If this french team turns up it'll be a great game. Brazil have been kinda flat and I think one might pick this french team as the favorite.

This is probably the best match I've seen so far (I haven't seen all of them though)
Both team had spirits, both teams were really willing to exhaust themselves for the win, and both teams had excellent players.
The same thing could have happened between Portugal and Netherlands, if it hadn't turned into a streetfight contest. So far, it's the only match in this cup that really gives the impression that the best teams and the best players are in the contest
Oh, and the ref was excellent too, which really added to the quality. I hope he's there in the finals.

It was actually a very good day for football. Brazil-Ghana was an absolute joy to watch (did I mention I called out sick today... well, I overslept or else I wouldn't, but I'm kind of happy I overslept now) with attacking football by Ghana almost surprising the Brazilians. And then the back and forth showdown between France and Spain, making me very happy
.
My homerism says Italy-US was the best match I've seen, but I realize my bias.

The same can't be said of France, which had a difficult match against Switzerland ferchrissake!"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Did you expect anything different, Thorgal? It's Spain, after all!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Did you expect something else?"The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...

Oh, late. Imran already said the obvious before..."The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...
