Would you settle for a bracket link?

Now that we are past round one (group play), brackets are the easiest view for standings and implications.

Argentina by far are looking the best at this world cup. Im really looking forward to the Argentina V Germany game.

I managed to catch the highlights for the portugal v netherlands. The game was just meh. I hear one of the FIFA officals commented that the refree should have been yellow carded as well. LOL

Australia lost as well to italy. They managed to do well in holding the itallians back but just one goal in it.

Anybody saw the match between Australia and Italy? THERE WAS NO PENALTY! AT ALL! Refferee was terrible, and it is no exepction on this world cup. FIFA should do something. On the last second of match he saw penalty (and again: there was no penalty)! And the kick took place on 95th min, TWO MINUTES AFTER THE REGULAR TIME (90+3min)!
Aussie are way much better, they deserved to go to the next round. Italian players deserved Oscars for their performances (Argh! I was hit and almost lost both legs! Still, does my hair looks fine?).

Any how, just to spice things up...

My predictions are the same from the beginning. Germany vs Brazil in the Final with Brazil winning 3-1

You have to admit that Argentina have looked like a much better team then Germany. Germany have the home ground advantage which will make beating them hard but I have every bit of confidence that if any team can do it then argentina can.

I really would bank on Argentina winning but this is the world cup anything really could hapen. But yeah Im going for a brazil argentina final ...
