They seem to have some confidence issues, because they started fairly timidly against the Netherlands; only to start really playing once they realised they were indeed holding up well, and becoming very dangerous in the end. I didn't pick up their start in the Denmark game, but from what I saw in highlights and commentary, they didn't really get going until the first goal. If true, this might be a boost for them; they might finally have picked up that yes, they *do* belong in this tournament, and yes, they have gotten that good. They have a fairly positive, forward attitude, and some wonderful players. Everyone is raving about Honda, but what about Endo with his precision passes and free kicks? Or Matsui, who keeps raising hell both down the flanks and through the center? I like 'em. Japan-Paraguay could be a fun match.

"Who wants to fool will be fooled." Let's check milivella (thanks for having spelled it correctly! ;) ) vs. Clément's chances (I'm putting me first just because I proposed the bet and picked first, so you're actually playing "away"): m C ? BRA ? ? ESP ? ? ENG ? ? ARG ? ? GER ? 1 FRA 0 0 ITA 0 0 POR ? 1 SER 0 1 CIV 0 0 CHI ? 1 CMR 0 0 GHA ? milivella's score: min 4, max 9 (actually 5-8, since I'll get 1 and only 1 between ENG and GER) Clément's score: min 0, max 8 (actually 1-7, since you'll get 1 and only 1 between BRA and CHI) It's like my tournament has ended, I won't score any more point (bar a major upset or Brazil winning the cup), while yours starts here, since you have been forced to pick other-than-group-exit results for most of the teams. It's still very open! Indeed you just need a very realistic scenario like the following one to score 6 points and make me research about mighty Vasco: - USA beat GHA (1 point for you) - ARG beat MEX (1), then they either play against GER (1 in any case) or lose against ENG (1) - ESP beat POR (1), then win against JPN/PAR, then lose against ARG/ GER/ENG (1) - (as I said, you got 1 point from BRA vs. CHI anyway) What the heck. -- Cheers milivella

Missed a penalty, scored a goal, and got injured. All in the same action. The man's a regular Kinder Egg. With the goal, his first since February 2008, he finally ties the all-time scoring record for Denmark.
