Well, that wasn't impressive soccer. Anyway, Germany vs. Ghana: 1:0.

Next match will be a classic: England vs. Germany.
... and I have NO idea how the German team is going to win the game against England.

It's just a camouflage tactic. If even we germans don't know it, how could England's coach have a clue on our team then? How will he prepare his team for the match?

Btw, i'm pretty sure Joachim "Jogi" Löw "borrowed" this tactic from the italian coach.

One last thing: Congrats to England, USA and Ghana for reaching the last sixteen!

I'm relieved, camouflage tactic sounds good. Hopefully it works next Sunday.

I'm especially happy for the US. Though I just read something interesting about the US and soccer. They wrote that most people in the US don't like tying in sports, almost none of their sports allow for that. And that it is actually worse to tie than to lose. So even though the first two games of the US team were wins in most peoples eyes around the world, for US citizens it felt like losing. That might explain part of why soccer isn't that popular in the US..

Actually, soccer is popular in the States. To me, the problem is that they insist on doing it their way. It has to be a monetary show first.
There are more kids playing soccer than all sports combined...in North America!!!

Ah well. Australia's out, but they went down in style. 2-1 versus Serbia, and the game itself was well played and very exciting to watch. I'm proud of the guys, they've conducted themselves well and played their best, even with some very dodgy decisions from referees at times.

Now, let's see how far New Zealand can get! Ha, they're practically another state of Australia anyway.

Go the all-whites!

The general consensus seems to be that the guys don't have much of a chance against Paraguay, but I'm quite sure they'll give it their very best.

PC, probably. Book, also probable... Maybe even the TV, watching a DVD!

But, as I've no idea when it'll be, I can't actually answer that question
