    One thing I've noticed about Germany is they dont whine. Whereas you see some players going down like they broke their leg over a little tap, the Germans seem to take a broken leg and brush it off as a little tap.

    Extreme metaphor yes, but you get the point

    It's about the footballing cultures of different countries mostly. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that most of the players you saw diving were from South America and southern Europe? In northern European countries like Germany and England, the games are a lot more physical and diving/theatrics isn't accepted and can even get a booking. Not that that would happen at this World Cup, considering the standard of refereeing so far...

Well, since both of those teams are out, I shall support the Winner of the Netherlands/Uruguay game, and the loser in the Third place match. Forlan is a great playmaker, as is Sneijder. I think The Dutch just have more depth all around the field, and will just outlast Uruguay.
    **** Uruguay. They're *******s. Ghana should've won.

    Woody, I wholeheartedly agree that Ghana should have won. But Gyan missed the PK conceided by Suarez, so they have no body to blame but themselves. Uruguay was punished to the full extent of the rule. Suarez got ejected for an intentional handball in the box, and a penalty was given. It is no different that someone in basketball basically tackling a guy in the act of shooting. It is no more cheating than that. So therefore I blame Ghana for not winning. They had the oppertunity to win. Multiple times. The Boatang header that sailed wide. The first two attempts before the Suarez hand ball. The Gyan pk in the 120+1' min. then Mensah shooting an epic fail of a PK for the third one. Then their fourth PK. So, Ghana killed themselves. Also, Paraguay should have beaten Spain. So it should have been Netherlands/Ghana. And Germany/Paraguay. The only reason that Spain seemed to play terribly against Paraguay is the simple fact that Paraguay played an exceptional game. I think that germany/Spain will be a much more open game. Paraguay had conceided one goal in almost the previous 5 hours of football. Paraguay nearly gave Spain their second huge sulfide of the world cup. But what is done is done. Deal with it.
    Arathorn, thanks so much! Its amazing!
