    Finally the 9th of june has arrived, Oh man I can't wait to see germany take a loss to Costa Rica.

    @Barmy

    I'll finally experience first hand how it is to watch football with complete England football freak. Met a guy here in South Korea who knows even more than you, gonna watch every game at his place, except the big games which I will see in a bar or in the park on the big screen.

    In the park? Isn't it the middle of winter? Why not stay in your warm and cosy house with the beer fridge close at hand for ALL the games?

    :doh:

    Oh well, lots of goals in that first game. Not good news for my German goalkeeper and defender though but at least I got my 2 goal margin right.

    Not much happening in this Poland v Ecuador game so far though.

    Good first game between Germany and Costa Rica. The Germans will have to sort that defence out though if they are serious about winning this competition. The defenders in Chesterfield league are less static than that! Good teams will take advantage. Good attacking football though.

    Poland and Ecuador is a bit of a shock so far. Fancy Ecuador taking the lead! But they're well in charge to be hones, as well!

    Germany has some serious defensive issues, but offensively they look surprisingly good. I guess all they can do is charge blindly and try to outscore every opponent, I mean 6-5 is also a win, no ?

    I'm glad they won though, Germany should go a long way on their own turf. I'm pretty sure that somewhere along the way the German team manages to grow and rise to the occasion, they always do.

    Group F: Brazil (1) and Japan (18)
    Group G: France (8) and Korea (29)
    Group H: Spain (6) and Tunisia (21)

    Final 16:
    Sweden beats Germany
    Netherlands beats Mexico
    England beats Costa Rica
    Mexico beats Argentina
    Czech beats Japan
    France beats Tunisia
    Brazil beats USA

    Brazil beats England

    Semifinals:

    Brazil beats Netherlands

    Final:
    Brazil beats Czech

    Bronze game:
    Netherlands beats Mexico


    Will someone post the odds for a few of the more "interesting" results above, please!

    Yeah, long live Italy!

    Also, I must tell you guys, watching Germany - Costa Rica in a church where beer, smokes, grill, and 100 drunk Germans were located was ESTATHIC.
