Very happy to see Spain/Portugal NOT go to PKs. What a godawful way that is to end a game. It might actually be worse than the field goal kicking contest that is the NFL overtime.

Germany - Argentina should be the most interesting QF in my opinion. Brazil - Netherlands has many great players but both teams can stifle games in midfield. I want Spain to win now.

I'm definitely looking forward to the Germany/Argentina match.
The Brazil/Holland winner (that's just a fancy way of saying "Brazil") certainly has the easiest path to the finals.

I thought I noticed them NOT singing the slightly militaristic "Deutschland Uber Alles". Has the German national anthem changed?

I want to hate Germany - it's in my blood - but not only are they good, they are fun to watch too dammit. It hasn't been a superstar's WC yet except maybe for David Villa. I hope Germany - Spain is not as one-sided as today, don't think it will be - Spain has the best midfield in the world, and Argentina doesn't have one at all. The Paraguay game was about 90% so-so, and 10% WTF. Anyway, probably the best collection of QF's I've seen - they are usually far more cagey.
Doesn't look like it will be South America's WC after all.......right, Uruguay

I DVRd Spain/Paraguay and managed to avoid all info regarding the result, so as to enjoy it. PKs were pretty crazy in that game. Spain will need to be better if they want to beat the Germans. Right now, the Germans are certainly the favorites to win the cup, though I suppose Holland has the easier route.

Colombia cops find World Cup made of cocaine
14-inch-high statue found at airport, inside box headed for Spain
BOGOTA, Colombia - Fans worldwide have fashioned replicas of the World Cup trophy out of everything from papier-mache to plastic. But a lawbreaker in Colombia gets top prize for most original material: cocaine.
Airports anti-drug chief Col. Jose Piedrahita says that Colombian authorities found the unusual statue during a routine security check by anti-drug agents Friday in a mail warehouse at Bogota's international airport.
The 14-inch-high statue was inside a box headed for Madrid, Spain. The statue was painted gold with green stripes on the base.
