    Eto'o is on Cameroon, they're chances are riding on him. I think they're the strongest of the bottom three in E.

    I still enjoy it. Old-ish school hockey. Makes every goal scored that much more exciting. Plus the little dance that S. Africa did. . . CLASSIC!

    I thought the ref in the Germany game was worst. He called like 8 yellows (2 on a German player thus giving him a red)

    Slovakia and Italy were about the worst actors ever. Slovakia's tender was nauseating but I am happy Italy is gone.

    Booooy did that ref from the England/Germany match **** up.

    I know everyone is saying get video replay, but with the amount of money fifa makes and the amount they put in security, couldn't you pull 2 guys and place them in the nets or something and their only job is to watch for goals?

    Fun to watch. Brazil got a little unhinged there at the end. Hard tackles both ways but what was done after the tackles was kind of a shock.

    I watched that ESPN FILMS 30 in 30 Documentary on Pablo Escobars infulenece on the Columbian National Team and Andres Escobars murder after his own goal in the '94 World Cup.

    That shiit was crazy. I remember when that happened very vaguely, but I can't believe that happened in my lifetime. Place is insane.

    Netherlands 2-1 over Spain.

    Wanted Germany in the final since they play a balls-out style of play. Spain is like the New Jersey Devils of soccer, boring to watch

    Netherlands have been my team for the last few rounds now. I am not betting against them now.
