Holy Hell, Dahl Tomasson was shit this match! Any competent forward would have scored at least two more goals given the opportunities he had! He even managed to miss a penalty, although he scored on the rebound. But if you look at the slow-mo replay of it you'll notice that the ball slides off his foot, and that he's extremely lucky that the ball doesn't go wide of the post.

Both of the teams I support went out of the tournament in one day. Fantastic! I guess I'll root for The Netherlands (my favourites to win the WC since the qualifying) and whatever team is the underdog in the match I happen to be watching. I also hope that Spain will fail to beat Chile tomorrow, that Switzerland make it as far as possible, and that England don't fail to miserably against Germany.

Dagnammit, Japan and Paraguay are facing each other, it seems! The two teams I will be rooting for when England get pummeled! :pascontent: First England vs Germany, now this... FIFA is out to get me. Or at least the lots which decide it. If there are lots. :?

The group stage is over. Spain and Chile became the last two teams to qualify for the knockout stage, which looks like this:

Last 16:
49. Uruguay - South Korea
50. USA - Ghana
51. Germany - England
52. Argentina - Mexico
53. The Netherlands - Slovakia
54. Brazil - Chile
55. Paraguay - Japan
56. Spain - Portugal

Quarter-finals:
57. Winner 53 - Winner 54
58. Winner 49 - Winner 50
59. Winner 52 - Winner 51
60. Winner 55 - Winner 56

Semi-finals:
61. Winner 58 - Winner 57
62. Winner 59 - Winner 60

Here's my expert opinion:

Last 16:
Uruguay - South Korea
USA - Ghana
Germany - England
Argentina - Mexico
The Netherlands - Slovakia
Brazil - Chile
Paraguay - Japan
Spain - Portugal

Quarter-finals:
The Netherlands - Brazil
South Korea - USA

Semi-finals:
South Korea - The Netherlands
Germany - Spain

Final:

Winner: The Netherlands

Probably wrong, we never really won the world cup, but we DID get in the finals often.

Japan's match was just orsum, wasn't it?! :D

But I'm afraid of Japan - Spain... Japan is for sure a relatively good team but I don't think they can deal with Spain...

Oh, and

You made it to the very final twice, actually. In 1974 and '78. You should have won it, at least in '74, when you had the brilliant Johann Cruyff on your team. Unfortunately, you met West-Germany and Argentina in those finals, who both had the great advantage of hosting the championship. In addition to the legendary side of the '70s, you've always managed to produce generation after generation of fantastic players and national sides, like the one that won the European Championship in 1988, or the one that was beaten on penalties against Brazil in the semi-final in 1998. History owes The Netherlands a world championship, and imo this is their golden opportunity to finally get one.

Why? Maybe he should put his current location in Japanese.
