lol Italy's playing so badly! But so is Spain. I think it'll be Brazil, Portugal, Argentina and Germany.

Italy is out ;_;.
It is tough to believe that both the finalist of 2006 were dumped out in the first round itself. At this rate, US or Ghana might pick up the cup.

Argentina will win now. Just see (though I will never be able to support it like Brazil). I've got to be right at least somewhere.

HECK YEAH!! SPAIN MADE IT TO THE QUARTER FINALS!!
And is going to own Paraguay. Too bad, Larissa Riquelme...

Bah. Uruguay beats Ghana.

Yeah, that sucked. But it was expected.
Looking forward to Argentina vs Germany. It ought to be a very interesting match.

OH HECK YESSSS!!! TAKE THAT, PARAGUAY!! And that means Larissa Riquelme too
SPAIN IS IN THE SEMIFINALS!! WE OWN SO BADLY!!

Yes. Indeed very interesting. A complete ownage over Argentina. 4 - 0 Germany over Argentina.

And Spain barely got through; Paraguay did way better than I thought. Spain has only been so successful because of David Villa.

Even though I'm cheering for Netherlands and Spain, and am against Germany, I will admit that Spain will not win if they play like they did against Paraguay and Germany continues to play amazingly.

Yes, I know. We only got lucky. But not only because of Villa, but Casillas [♥], too.
And, unfortunately, I think Spain is going to lose to Germany.

Well, at least Spain won. I had hoped it would beat Paraguay.
And yes, let us not talk about Brazil or Argentina.

Underdogs ftw.

The players who were the number 10 jersey this time played pretty badly, right? Messi, Kaka, Rooney...And you usually associate them with the lucky ones.
I don't really care for Uruguay vs Netherlands. I never liked both teams much. I like Spain, so it would do a good job of winning. But then, yesterday, I saw a recap of Spain vs Paraguay and the team just seemed to scrape through (I don't get to see the second matches of the day as it is past midnight here then and I need to get up early) unlike Germany.

Pfft. In the past two games (which have both been knockout) the only player that has scored for Spain is Villa. Torres has been invisible

NETHERLANDS FTW.

He has a bad knee ok, and he barely played for Euro 08, he only scored like once in the final game. And Castrol's fantasy pick had 5 spanish players and only lahm for germany. /denial

aagh i came online to see what Paul the octopus would predict for tomorrow and it's not up...I thing he chose Spain and was eaten :'(

He has predicted that Spain would beat Germany.

And I think Villa and Torres are pretty much even. I don't like any of them particularly, so possibly that is why I'm saying that. Though Torres looks better.

And, today's match is being telecast live here at midnight! And I need to get up at 5:30 am!
All matches now will be like that ;_;

I have to disagree.

Germany is so going to beat Spain. Dx.

Fernando Torres always looks fabulous. And i have faith in that psychic octopus. His information was confirmed by mani the parakeet
edit: (double post

Also, octopus swim in slow-mo. or maybe he's blinded be the ~thousand flashing lights~

oh to be a famous young octopus.

Why the hell does the fishface dude from the German team always get the cameras, even when he´s not playing? I would like to see more Casillas, more Villa, or even more Podolski.

EDIT: I CAN´T BELIEVE IT!! SPAIN WON!! (Always 1-0, I wonder why)
