Thus far only group winners have gone on to the quarter finals.

Will there be an exciting upset today? Most likely not!

I think this world cup I learned from our experienced and intelligent posters that there are approximately 10 good players (6 of them keepers) and 2 good teams.

International teams usually are poo poo. Rarely do they have any chemistry or discipline that you see in the big European club teams. Belgium is a great example, it's filled with amazing and talented club players but as a unit they are less than impressive. Added to that these players just came off a 9 month season with many playing at the very highest levels. So by the time the world cup rolls around these guys are half broken or mentally fatigued.

Sepp Blatter places things like money over petty nationalistic sentiment.

I so want Argentina to play a real team with a real attack.

Jesus Christ they are dire.

As Di Maria goes, so does Argentina.

Really not looking forward to the part where a super poo poo Argentina is saved by Messi late in the second half.

I haven't been watching as I've been in meetings. Is this game more or less exciting than the Greece / CR match?

Less. At least you expected that game to be a piece of poo poo.

You Americans banging on about 'goalies' do realize that Courtois is one of the best keepers on the planet right now?
