Jansen is gonna play for Boateng. He is more experienced and can also score. Just don't know if he is at a 100% after his injury yet.

Kroos could be hit or miss. Might fuck up, or might become a new star...there is a reason why Bayern didn't sell him.

Argentina , Germany , England and Mexico .. it's pretty sick that only one of these teams will make it to the semifinal..

Like the mexicans here on siccness i also believe they might beat Argentina. And i wouldnt call it an upset if they do. They have been playing great so far. And i believe England will step their game up playing Germany. There is no easy game from here on. Making it to the last 16 is like a fresh start. Like the first game in the group stage where you cant rely on other results than your team winning. Attack attack attack!!!

Uraguay unlucky with the Suarez offside and they also should have got a penalty after the SK defender lead with his arm.

SK are being reduced to long shots that are not on target, the early free kick hit the bar though thats where they are looking dangerous.

Uraguay should get another goal in the second half, they seem to be relaxed in defence and attack and able to make a smooth transition along the field.

This game could be alot closer if SK come out alot more composed and get some shots on target, but Uraguay should go through now that SK will have to get forward alot more and spaces will open up for the likes of Saurez to punish them.

Final 2-1 Uraguay I think.

ghana closing down well and getting numbers behind the ball when the US counters, they can't keep it up for 90 minutes so I'm predicting a late US goal 1-1 going to extra time..

need to clean up those defensive errors and stop trying to play their way out of trouble, US needs to lift their game in the 2nd half

why did he shoot it if dempsey got fouled?
Donovan is first penalty shooter for USA i guess. You get to choose whoever you want when it comes to penalties. Plus , stats show that it's never good to take the penalty if youre the one who got fouled. Atleast that what they say..

solid 2nd half there, dominated but should of converted those chances, hope it doesn't bite the US in the ass.

kevin prince is off so thats a good thing, but appiah can take a penalty or two..

extra time anything can happen......

penalty shootouts can be heartbreaking....
