Spain and Holland, two perennial underachievers, are the only big names not to make it through to the quarters --
Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France and England all through
Only outsiders left are Ukraine. Not been such a top quality quarter finals for a long time, although it means not much in way of heroics for underdogs...
England and France don't really count with the other big boys.
My money is on Argentina.
A Euro team is going to win it in Europe. Go with the hosts.
"My money is on Argentina"
I have to agree. Though Italy seem to keep doing just enough in their inimitable style. They haven't greatly impressed me, but I wouldn't write them off.
