    I really like Spain. Love the country, probably one of my favorites in Europe. Tapas, wine and siesta. Yes, please. Like the way they play soccer as well.

    Don't mind an underdog story either though.

    so far I am very much enjoying the tournament. From Spain being eliminated, Australia giving the Dutch something to think about, Mexico tying Brazil, Portugal imploding to the machine that is Germany, to the excruciating win from the US against Ghana, Cost Rica defeating Uruguay....

    so many story lines, been a great tournament

    Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but Ghana IS NOT beating Germany. Portugal mite beat the US. Chile looked good and they have a pretty good shot at making a nice little run here. But in reality, the big guns are gonna be the Germans, Dutch and Argentina. Brazil has the home factor but a lot of pressure too. Pretty good tournament so far. Still can't believe Spain was bounced.....ole, ole ole ole

    Without Pepe and Ronaldo, the US might be able to pull out a win, but will have to play much better. I'd be pleased if they can manage a draw with Portugal. I fully expect Ronaldo to play though.

    Kevin-Prince know's all about them, you'll see ;)
    now this was a great ref over this awesome match, Japan-Greece
    Ronaldo will play, but the real force has to be the other ten players, without it he has free kicks also, 9 out 10 he will score
    we'll see, believe Germany is overrated, that ref was his first apearence, from Servia

    Looked like a well-deserved red card to me. Pepe is a moron.

    Yep, and it's not the first time he's done something like that. He has a history of petulant behaviour on the pitch. I'm glad they're out of the competition.

    I said before the World Cup that when England get knocked out after losing to Italy and Urugauy, that I'd support Chile and/or Colombia. It's looking pretty good for me \:D/

    yes i'm blaming the ref, because that first penalty is a joke
    and yes Pepe is stupid, if he just stand still after the headbutt Muller was out too...
    Back in Euro2004 we lost the first match too and then went to the final
    we're not finished yet
    Portugal! Portugal!

    I'm sorry octopus, Pepe DOESNT even belong on the field. I made a promise to myself and all my cule friends out there. If I ever see Pepe in real life, I'm gonna kick him right in his mouth. I FUCKEN hate that fucker more then any player........maybe even a little more the Cristina. Guy has ZERO respect for anyone he plays against and is nothing more then a goon. I bet he's a pussy off the field too. Puto Pepe!

    Pepe is a moron and deserved that red card. He's the soccer equivalent of a hockey goon.

    Portugal is going down on Sunday!

    How about the guy on Uruguay getting kneed in the head and pretty much knocked out cold yesterday going right back in the game?? Does FIFA have any rules concerning concussions/head injuries?? That was ridiculous yesterday.

    Definitely an accident, but I think Indifference was wondering about concussion protocol. He defnitely wouldn't have been allowed back in the game if it was MLS, NCAA, high school or youth club soccer. Hell, he wouldn't have gone back in if he were an NFL player. We are very strict about protocol these days. He was knocked silly. But he seemed to recover quickly. He clearly didn't want to miss a minute of World Cup play.
