The winner of Germany v. Argentina will face the winner of Brazil v. France in the final match.

Discuss.

Wait, how could Italy face Argentina in the final? If both teams win their next matches, they'll face each other next round in the semifinals, correct?

This is ESPN's Cup bracket. (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/worldcup/bracket?cc=5901)

I'd love to see an Argentina-Brazil final. I think Argentina can beat the other teams in its bracket. As for the other, Brazil and France are on fire right now. I think the winner of that match will be too much for England or Portugal.

Oops, I'm talking nonsense, not for the first time today. Sorry. But I think my point was meant to be that I wouldn't write off Italy or Portugal just yet. Portugal are cynical and talented and would have their suspended players back for the semifinal (assuming they beat England as they ought to).

I think Ukraine are the only side who don't look capable of beating any of the others. An Argentina-Brazil final would contain probably the most entertaining of the teams left in. France didn't really impress me today, though - they're bumbling a bit.

Cynical, that's a good word for the Portugese team. ;)

I agree on that count. I think it'll be Italy-Argentina in the semis.

Yeah? I haven't seen the game yet, gotta catch it tonight on the replay. I was actually surprised they beat Spain, truthfully. I foolishly assumed it was due to skill. ;)

Well, France were the better side in the second half, but it was generally quite even. Their second goal was a bit lucky and the third mainly a result of Spain throwing everyone forward. I thought Spain would do better too.
