Life is what you've made of it.
Random Thoughts. I don't think I've yet seen the winner of the tournament. Columbia looked good, but playing Greece will do that. Netherlands looked the best, and could go a long way.
Spain is still in it, but a change in goal is mandatory. Remaining games are both winnable and 6 points is more than enough.
From group A I still like Brazil and Croatia to advance. Cameroon looks really bad. Mexico has a chance.
From group B, Netherlands and Spain to advance. Chile and Spain will clash in the key game in this group. Even a tie would be fatal for Spain. Chile did look good against the Aussies who have no chance.
I originally picked Columbia and the Ivory Coast to advance in Group C and that looks pretty good.
Group D is tough. I picked Italy and England to advance. Uruguay is in big trouble. I can't see them advancing. What to make of Costa Rico? A good team but the English and Italians are more disciplined and should both beat them. No clear favorite here, but Uruguay must beat either England or Italy and at least tie the other to have a chance. I'll go with Italy and England my first choice, though I admit to not being real happy with the English play today.
