Man this is WC full of surprises !!! I hope one of the surprises will be the victory of the US vs Germany, crossing fingers ... But than again Belgium will be playing againgst Germany the second round wich Belgium will win of course The France couldnt impress me at all, especially vs Honduras, weak performance ... even with a B-team The Netherlands rock hard, very good balanced TEAM, they actually play together, Van Gaal you did it again I hope the next rounds will give us some real good matches cause we havent had much of them ! So did the jury reach a verdict ? 1. US 2. Belgium 3. Netherlands LOLOLOL

I was disappointed by the frenchies yesterday, but I think they were more trying to avoid running to prepare the next match. Costa rica is impressive!!

For the first time in a Wc match i have no favorite, USa or Belgium. I voted for the waffles but they still arent convincing me like they did before (lol i never vote on the Dutch, bad omen lol ). Ok, 90 minutes of war towards a 2-2, then extra time and let faith and karma decide with penalty's.

Some great games so far! o_0 Holland's come from behind victory over Mexico was amazing. Hopefully - Corvy didn't pass out before the end. Mexico did get too defensive too early - and that was enough for Robben to be flying up and down the field. Costa Rica was flawless in the penalty kicks - altho Greece made the game interesting. Not yet watched the Argentina game against the Swiss - but it looks like they pulled out a late goal. Germany was pushed hard by Algeria. Algeria played a great game. France seemed to have a somewhat easier time against Nigeria (from what I can remember). Brazil got reaaaaallly lucky against Chile. Neymar is fantastic tho'. He is lightning fast! Wow. Couldn't watch the Columbia game. I've been recording some of these games and watching them faster than the actual games. Except - finally... I went to a bar a couple-a days ago to watch USA-Belgium. It was packed. The game was amazing. The atmosphere was electric. Tim Howard was like a human wall. Him combined with the mexican goalkeeper (Ochoa?) have shown us some of the best goalkeeping in a long time. In reality, let's face it - Belgium could have scored 5-6 goals. However, it was intense and amazing that US could have won it at the end of regulation. Belgium is a SCARY team. It would not surprise me if they won it all. The US team was fun to watch in extra time. Long 3-day weekend here in the US coming up. Woohoo! Cheers! hic! burP!

On this cup, I've been rooting AGAINST Brazil even before the 1st match. We have one of the most corrupt government on earth (IF not THE most), and they've been using this cup like crazy to stealing. Brazil is facing the chaos in public health, education, transportation and the list goes longer. We have tons of serious reasons to cry for, but we cry for a player who gets hurt, for a game we lose. I'm sick of it! The REAL situation of our country, talking about corruption, is not shown by the media. Our president is the worst ever in our history.
So I'm very happy about Brazil not going to the final. I root for Argentina, because having Argentina as the winner of this cup will be a shame for our footbal because the rivality between Brazil and Argentina, on that sport, is HUGE and brazilian take serious this rivality. People from Argentina are equal to people from Brazil or any other country, but brazilian people think we are the only one who deserves to win on footbal. CMON!!! We need to start to worry about other things besides footbal, and I think that MAYBE this big lose will contribute to that. If there is a chance of it, I'm grabbing it. Just my opinion.
Other teams came to play, with their hearts and minds. Brazilian came just to shine, and I hate that too. They think we are invencible. Hahahaha, finally the truth is on their faces!
Well, that's it. Hope Argentina wins, and will be happy too if Germany wins. Everybody deserves to win this cup, but not Brazil!
A hug!

I've been paying half attention to the World Cup. I probably won't watch the finals, but I'm cheering for Germany to win.

Hope Argentina wins, and will be happy too if Germany wins. Everybody deserves to win this cup, but not Brazil! A hug! This is a VERY interesting perspective, B2B. It appeared that this was the sentiment amongst many in Brazil (especially with the initial protests regarding the world cup). From afar we do get the feeling that Brazil has been completely consumed by the world cup - and that the country did have an "extremely" hard time coping with the loss of its star player - and then the semi finals match. There is indeed a tendency to forget about the real issues during this time. But having said that - I am not going to take your words of Argentina seriously LOL. The WORST thing (from a soccer perspective) that could happen to Brazil now is if Argentina wins in its home turf. Yikes! Also, since Brazil lost, I really wanted to see a Holland-Germany final. I felt both those teams played really, really well leading up to the semi finals. Also, secretly I wanted to see Brazil-Argentina in a 3rd place match. Both those matches would have been spectacular. Anyway - it was not to be - and I have to say Holland was VERY gracious in its defeat. Ruud van Nistelrooy was VERY professional and sporting in the US ESPN. I hate that a semi final match was decided by penalty kicks. Anyway - guess what - it's the weekend! Woohoo!

Great matches - and an EXCELLENT world cup, in general. So, there goes my soccer enthusiasm for another 4 years. See ya then with the 2018 World Cup. Oh yeah - we'll still be around.

Hehe I too have gotten my fill of soccer ... a nice dose every 4 years works great for me.
Germany's goal yesterday looked really nice and it seems agreed that the best team won.
The thing I really enjoyed the most was that surprisingly low amount of dives taken ... my biggest pet peeve. Seemed way better than the last cup.
