they are the better team. Now they will probably go home winless, even if they get through the pool.

 

India disappointed me a bit. This was their opportunity to make an statement but they can never hold the lead in an important match. They will be 1st in the pool but they still will have to play NED or GER in QFs which will be a test.
