This paper is concerned with three elemental game progress patterns. It is found that each of the three games in 2010 FIFA World Cup, Group E is a combination of the elemental progress patterns. It is inferred that this finding is universal and thus it is applicable to many other games. Time history of information of game outcome obtained by the data analyses and existing models shows that for players including winner-sided observers and loser-sided observers, "balanced game" is most exciting, "one-sided game" is least exciting and "seesaw game is intermediate exciting. It is suggested that for neutral observers "balanced game" is frustrating, "one-sided game" is boring, and "seesaw game" is exciting.
