That was quite an upset. The first big upset of this World Cup Finals. Can't wait for Friday!

It's going to be a fantastic quarterfinals, regardless of your biases. :wink:
I think the Argentina vs. Germany game will decide this year's champion.

Jetzt erst mal abwarten. Wenn Deutschland an den Argentiner vorbei kommen sind die im Finale meiner Ansicht nach. Wer sonst will sie stoppen; die Italiener?

Natuerlich nicht. Niemand kann sie stoppen.
Weltmeister wird nur der DFB, nur der DFB, nur der DFB. Aber erstmal sind die Argentinier dran.

I caught a QF preview show last night and got to see alot more of Argentina than I had previously saw. They look good and are my pick to upset Germany tommorow.
England IMO hasn't shown anything that would suggest they can beat a Portugese team that's playing pretty well.
But Brazil looks unstoppable.
