    Scary video of one of the staircases at the stadium in Maracana ... it's amazing it didn't collapse.

    Incredible goal from Cahill.

    Australia sure made it entertaining. I really thought they played well. But the Dutch were just too much for them. The Dutch are a quality side, so Australia should feel good about the performance. They certainly aquitted themselves better than Spain did. Spain have a chance to redeem themselves in an hour. We'll see if the team I picked to be in the final match against Germany actually comes to play this time.

    Ronaldo left training an hour early today and was on the ground with ice on his knee

    Wow, bummer for him, but good news for us. I know he's been doing that occassionally lately, so I hope he's not at 100%. We're both going to be without some starters, and a hobbled CR7 will at least help since I'm not convinced we can contain a 100% fit version of Ronaldo.

    Yeah, this isn't bad news for the US. I'm sure Ronaldo will play, but definitely doesn't sound like he will be 100%.

    Well, I don't wish a career ending injury on him. I'd encourage him to follow his surgeon's advice. He's entertaining to watch, but I'd be fine with missing some of his entertaining play on Sunday.

    Well, my bracket is blown to hell! Not that I really mind, since I've got Germany winning it all. Maybe we'll have a Germany v. Netherlands final match.

    Speaking on behalf of ugly Americans, was Spain supposed to be any good?

    So Spain has won the last three major championships ... How many of those were Super Bowls?
    Or was it like the the French open or something like that? Technically a major ... but French ...

    How is their Arian Youth block of fans taking the loss?

    - signed, the ugly American

    Awesome! Now Cameroon players are headbutting each other. Yeehaw! Nice game by Croatia. Now I'd like to see Croatia take it to Mexico.
