No more Kaka in the Cup......

The commentators were talking about the player who lost his father in the days leading to the Cup....

(I do not remember the player or the team-)
Before the game against Iran the Iranian players gave him flowers to honor his loss.

A simple game gets the world to forget the BS that keeps us apart.

I can't believe England and Brazil didn't advance....

I believe the red card wasn't for stepping on the private parts but for the shove given to the portughese player right in front of the ref.
These last matches are certainly going to be interesting!

GO TO POLLS: I POSTED A POLL ABOUT.... WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?

Actually, here is a link:

Condolences to the German fans out there!

Oh wow.
Incredible goals.

It was total chaos over here with all the flags and honking and jerseys and everything! Insanely fun!

I'm so anxious to see who will advance tomorrow!

Germany....

A great game.

Do not have heavy hearts..

As hosts you were wonderful.

Drew Carey is the host of a wonderful program on the Travel Channel..

Bring it home for third place...

We're all very disappointed here. It was a great match, both teams played well, and we were already expecting penalties - but then.... two goals in the last minute of the extra time are really devastating.

But congrats to Italy for being in the final!! Tonight, either France or Portugal will follow.

But I'm sad that the dream is over. The last weeks here were just incredible, the world cup fever has created such an positive energy that was all over the country, a corporate feeling I've never experienced before. It was just nice, seeing everyone with those flags, being a part of the whole thing, and I would have loved to see this going on for a few more days.

But it wasn't meant to be.

Thank you for the Congratulations Kirsten.
You are a great sport.
I too, cannot believe what happened in just a few short minutes.
I was truly convinced we were going to the penalty kicks.... and lose.

I won't be able to see the match today because I am at work.
Keep me posted.

Being a huge sports fan I always have to ask..

Had Italy scored those goals in the first minute how would the game been changed?

I guess my question is,

Is it better to lose at the end or play 2 goals down from the beginning?
