Well its been a while since we put anything up on the matter and to be honest it is just not the same without the good ole USA still playing. Tough defeat, seems Ghana has our number. Anywho, still soccer to be played and this is really the cream of the crop, minus Portugal. July 2, well today, the action kicks off with Brazil vs. Netherlands in the a.m. slot and Uruguay and Ghana taking to the field of play in the early afternoon contest. I think Brazil and Uruguay win these with relative ease. And I, along with probably a good many others, like Brazil over Uruguay in the semis to advance to yet another final.
On July 3, the plot thickens with Argentina, led by potentially insane coach and world cup legend Diego Maradona, taking on Germany. Germany has been a different team after there loss in game two of the group stage to Serbia. Obviously, they were good coming into the tournament, but they have stepped it up a dial as far as aggressiveness and attacking and defense. Haven't been blowing people out, just playing lights out. Not to mention they have one of the most prolific scorers in the tournament Miroslav Klose. Argentina is no slouch with there star, Lionel Messi. This guy is pretty exciting to watch and I recommend that you do just that. Maybe, not get real hammered Friday night...., just a little Friday night and get up and watch this one. It should be a good one. In the other contest of Saturday, afternoon that is, Paraguay and Spain square off. Spain all the way and its not close. If Germany beats Argentina, I like Germany over Spain, but if Argentina wins, I like Spain over Argentina. Sounds a little tricky, but Germany, I feel is a better team than Argentina and they wouldn't have to exhaust as much energy to win as Argentina would to have to beat the German squad. Just my standpoint, could be wrong, probably will be, doesn't matter who makes it to the finals against Brazil, it is another cup for the country of Brazil. With that being said, the Netherlands will pull off the upset.
