Next up:


Mexico Vs Angola 

I'll be cheering for Angola on this one. 
There are already too many Mexican supporters among my group of friends ...

That's a total shock to me. I think Mexico will stay advance to the next round, but Angola won't be so lucky. They had to win this one. A tie was not enough..

I guess so.
Everybody was expecting Mexico to rip Angola apart ..but it ended at a tie and 0 : 0 at that...

Mexico will still advance to the next round I think, but nonetheless this was a good performance on Angola's part.

Anyways what do you guys think about tomorrow?

Portugal - Iran: If Iran is playing as poorly as it did against Mexico, it is finished. I think Portugal.
Italy - USA: Must I say anything about this besides.. LOL....
Czech Republic - Ghana: This is actually a hard call. I think the Czechs.

Giancarlo, thanks for the link to the schedule!

[Giancarlo]

Oh well... I guess I wasn't right or wrong about that one. Both teams did rather sluggishly...

Well, I just have to say this. I am cheering for Holland. They are now 2-0 and you know what? I think they are going to win it. Yes. The Champions!

If for some TERRIBLE reason, Holland does not pull through, I hope England wins it. They are really doing good this year too.

And, if England doesn't win, I hope the U.S. wins  it.

Have I confused you yet? Well, don't worry about anything I just said, because Holland WILL win this year.

[Giancarlo]

The US couldn't win it even if they tried. I don't think they are going to even get into the next round.

They haven't even been able to score a single goal for themselves. Just wait until they face up against Ghana, which played better then Italy today. I don't think Holland will win this year. I actually think Argentina will, though I'm always hopeful for Spain. Argentina has Messi... who scored several goals in no time. He's actually the greatest Argentine player since Maradona some might say.

I don't think Holland will win this year.

You might be right. But, I have a good feeling about The Netherlands this year. I sure hope they win!
