And Brazil goes through on PKs!

Judging by yesterday's games, the match Brazil vs. Kolumbia might be interesting. Quadrado and James make a dangerous pair, and if Ospina plays as good as yesterday...

Germany - Algeria 2 :1:

what a torture for the German fans. The only goal the team might have reached yesterday is shedding the label Favourite...

Ah, well- we finished strong. Lots of dangerous balls in the Belgian box late in the game.

Kudos to the US boys for leaving the World Cup in this way, fighting until the last minute, never giving up, and forcing the Belgians to show their best face!

And Jürgen Klinsmann's assessment that Howard is on of the world's 5 top goalies doesn't sound as quizzical as it did two weeks before.

That leaves only Didier Deschamps pushing for that elusive status of world cup winner as player and coach.
It would be poetic if France won in Brazil, having trounced Brazil in France 16 years ago with that 3-0 victory.

The thing about this WC that has me puzzled is that nobody has looked like a complete team. We've seen some big offensive outputs partnered with pretty shoddy defenses, and some stellar D played by teams with anemic offenses...

It really still looks like anyone could win.
