CONFIDENTIAL TO THE ENGLISH

[quesarah]

Um kay, haven't been commenting much on World Cup because SO.MUCH.SPORTS.OMG. Doesn't mean I haven't been following. (Actually, my whole company is in the throes of World Cup fever right now. The sports page is a hot commodity, trading for at least 3 packs of smokes on the blackmarket. Seriously.)

So. Here's the thing.

Sweden.
England.
Tie??

What the hell, people? You give up an early lead and let the Swedes tie the game in the last minute. Oh for shame! Your boys had better shape up; at this rate, I'll be putting money on the Germans to take the whole thing.

I haven't seen the Argentina-Netherlands match yet, so comments there. As for Mexico, they advanced and I'm happy. I'll be curious to see the Argentina-Mexico and Portugal-Netherlands matches, though.

Don't get me started about US-Ghana. Oy!

On that note...

I can't see Germany beating a quality team - their defence will struggle against Sweden and Argentina - assuming they get past Mexico - could run riot.

My money would be on Spain at this stage.

Really? I haven't seen them play yet, though I've heard that they're gelling and really impressive right now.
