No premature singing, please! :-)
We have just won a game, not more and not less.

Seven more to come: a long way to go, and from the last 16 on, one single bad game can send you home. It's much more important to play well, and go step by step, than to claim anything, no matter how well a team plays.

No way you're getting past the semi-final! ;)

IF both teams get to the semi-final, it will just be a great game to enjoy. :-)

Go Oranje! I really really felt they deserved the WC last time round, but the Spanish were too tight as a unit.
Slim chances, but they might just pull through.

They've got Robben. Be very afraid :twisted:

Thank you for the compliment :-/

In germany everytime it's the same... Before first game, no chance for the finals, after first winning match, we will win the WC....
Love and peace to everyone :-)

I thought Mexico played quite well today, and Brazil was disappointing. What happened to their finesse, their impossible ball mastery? They had some good chances but I felt the Mexicans played more like a team and of course Ocoa (sp?) is now a national hero. The Dutch (if they continue) will be playing against number one or two of that pool, right now it seems wide open as to who that will be. Croatia played well too last week.

I'm rooting for Brazil to finish 1st in the group, simple because in case they finish 2nd, Netherlands face them, and THAT might be a problem for the Dutch.
Last time round, they edged them, not sure if they can pull off something similar this time, with the home support and all.

It is weird isn't it, Brazil were one of the teams I was really looking forward to see in the world cup. I have been pretty disappointed.

"Ochoa" just proved that a great goalie performance can influence the outcome of a game. Without him, the outcome would have been much sadder for the Mexicans. Anyway, viva Mexico and good luck next game.

Spain 1:0 down to Chile, could this be the end.......

Man that was a bad performance by The Netherlands. Especially the first half. And it has to be said, a really good performance by Australia. They played rough but with a lot of heart. I didn't think we'd win that one and I hope the team "woke up" now because there's a lot further to go to win the competition!

To go from one extreme to another....What a painful exit! Spain blew it big time. Australia on the other hand was super awesome. Especially the second half something was happening like every other second.

Netherlands were pretty disappointing last night. Not a very commanding performance at all.

Spain was just... bleh. Lack of motivation affects performance like no other factor.
