Well i suppose both sets of US and England fans are in a state of shock
USA even though you went a goal down i still thought you would come back and win it all i can think of is that the African crowd was there 12th man . Overall the USA have got to play at the start of a game ,in the frame of mind ,like they do when there 1-0 down
England were a shambles and Germany throughly deserved to win . I personally hope they dont sack Capello for it was the players who let him down in this tournament very badly . He got us to the finals with ease and to me that doesnt make him a bad manager overnight .
England now have an ageing team and its time for a clear out and build
Argentina look good ,but the dark horses for me are Holland ,who are playing as a team in this world cup for once
The Spain v Portugal game on tuesday should be a cracker

OK. Where do I start.
England were a shambles. Regardless if that goal had stood we were played off the park.
Our players did nothing to enhance their reputations or justify the amount of money they earn. Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc have proved to us all that they are not world class as everyone seems to refer to them as. They have consistantly failed on the world stage.
As for Capello, I'm in two minds. He said that he will only pick players who are: 1. Playing regularly for their club. 2. Who are in form. 3. Will not take injured players.
Step forward Emile Hesky. Was not a regular starter for Aston Villa. Only scored 5 goals. Hardly form for an international striker.
Oh but hang on..... Rooney likes playing with him. Oh well, that's alright then. We can't upset Wayne can we????
Darren Bent. Scored 24 goals for Sunderland and didn't get a look in.
Then there's the injured players. Gareth Barry. Hardly a world beater but Capello was insistsnt that we be part of the squad. Clearly not fully fit and clearly not good enough at this level.
As much as I like Ledley King and I believe when fit he is our best central defender he should have gone because of his persistant knee problems. He only lasted 45 mins against the USA and then came off injured.
The decision to bring Jamie Carragher after he had retired from international football was mindnumbing and showed the lack of depth of any good players. And that the fact he tried to get Paul Scholes at the 11th hour says it all.
Capello was brought in to change the way we played and the whole set up. The fact that Sven Goran Ericsson got further than the 2nd round on two occassion means that unfortunately I believe that Capello will be asked to leave which will be unfair because the players have let him down badly.
I think he should be given another chance to try and redeem himself for the European Championships and learn from the mistakes from this World Cup.

Some evil quarter finals your predictions
my picks are these
Germany to beat Argentina ( i think the Germans will wind up the Argies and get them sent off ) and if it goes to penalaties the Germans always win
Spain to beat Paraguay
Holland to beat Brazil ... yes i know but i just have a feeling Hollands going to win the competition
Uraguay to beat Ghana

I agree with all those picks, Raider. The only one I have slight reservations about is the Holland-Brazil match. I think Holland has a slight edge, especially with Arjen Robben back, but Brazil is such a good team that it makes it a tough call. Got some good matches coming up!!
C'mon Spain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fancy Holland too but I think this game will go to extra time.
Extra time for Argentina v Germany as well and have been changing my mind on this one everyday. Right now I'm going for an Argentina win.
Spain to ease past Paraguay.
Again I'm going for a draw for Uruguay v Ghana with Uruguay winning on penalties.
-
Well Holland beat the mighty Brazil ( as i predicted ) and sorry they must surely be in the final now after Uraguay just scrapping through against Ghana ,and how unlucky were they missing that penalty with seconds to spare !!!
I cant wait for the Argentina v Germany game later today

The semis
Davy
I fancy the obvious on this game
Holland to beat Uraguay ( Holland are at last playing as a team and Uraguay are going to be knackered after the Ghana game )
Germany to beat Spain ...( Germany are on a roll now and i really think Spain will be on the defensive scared of a counter attack which is not their natural game )

I'm going for 2-1 Spain.
I don't want Arjen Robben getting a winners medal. He is a disgrace to the game with his diving and play acting.

What a sloppy game
Congrats to Spain but I have to say it was full of sloppy play. Anyway, time to tuck away the Vuvuzelas for awhile..

Thankfully Spain won. The Dutch were very disappointing even though they had the better chances. If they had just played football we would have had a better game and a couple of goals.
After the two exciting semi finals and the 3rd/4th play off, this game was pretty dull in comparison.
Well Done Spain

Was anything done special at the World Showcase during the games? Would be kind of cool if the games had been broadcast there.....
