It's still awfully early to make any predictions. But, I'm guessing Brazil v.s. Germany in the final. Germany wins 1-0.

Holland 2-0 against Denmark, fast game with good opportunities for both teams, Holland is always a team to consider.
Reading Argentina's newspaper looks like Maradona will put Burdisso as the right defender and Jonas Gutierrez as left mid-fielder, either Veron (some issues with the knee)or De Maria will go to the bench. Today Italy - Paraguay, looking forward for a good game |

Ah cool thanks for update pabloinus! Jonas plays on left wing for Newcastle dosent he? Not really a great left back Good to see Veron back other day!
Germany looked good last night though one lads pointing out I thought sending off was very harsh! Looking forward to seeing Italy play On a random note they better not even think about banning the vuvuzela. I think adds to the atmosphere and it's how the south African's watch their footie,they should have to change just to please us. I listenned to some "expert" claiming how the noise could damage hearing of the spectators at the game...god love us! People go clubs,pubs,gigs etc etc all the time! |

All the newspapers here predict a goal-less draw for the Italy Paraguay game. But it should be an exciting game.
They'll never ban the vuvuzelas here, no matter how irritating it is! Its become the trademark of football here, and they will have a war on their hands if they want to ban it |

If Italy score we may as well go to bed...They are master's of keeping a lead. |

Italy vs Paraguay
Well, let's just say that the folk here in Paraguay are happy enough with a draw. They held out well and didn't really offer any clear cut chances to the Italians. However, they were very poor in midfield and will need to improve to make it to the next round. Italy too will need to improve in the final third. With the exception of the goal, they looked pretty rock solid at the back and Cannavaro is still a class act. Pete, yeah Veron is still a bit of a legend in Argentina. He's always on the news, sports reports. I think he plays for Estudiantes, but I could be wrong on that one

So Italy & Paraguay was a draw, just not goal-less Italy needs some work if they want to make it to to final 8.
This evening Brazil plays their first game... guess who'll be glued to the screen |

I felt sorry for them North Korea kids.

The US v England one was good - the England keeper's movements were spot on.
The Germany v Australia one was an absolute disgrace! Don't these people have anything better to do with their time! What a load of complete rubbish! *sigh* Didn't help.

The Portugal - Cote D'Ivoire game was a shocker... didn't look like either team was interested in winning.
However, the guys from Korea DRP certainly surprised everyone with their goal against Brazil... It looked like a completely different Brazil team to the one we saw in the warm-up games. And this evening its our time again! Expect to hear a deafening noise of vuvuzelas in tonight's SA game |

DPR were great against Brazil, I was really impressed. They played some nice football and weren't afraid to take it to Brazil. It was the right result, but I was happy to see them score, and Ivory Coast and Portugal will both be feeling a little unsettled after seeing them.
Spain today, looking forward to seeing my tip play.

And Switzerland pulls a huge upset! Goosebumps during that five minute overtime!
Exclamations! Wow! |

Well, Spain have once again underwhelmed at the World Cup. 22 shots to 3 or 4. Have to make them count though. It's truly difficult to score when the other team camps 11 players in their own half, but from Switzerland's point of view, their tactics were spot on and paid off.
