I can't think of not waking up to turn on a game! I agree that the Argentina vs Mexico game was the best followed by Spain vs France. The Holland vs Portugal game would have been so much more fun if the game had not got out of control as the players decided to takle each other and not the ball and the ref did not have the presence to make the game flow properly and the coaches did not intervene to get their players to focus on the game and not tackling each other. After the round of 16, Germany looks like the strongest team with home team advantage entering the quarter finals. Brasil the defending champions look very shaky with a poor defense and selfish players in front of the goal. But as the Spain vs France game today showed, this WC is wide open and any of the major teams can win. It all depends on who shows up that day to play and if the coaches can get their players to play like a real team. This WC is sooooo addictive. I can’t think of not waking up to turn on a game!
