the big surprize so for is Costa Rica, who was considered to be the weakest team in group D, as the other three are former World Cup champions

Costa Rica has secured a position in the next round, even if they lose their last game against England,......Italy and Uruguay will battle it out for the other position from group D

France sure looked good yesterday, also securing an advancement to the next round, it will be a good battle to see which other team advances from group E

Argentina and Iran in about an hour....one would think Argentina will dominate but Iran is looking decent

If Argentina doesn't start playing better they will not make it far in the tourney, barely scraped by Iran.
True, Argentina was not playing their best but I'll give Iran some credit, as they played very solid defense and had excellent goal tending

Iran was playing for the tie, Argentina was going for the win

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the England Football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Brutal day for Italian fans, as their team played well but not good enough to beat Uruguay

Costa Rica, who would have guessed? I hope they play well in the next round

Cote D'Ivoire should have advanced but that late penalty shot gave Greece the win

Columbia is looking extremely good, this team should do well in the round of 16

Agree on Columbia, they're putting a lot in the net.

Netherlands most likely will end mexico's run. Van Persie will be back after his suspension too. They just seem too strong.

I don't think Greece is going to be match at all for Costa Rica, who's been on fire.

I much as I would want Mexico to win, there's no way I'll bet against Holland, as that's an impressive team that could very well go all the way

Greece is the weakest team advancing, and Costa Rica is looking rather respectful as such will likely prevail.

Excited to see how the USA matches up against the beast that is Germany today.

Of course I just want to get through to the knockout stage but I think we can run with them if Ghana did.

Go USA!!!
