Fifa World Cup 2010

[Mark]

It's shaping up to be a New World vs Old (and older) World Quarter Finals.

I'm sorry to see Japan go...I loved their speed and damnit, Honda was a joy to watch.

Especially on those free kicks. Whew!

Agreed. Which is why it was so surprising that they lost on penalty kicks.

I was pretty impressed by their goalie, too.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Yeah, he was pretty doggone good.

So is anyone else upset about the draw? How did Portugal not get into Pot 1? It's certainly made for some interest early knockout stage matches. #2 in the world versus #3 in the round of 16? #1 vs #4 in the quarters? Wow. Paraguay and Ghana are in some very good company.

VICTORY!!

Completely undeserved but we'll take it anyway.

Bye Brazil.

 

[jaerdaph]

Brazil eliminated - always my favorite World Cup moment.

 

[Jdvn1]

LOVE the result! The Netherlands are a very underrated team.

Two top 5 teams play, one loses, and everyone is shocked. If it were Spain, Portugal, Argentina, or Germany, the shock would have been less.

Completely undeserved but we'll take it anyway.

I'm not sure why you say this.

I think it was said because of the combination of:

1. A Brazillian own-goal
2. Sloppy first half (and some intermittent 2nd half) play by the Orange
3. Brazil's mental implosion hot-fudge sundae with the Red Card cherry on top.
