The Nigeria-Argentina matchup is the toughest one to call but my money on the Africans no matter what.  Ghana will put Peru on a plane and I see Germany and Spain advancing in their respective games.  The Germany-usa game was real nice today and the usa had it all to do to fend off the big tall African that playing up front for Germany.  :beermug:

England have had an somewhat easy ride. Germany will be a real test for them.
Nigeria vs Argentina only the brave will survive dam!

Pretty awful tournament for Concacaf confirmed.

Not 1 Qfinalist for the first time since 1997, we'll be sure to lose a spot unless we happen to be hosting in 2 years

If a European team doesn't win it all though, they really blight, because they're guaranteed to have two teams in the semis who won't be playing each other.

Lets see how it pans out. I have to back Nigeria in all of this because they have to beat Argentina and I like to see African sides do well.I woulda support Ghana but I can't do that after they put 4 past us
Go Black if you want Jack to Track Back! I support all Soca Warriors - Red, White and Blacklisted.

Well, in the past both Nigeria and Ghana have performed well in this tournament. They have 4 titles between them in the 10 competitions.
Brazil has three with France, Saudi and Mexico having 1 a piece.
The European teams have a good chance to make the finals the way the draw is, but I feel Nigeria will pips Argentina and move on to take the title this year.
To be fair I have not seen the games given the time they come across but I hope to catch a few of the quarters.
well yes
