germany did not play well so far, but i think portgual will still have to be at its best to ensure they can beat germany.. germany always find a way through and wins the match (just look at the thunderbolt today from ballack!)
it will be one good match for the fans! can't wait

That means that since I think the Dutch will blow it against Romania (semi-on purpose) of the 4 semi finalists from WC 06 only 1 will remain (either Germany or Portugal). and only 1 from the quarters (Port. or Ger again)
Furthermore of the round of 16 from the 06 WC only 3 will remain, Spain, Portugal/Germany and Netherlands.
This leaves a great opportunity for the 1b type teams like Romania, Croatia and Turkey to win the tourney, except Croatia and Turkey are playing in the quarters.
