But Brazil looks unstoppable.
Disagree. Even though Brazil won 3-0, Ghana more than played them straight up. Counters killed them, as did an early ill-advised offsides trap. But they missed several golden chances.

Brazil's defense is suspect, IMO. Yes, they are scary on offense, and that may carry them through, but I think they are beatable.

So I was having a conversation with this 67 year old at work on the messenger.

This is what happens when old people with broke English get serious about soccer:

Tahirovic, D says: tomorrow
Tahirovic, D says: germany against argentnia
Tahirovic, D says: BIG GAME
Del Rosario, R says: ronaldo the best ...he will make boraski and klaus amateurs like you
Tahirovic, D says: u don't know anything
Del Rosario, R says: u dont know ur soccer
Del Rosario, R says:klous and boraski are sweethearts...he,,,he
Tahirovic, D says: im not coming tomorrow
Del Rosario, R says: don't waste your time. argentina will just beat the crap out of germany and i don't want you to feel bad tom.
Tahirovic, D says: oh if that happens
Tahirovic, D says: i will come
Tahirovic, D says: and work for free
Tahirovic, D says: if not
Tahirovic, D says: you will be my buttler for a week
Del Rosario, R says: deal
Tahirovic, D says: and you will clean my shoes
Del Rosario, R says: as long as you hold my shit...

I'm hyped that I'm going to miss both games, Hoorah!!

One of the two guys I work with decided to go on a 3 week European vacation last week so I'm glued to the office. Can't take anytime time off until he's back.

These guys are playing way too cautiously. Hopefully the second half will be better.

What a boring game. I couldn't count ONE chance. Last two games between the 2 ended 2-2 each time.

Podolski needs to be taken out before he gets a second yellow.

I'll tell you.. this game started off oh so boring, but has really picked up in the last 15 minutes or so... and overall the 2nd half has been good.

These Argentines are the biggest cheaters off the world cup so far. All that time wasting and diving in the box. I don't wanna see them play in the final.

It looks like there was contact in the box there. Could have been a PK.

That should have just been a PK - too bad they're getting the hometown calls.
