Interesting that, despite some upsets in the earlier rounds, the Cup is winding up as expected, with Germany, Brazil, and Argentina contesting for the Final spots. The only major upset was the early exit of Spain, with the Netherlands taking their expected place in the Semifinals.
As massive an upset as it looked, Spain was actually in the real Group of Death, with Netherlands and Chile both difficult opponents and serious contenders for the Semifinals. The right squad on the pitch, and Spain might have still been alive in the tourney today.
Anybody's for the taking at this point, but I'll be rooting for the possession teams still playing, Germany and Netherlands. Plus, I really have had enough of annoying religious proselytizing. Just play, and keep your religion to yourself. Go Atheist Countries!
