They were a good team, played well together.

If both teams can serve up something like that again I shall be very happy.

That was a decent Belgian team.

Don't know who I want, USA, Portugal or Ghana? (I am assuming that Germany will take the other place).

Why the hell did they not just play football for crying out loud. They screwed up badly in those last nine minutes. But oh no! Try to waste time, bring everyone back into their own penalty area and just boot it up field to give the Portuguese possession.

A perfect example of how to screw yourself. Insanity.

Maybe you're too harsh Barricading yourself does not guarantee you will be 100% safe either.

Unlucky Portugal Their two strikers out (injured). Ronaldo is only playing at 20%-30% of his capacity (the knee problem). What's left then? A normal, average team, nothing special. They won't get too far I suspect.

If we keep things in perspective, for the Americans, grabbing 4 points in two matches IS a huge victory.

And every time England did it I was raging at the TV. At least England had the excuse that they could not pass, control, or hold the ball. An inability to play football other than hoof it and chase was a feature of England's play for many years. I would argue that emulating England at their worst is not a sane strategy for any team.

I may be being a little unfair on the Americans but I can't help feeling that they shot themselves in the foot.

Dutch looking good. But there is a long way to go yet.

Best wishes,
Steve
