Watching England destroy Panama made me even more depressed about the US not making the tournament. Puke.
But, yeah, the games are still worth watching. Columbia looks pretty damn good right now. The Japan Senegal (who?) game was surprisingly awesome.
Here's a map of senegal if you, like me, have no idea where it is.

That's a very good Poland team Colombia did that against. Quite a clinic. Plus, Colombian women.

It would be awesome if Brazil and Germany faced each other in the round of 16. I'd personally love to see a Columbia/Belgium matchup as well.

Argentina - Nigeria should be awfully good tomorrow afternoon. Argentina can still get through if they win that game and Croatia beats Iceland.
I wonder, if you're Croatia. You're going to win the group with anything other than Nigeria beating ARG by like 5+ goals and you losing to ISL. Basically, your fate is sealed and you've got the group in hand. So do you see it as "let's just play this for a draw and run it almost like a practice in front of a crowd. If we lose it's ok, because it makes sure Argentina, a far more dangerous team than Nigeria, is not in our path later."? If they allow ISL to beat them then ARG has to beat NIG by at least 2 to get through since fair play determines final tiebreaker. Croatia could basically toss the game to keep Argentina out.

France and Spain have been entirely underwhelming group winners.

So Argentina just gets to use their hands, huh? Super lame. I guess pre-fat bird-flying Maradona had that put in the rulebook?
What was the ref watching on the monitor, Messi's Adidas commercial?
I'm looking forward to rooting against them in the knock out rounds.
Hopefully Germany plays well. All the elite teams are coasting through on half-assed performances. Maybe Colombia can BLOW (that's a drugs joke) through these fakers. That would be fun.

Crazy - but if Sweden and Germany win 1-0, Mexico will be out. I think.
update. wowsa, Sweden. now Germany can be in with 1-0,...and not looking like it will happen.
Amazing that either Mexico or Germany will have to take backdoor into the 16.
