Early goal went the other way, 2-0 now.

You can really tell the difference between the team that is tight and afraid to lose from the team that is carefree and doesn't give a hoot.

Russia did exactly what they needed to do, Sweden didn't.

Apparently I spoke too soon... Zlatan pulled his disappearing act in a critical game... its unfortunate, but not surprising.

Hiddink just knows how to get the most from his teams though.

None of you guys pay attention to my bets and now I am 3 for 3 so far. Croatia is the only team left! So far I turned $50 into $170 and that is with 2 bets still left on the table!

i got to say, the spain B-team looked very good
this spain team has talent..
yes they gave up that one goal.. but they play some beautiful football like the dutch in this tournament..

and seeing xabi as the man of the match today.. i will be really sad if he does go to juve and leave LFC.. did anyone else see that attempted long bomb that made the greece goalie hurt himself as he crashed into the post?.. and that 40 meter out shot that rattles the post in the 2nd half?.. man.. barry will never replace his passing and skills.. he's a decent player.. but comon, villa rating him at 18mil? seriously? i bet there's a 10mil of premium on that because he's from england.. the english premium on all english players.. crazy..

Counting down the minutes to today's clash. Getting a little nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time. Flip a coin for this one. The off field talk is getting very interesting. Scolari doesnt believe for a second that Podolski and Frings are injured and expects them in the lineup no matter what the Germans say.
