Down to the final four, already!?!

the World Cup is coming to a close. Looks like we are going to have an all-European semi-final. France knocked out the defending champion, Brazil. That was a total shock because I had totally written off France in the group stages. But Zizou came out of nowhere and looked again like the great player he was a few years back.

Italy had a no-brainer victory over of one dimensional Ukrainian attack (Schevchenko doesn’t score, they don’t win) and to many of my good friends’ dismay Portugal eliminated England in penalties. I hope that will see a few more goals in the semi-finals and no more penalty shoot outs.
