The quarterfinals are all set: Germany vs. Argentina, England vs. Portugal, Italy vs. Ukraine, and Brazil vs. France. Great stuff. It should be noted that of the 8 number one seeds in the world cup draw, 6 are in the quarterfinal. The two that didn’t make it were Spain and Mexico; instead, we have Portugal and Ukraine.
I can’t wait until Friday. My Ballack shirt is ready.
(Maybe it’s time to recall Gary Lineker’s famous saying: “Football is a simple game — you play for 120 minutes and then the Germans win on penalties.”)
