   England seems to be out too. Who here comes from a country who is still playing? The Netherlands are still in?

   I´m not sure "seems to be out" quite covered the monumental drubbing that we received. I´d like to think that this will herald a sea change in the way we train and develop our national squad, but it won´t. If we want to do better in international competitions, we need to chnage so many things, but we won´t and in four years time, exactly the same thing will happen.

   What happened to the refs yesterday? Are they completely blind? First they disallowed Lampard's goal. After that they allowed Tevez's goal, even though it was clearly offside.

   @ dutch: hi. I'm from Brazil, very much still in - at least until now :)
   Edit: actually all of us South Americans. Argentina is kicking ass left and right.

   Should be a classic - because this World cup needs one. Probably the most boring WC in years.

   No, the classic will be Germany vs Argentina - those two will fight like rabid dogs (and I'm totally cheering for Germany).
   As is, we're winning vs Netherlands right now.
   Edit: Epic fail... :(

   Hey, the Netherlands is through. I think it might be the Netherlands vs Germany in the finals. This should be pretty good as well.

    So, it'll be a Netherlands - Spain final, a new name of the cup and the first final that doesn't feature at least one of Brazil, Argentina, Italy or (W.) Germany.

    I'm starting to think that Paul the Oracle Octopus could well be the second coming of Jesus, and I have proof:

    - It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that Jesus would definitely come back as a human. This is proof that Jesus was planning to come back in another form.
    - Both have performed miracles. Jesus turned water into wine and healed the sick. Paul correctly guessed the winner of all six of Germany's World Cup games.
    - Both were persecuted for their beliefs. Jesus was crucified for his stand against dogma, while Paul is being threatened on Facebook by angry German fans, who want to make him into a paella.
    - Both Paul and Jesus are edible.

    Seriously folks, if you're not going to see the evidence that is right in front of your faces, there's no hope for you.

    It is obvious to me that Paul is not merely predicting the results. He is somehow causing them. Did anybody notice how the German players walked around the pitch in a zombified stupor? He is clearly using some sort of mind control stupifaction ray.

    I'm pretty angry at him using mind control to get England's second goal against Germany disallowed.
