Klose does as Klose does.

 

Edit:  Apropos of nothing, but Schweinsteiger has got to be the most German name physically possible, no?

So looks like France will take this.

They're the team that's looked the best so far, I'd put Colombia second.  That said, there's plenty of precedent for teams starting out weak and playing themselves into great form throughout the tourney.

 

Messi will just pull a Maradona on everyone.

As long as that guy is on the pitch, Argentina will always have a chance to beat anyone.

Shouldn't Medounjanin have gotten a red for that instead of a yellow?  Clear path to the goal with no defender (other than the keeper) between the guy getting fouled and the goal.  No attempt to play the ball whatsoever, just simply grabbed him.  Isn't that, by definition, worthy of a red card?

 

Edit: Bad offside call.  Bosnia should be up 1-0 right now.

 

Edit 2: Nigeria up 1-0.  The Bosnian defense has been badly beaten several times already today.  This time they paid for it.

If this tournament has taught me anything so far is that there seem to be no favourites. France does look good, but how will they fare against tougher opponents? As for Colombia... Eh, no. I don't see it.

 

Edit: That being said, I'm still sticking with Germany at least reaching the finals. They may have played a ... less than spectacular game, but I still think they have the metal.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Germany does indeed still have the metal

On a serious note, Germany was my pick to win it before the tourney began and Colombia was my dark horse.  I see no reason to change those picks.  I also said England would go out early, but that wasn't so much a prediction as stating an inevitable fact, so no reason to pat myself on the back for getting that one right.

 

Jaded, Y U No Like Colombia's lightning quick counter-attack?

Poor Iran, they really did not deserve to lose this.

 

Yeah, a draw would have been great. But I am already proud that my fellow Iranians played so well against Argentina.

 

And lets not forget this man:

I'm lucky in that regard, my first appointment is only at 10 am so I can leave home at 9 am. Do you think I should stay awake?
