Don't underestimate Brazil. They are playing at home and will get better as the tournament progresses. They are the big favorite to win it all. No team outside of South America has ever won the tournament when it was held in the Western Hemisphere.

Brazil is a lot like Italy when it comes to doing just enough to advance. This year, Italy just fell short.

We’ll see, I don’t want to step on the toes of any country, I say good if we see brand new countries in the World Cup finals instead of the same old teams.

Also part of the fun is seeing whatever countries show up, Greece, Costa Rica, they will face each other in the next round but good for them. This is the part of the sport I enjoy, not just seeing Brazil or Germany or Argentina play.

If that’s what one is interested in, so be it.

This sure isn’t a Brazil when they have had so many greats, Romario and so on.

Messi is finally producing for the Argies, that bodes well for them.

And Colombia has played really well, don’t forget about them.
