NOW we're getting the free kick goals ... from Japan.

Jep. However, Switzerland needs to win with 2 goals difference to surely qualify and even a top-notch Spain managed that just so - I don't expect them to achieve that, but keep my fingers crossed.
And if Chile plays against Spain as they did against Switzerland.... it will be an interesting match.

The goalkeeper held the ball. The worst thing in that episode is the italian player that rest in the ground looking for I don't know what, and Italy had to do a goal. That palyer were the best for italian team.

1st world cup and Slovakia beat the world champions ? Thumbs up guys. That's impressive and I'll cheer for you. Japan is the team that impresses me the most though. My favorite so far. I was hoping to see Cote d'Ivoire pulling through phase 1, at least. Oh well...
Strange world cup indeed but outsiders have a real chance to go pretty far this year. Also, I had high expectations on England - Germany, but after the latest events, I don't know what to expect.

Isn't the ball supposed to be kicked out by the goalkeeper after the goal? I'm sorry, but that was a brutal attack on the goalkeeper, the Italian player had no right to be there, as far as i get the rules. Thus only expanding my regard for Italian Football.;/

YEAH!
Portugal goes through without conceding a single goal. Very nice to have both Brazil and Portugal on the last 16.
Still, tough times ahead for both these teams, let's see what happens in Group H.

Pfff... 0 - 0
Coming up in 2hs is Spain vs Chile, a good match possibly.

Let's hope so, because Brazil x Portugal was disappointing to say the least.

Neither team needed to win, so this was a pretty guessable outcome. People expecting a mind blowing match played at full speed weren't being realistic.

I think above everything else Portugal wanted to go through on its own merits and not because Côte d'Ivoire failed to score a gazillion goals against DPR and that meant not to lose this match.
Well, they're both trough, i'm happy ;)

Yep, that's what matters.
EDIT: ahhh, I've forgot to post this: Goodbye, Italy and France! :)

Woot ! What a goal.

Gooooooooooaaaaaal for Spain! Nicely done.
