    Olay
    And Spain goes down to France. The Sangoma needs new bones.

    Despite going down to Brazil, I really liked Ghana's style of play. Exciting stuff. Well done Ghana on such a good showing.

    My 10 cents worth...

    I must admit that it is hard too choose a winning side but if I have 2...

    Brazil are definitely the favorites, with Germany hot they're heels. But I feel that France might surprise people and make it to at least the semis. Argentina has always bin a team close to my heart and I'm glad they are doing so well but I fear the road is coming to an end for them in the next match.

    In all I think with so many teams getting the thumbs up from us makes this World cup an enjoyable one, mainly because we don't have our own team to support, so my guess is that no matter who plays the finals or who wins, it will surely stay the topic of discussions and "I told you so's" in all general conversations for weeks.

    Enjoy the closing moments all!

    Let the Battle begin!

    Carpe diem, all the way!

    Italy next

    Can only assume the Sangoma hasn't been to Europe. He did have us going though as Spain had the best 1st round results and hadn't lost for the last 25 games or so.

    Ok - so now switching allegience - I'll now support Italy next - Yes I can feel it in my bones now - Sangoma has been fired as his bones were obviously too old.

    More like "sit on the fence."

    So Candy, your "boot" is still in. Inspired pick right now.

    Off the Fence...

    To Dave,

    Your on line too much, don't think your reading clearly enough...
    If you have a look you'll see that I mentioned that my team is not there therefor I will only predict the outcome.
    Guess what, so far I've bin spot on. Brazil was everyones favorites, France made it too the semis and Argentina's game came to an end in the next round.
    If you're upset that I'm so close then I'm sorry, but you didn't have to get nasty .
    I reckon that from here its gonna be a France - Germany Final with France being victorious!

    Carpe diem, all the way!

    Maybe that came out harsher than intended

    Or perhaps I should have quoted this post:

    The other guys will come second, you know, those okes with the other colored boots etc.

    Wat are we talking about again?
    Right now it looks like any of the last four teams could win it (See, I'm learning )

    Talk about sitting on fences...

    I think Dave got hold of the quad sided corner post.

    Right now it looks like any of the last four teams could win it (See, I'm learning )
    Be carefull Dave, the wrong angle could be hazardous... if leaning the wrong way

    My guess from the beginning was Germany and I'll take my chances.

    Chris, does all this mean we can put you down for France?

    Italy seems well covered - Portugal anyone?
