Yeah - there were some great games, the Brazil-Croatia was very good, and will bode for an interesting match when we play Brazil.

As for the times though - the games start at 11pm - and finish at 7 in the morning
The sleep deprivation has begun

hahahaahah sorry to hear that, those hours are terrible, unless you´re doing absolutely nothing with your life and can afford such a time change.

P.S.: It was a shame that Trinidad & Tobago got eliminated, also Poland, they both played real good matchs (i bet nobody will miss Ukraine though).

I have adjusted my lifestyle to suit it... so far I have only missed 3 games...

But yeah, you are right, I would have loved to see Trinidad and Tobago make it through - and I won't be crying in my sleep over Ukraine....

Two missed penalties and out goes Ivory Coast (2-1)... the saddest loss so far, Argentina had a goal-fest (6-0), pretty impresive! Congrats angentinians!.

I actually thought the Ivory Coast would come through - they are a great team.

Sweden had big trouble with Trinidad&Tobago (0-0) and scored in the last minute (litterally) against Paraguay. Next is England

So does that mean that you only need a draw with England to go through?

Hey guys I just want to let you know that besides watching as much as I can, I’ve been putting bets on as well on www.tabonline.com.au Well so far two matches England & Trinidad 2-0 and Holland & Ivory coast 2-1 worked out real well. Because of those two I raked in $1516.40 so far!!! Cheers

Well, its us vs. Croatia tomorrow - Australia has to draw or better to make it through.

There have been a few good games, Argentina vs. Netherlands for one - even if it was scoreless encounter. Ghana did very well to beat the Czech Republic.
Portugal is looking pretty good too - 5 goals for, 1 against.

It was unfortunate... But credit to the Italian defence for holding up for half of the game with only 10 on the field.

But oh, the heartbreak... Thats soccer.

I was sorry to see Sweden get knocked out too hagg, I really like them.
