more soccer

speaking of which
[even though we werent]

What kind of bullshit was that red card
in the brazil/england game?

course it was kinda sad
that the brits couldnt even
take advantage of brazil being a man down

If I hold any weight with any higher power, the final this year will be Spain vs. Brazil.

that would be sweet
but while spain has been playing sweet
I think they are going to choke

here is how I see it wrapping up

Senegal beats Turkey
Spain beats Korea
Brazil beats Senegal
Germany beats Spain

for Brazil and Germany
in the finals

with Brazil taking number 5

of course
I could be biased
cause I got a grand
riding on the quarter finals -> finals results

*grin*

I am proud of our boys
but I didnt think they would take
todays game
[as much as I hoped they would]

[girl-on-a-stick.livejournal.com]

I don't see Germany beating Spain. Not if they played like they did today.
I thought the US looked great today.
We controlled the midfield and strung more passes together than we ever have before.

mmm perhaps
but then again
as was illustrated the other day
Spain has a choking problem
when it comes to the quaterfinals and beyond

but damn I really didnt think with the way
that they had been playing
that they would choke against Korea

The US did look great
but Germany has a lot of strength
and a history of strong showing
in the knockout rounds

that freaking amazing goalie
dont hurt either

Hold on - you have a grand riding on this? US $?!
Damn!

just a lil something
to make it all the more
interesting

*grin*

well most of it
is on Brazil to take the final

I placed a tiered bet on all the results
from the quaterfinals on
the total amount was a grand
but it is complicated.

so far I am breaking even
[two wins, two losses]
[and since my overall favourites]
[havent been eliminated]
[i am still in pretty good shape]
