Algeria held their own, but Germany pulled it out. I want to see US win and I can see them win it in PK's...

I really enjoyed the Germany-Algeria match. It wasn't the one-sided show I thought it would be.
France-Germany in the next round should be interesting as both teams started off great but kinda blow hot and cold now.
I fancy Argentina to beat hapless Switzerland and Belgium to eliminate the US (sorry guys). But who knows?

Congrats to Belgium on beating Team USA, what a game Belgium played and what a stellar game Tim Howard (16 saves) had, but in the end Howard couldn't save them all. This was a good run for USA and I'm proud of the team, so I look forward to the rest of this years Cup...

I am suffering from WC withdrawal today...will only get worse tomorrow!
Great run by the Team USA, I am hopeful that we'll continue to improve, the more US Players who get European league experience the better we are going to be and the results will continue to improve.

I look forward to seeing who makes the finals and I'm also looking forward to the continued MLS season. I know that the MLS is not on par with the World Cup or the EPL, but I enjoy watching Major League Soccer and having both the World Cup & MLS running is a good time...
It was a good World Cup for Team USA and I'm glad they got where they did, but I am hoping one day they'll get further in the Tournament and not settle for finishing in the Final 16, but to be a force with the other World powers...

When I lived in the US, I went to Columbus Crew games.
As an Englishman, the WC has been a disaster but as a lover of football it's been great.
Colombia may upset the hosts...?

An all South American Final would be awesome...
Alas, I think we'll be seeing an all European Final.
I just don't know if Brazil will be able to score enough without Neymar, Jr. (although it is a great "win one for the Gipper" moment) and the German's have been "off" a little and this game should be the one for them to "come" back.
And I think the Dutch just have too much for Argentina. Messi might be magic, but Robben, RVP, and cast know this is "their" tournament to win and Argentina are in the way...
Of course, my prognostication skills are questionable so I am just hoping for two really good games this week leading to the Finals.

Holy Germany! 5-0 halfway through the first half. What a drubbing.
