World Cup Brasil

[icecreamgirl]

Gutted that England are out so quickly - still at least we don't have the pain of the knockouts and being ousted on penalties! (which seems to be pretty standard for us in major comps!)

Shame about Spain too as I enjoy watching them. Guess I'll probably be backing the Dutch now they are probably my next favourite - come on you oranges!!

Nah, someone weird is going on.  I think this is an offyear for the stronger teams.  Or just a bout of bad luck.

Im not too thrilled Italy is being sent to elimination round, but the way I see it, they need to win or draw to stay. And they've proven that they have better handling with the ball.

Ive been told I have Germany to fall back on if I have to, but ive always leaned towards my Italian side more

Goooo Netherlands! Everyone thought we would be done after the match against Spain, hehe. But now the whole country is slowly turning orange

Makes it more entertaining to watch though!

Yeah, I thought the Dutch would be out for Spanish blood.  I was so mad at the end of the US/Portugal game.  It kills me how the Americans just seem to give up sometimes.

Well,

I now have 0 respect for Uruguay. Because of what happened, they played yesterday instead of Italy..and it was solely because of bad referring they went on.  The red card in hindsight should have been a yellow (or no card at all.  The guy stumbled on his OWN toe!) and..well, everyone now knows what else happened, though I want to slap the coach upside the head.  You cant 'photoshop' a live replay when theres only less then 10 seconds after the actual thing happens!

I hear the biter got a heroes welcome when he came home too.

If that was Italy in that players shoes, the player would have been met with disgrace.


And...im not sure about giving up, but atleast on the tv stations, the US is very adamant on proclaiming they've already won everything.  There are maybe 3 US players I respect (including the goal keeper), otherwise, its their own country that's bringing them down

Its a shame the whole of the Uruguay team is being shunned a little because of one basket case although the teams stance that he did nothing wrong is not helping their case.

Yay "my" team are still going strong Go Team Orange!

Loved the match between the Netherlands and Mexico yesterday. Really we won again in the last part. My favourite player is Robben. I think he's one of the best players we have!

I figured that rooting for three teams increases my chances of being happy in the end.  I was rooting for USA (my home country),  France (my husband's home country) or Costa Rica (where we went on out honeymoon), but USA is out now so go France and Costa Rica!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy with the final four! I'm so looking forward to the semi-finals What a tense game last night with the penalty-shootouts!

Well, today's the day.  I think Germany will take it but, like Big Papa, I will be supporting Argentina.

All or nothing. Everyones hoping over here Germany will take it.  And after that groundpound with Brazil (even though I think Germany did a courtesy to them second half by not actually trying to get more goals), its summed up that they better win.

Im actually glad Brazil lost yesterday, because they needed it to become humble instead of arrogant (because honestly, I could see that ego trip from all the way over here!).  Im just sad for them that it had to happen when they were hosting it.

Ole, ole, ole! We are the Champions!

[Archer]

So glad Germany won I would, obviously, have wanted England to win, but being part German, they're my fall back team lol Plus i've been saying it since south africa four years ago that they'd go all the way this year Well done Germany ^_^

[melodys_angel]

That goal was beautiful..and watching the game I had my doubts that they would be able to get through that defense.
