First upset, Netherlands destroy champs Spain 5-1
Robben and Van Persie were frigging awesome.That was a nice surprise! Watched it in a pub and people weren't surprised Spain took the lead and even expected much worse to come. Expectations in the Netherlands were quite low for this team. Defense sometimes f... up or players go berserk and get send off.
But, tournaments have their own logic and unexpected results sometimes happen (remember Greece who won Euro 2004). Will be very interesting to see what happens if they have to play more defensive playing teams or if the same kind of pressure is put on them.
For now though: Go Oranje!! -
This team from The Netherlands have 14 players from the "school" off Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Long ago in 1974 the dutch also played with most players from Feyenoord.The whole defense is from Feyenoord, thats why the defense is so strong, the players know each other very well. I think we can go know with know problems to the finals against Brazil

I enjoyed the game. It was the most flair Ive seen England play in a WC finals for a long long time. Sterling was Epic.

Here on Brazil a lot of people ( I think 10 - 20% ) want Brazil team be defeated. All because of politics, we really hate our president, and some believe that the team loosing can make her loose some votes.
Here people saying very politely "hey Dilma go f*** yourself" Yes we are a very polite people
but the games are really good. Spain looses so bad.

On the other side people are worried that if Brazil does lose that it will make the people even more mad and could result in widespread violence and even an end to the tournament.
I do look forward to and hope for a Spain vs Brazil knockout game. -
Eng v Ita was a great game

I do look forward to and hope for a Spain vs Brazil knockout game.Maybe But I don't think will happen. Police is well organized and violence is mainly made by some small groups. If Brazil looses will be big riots but non violent, I hope.

Australia are world champions once again after thrashing the Netherlands 6 - 1.....!!!
oh....hang on....this topic is about Soccer....and Australia don't do so well at that.
In fact the Netherlands are about to seek revenge on Australia later this week after what we did to their Hockey team.....I have a feeling it won't be a very pretty score line.....!!

Argies woke up in 2nd half. At least their manager recognised that his starting 11 weren't the right choice.

Yeah, I wan England to win as Italy are my team's (Germany) kryptonite.
Solo let's hope italy shares some of it's knowledge with us then... We will need it if we are to stand against the all mighty german team today at 5h00... after skipping work, to get the kids at school and before preparing dinner, just to make it on time to get them to bed and still watch the next match at 20h00...
It's ruining my life and it will make me feel miserable if Portugal looses to Germany today... I hate the WC!

And Germany 4-0 over Portugal??? Gee, some big names conceding big scores!!

Actually I'm a bit disappointed with myself, with all the shrimps, beer, barbecue, and friends that gathered together to watch the match, I didn't feel a bit sad with the final score, that's why I also love "futebol" it's a passionate thing that takes no influence in your life...
BTW well deserved score, after the first penalty goal, Portugal did nothing to turn events around, we just did even worse for ourselves. I hope this was a lesson learnt as the one we had in the first match of 2004... against Greece we also lost and we only lost again on the final... problem is that it was with Greece too!

That was a great win for
