Spain definitely deserved the win but David Villa's goal was offside.

So happy that Spain is now one step closer. For the first hour of the game I thought Portugal was definitely the better team. They had amazing defense. I was surprised to see that Ronaldo didn't throw himself on the ground so much today. I kind of felt bad for the goalie....sitting on the ground crying at the end of the game.
Another added bonus was getting to see Valdes............MMMMMMM Valdes....Still mad they won't let him play. He's definitely better than Casillas.
I think I'm having world cup withdrawals today...
Netherlands Vs. Brazil is coming up. What do you think?
from this point forward, the games are just getting better! more passion and desire! (I like that! ohh)
so, should I be taking down my St Georges England flag now??

Wow. Talk about a second half collapse. There goes my prediction.
After that first half I thought Brazil was going to score four or five goals but Holland lucked up big time.
I'd like to see Paraguay win, but I think Spain will prevail. Germany vs Argentina is too close to call. Argentina was sort of my second choice behind Brazil, but I really don't want to see Maradona run naked, and you know that will be making the sports highlights if it's happens.
Ghana deserved to win. I think handballs on the line like that should just be ruled a goal and a red card given. There's no question that it was going to be a goal if the player hadn't used his hand to block it. Why make them convert a penalty? It makes sense to shoot a penalty if the player is fouled in the box because it's not clear if he is going to score. It's an old rule that enables anti-football that FIFA should consider changing.
Tomorrow I think Germany will beat Argentina but it's going to be close.
I think Spain will beat Paraguay. Paraguay is probably going to wait for Spain to lose the ball and counter the whole time. They're going to have to get lucky on the couple chances they get and have a perfect defensive game to beat Spain.
Wow!!! what games (Netherlands win and Uruguay win) .....
all good in my corner of the world!!
Hoping for a Germany and a Paraguay win tomorrow (setting my alarm!!)

I pick Germany and Spain.
For football lovers a World Cup final between The Netherlands and Germany would be the best. NL versus Spain would be the 2nd best thing.
The reason I don't pick Argentina is because they haven't shown much team spirit so far. It's a bunch of individualists and even though they've got some excellent players I much prefer seeing a whole team fighting for each other.
Besides, if Germany is in good form like they were against England then Argentina will have a very tough job. Especially Heinze.

Well well, Argentina finally faced a serious opponent and got their asses kicked.
Germany won deservedly, as I expected.
Let's hope Spain annihilates Paraguay tonight!

Let's talk about soccer in here, ok?
That was a great game between Germany and Argentina. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I predict Germany to go all the way now. They have it all: teamwork, talent, tactics, opening up opponents, and a defense that shuts down the opposition.
What are the next matches?
WHATTA Game!!
Spain and Paraguay played with awesome passion!!!
loved it!!
Congrats to Spain!! Great Game Fellas!!
