]I take it England won in that game? Erm.....no we lost that one too - on penalties. At least, on that occasion, we gave the Germans a game and played excellent football. This time we were an embarrassment and I'm glad we got beaten so thoroughly. They didn't play one decent match.

Quarterfinals: WINNER #1 - Holland WINNER #2 - Uruguay WINNER #3 - Germany WINNER #4 - Spain Semi-finals: WINNER #5 - Holland WINNER #6 - Spain 3rd PLACE - Germany Final: Champions - Spain Boy, it's tough to pick these! My head says Germany have looked the strongest so far, but, as my better half just said from the couch, she thinks they've had an easier time of it and I'm inclined to agree. No offense to England, of course. I wanted them to do well, I really did! A winning England means a happy Stevie and that can only bode well for the upcoming season. Of course, it didn't turn out that way... Top, if you don't me asking, is your daughter an football fan? And if so, has she ever done the math?

Dear me. Can I choose again?? Only got 1 out of 4 right. Poor Ghana. They seemed to have the luck of the English - ie no luck at all. The Argentina result makes the England result look less appalling. At least we managed two goals . Never even contemplated Holland beating Brazil. Top, if you don't me asking, is your daughter an football fan? And if so, has she ever done the math? She knows the Maths. Have joked that she would have been called Jurgen if she'd been a boy. No, she has no interest in football, although she and her boyfriend watched the Germany match with us. Questions like 'what's offside?' and 'what's a foul?' escaped her lips in between painting her finger nails........

Here's my revised version (only if CB and RM are okay with it).
Champions=Holland Netherlands just because Wesley Sneijder is the coolest footballer. ;D
Runner-ups=Germany
Third place=Spain

We said the same thing. "Geez, Diego, even England got two past the Germans! I didn't in the beginning, and my original office picks reflected that. But we did a re-draw at work the same as we did here, and Brazil in the group stages didn't astound me. They just seemed slightly off, though I'm not sure I can articulate why I felt that way. Holland seemed to be playing really well as a unit and I thought they looked good. LOL!!! I really like Sneijder. Have been meaning to get an Inter Milan shirt with his name and # on the back. Class player.
