Its South America not Europe in all quarters of FIFA 2010 WC

World cup has completed the prequarters round and all quarterfinal fixtures are decided. Now the world cup looks very very interesting.

Most notable thing is it was expected that European teams would be there in all quarterfinals, but its not to be. 4 South American teams have made it to the Quarters.

Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. With the exception of Paraguay , South American teams look to flock the Semi-final slots.

Spain defeated Portugal which is a very good thing for the World Cup. Spain bring a lot of style in their play. Portugal play like Tortoises. They defend heavily and attack on the counter.

Spain faces Paraguay next and it should be a comfortable passage for the Spanish Armada.

I fancy Uruguay will beat Ghana. Uruguay strikers, Forlan and Suarez, are the most wanted in Europe Market.

Argentina vs Germany and Brazil vs Netherlands are the real stunning matches we can wait to see for. Germany and Argentina are quick and punish mistakes ruthlessly. Argentina is blessed with a string of forward players and Germany looks like a team on its high.

Brazil and Dutch are saying the same way of football but Brazil have the edge with Kaka, Robinho in their best form. Brazilian Goalkeeper is the best in the world currently.

My prediction for Semis :

Argentina vs Spain , Brazil vs Uruguay

Three Lions blown apart by German Blitzkrieg

Yesterday England football team was comprehensively defeated by the Germans. Germans were very much focused and worked harder than the English. England was too soft to fight with the Germans.

Germans outdid England physically and tactically. The German formation was very good, they defended well and attacked superbly. Bad luck was also with England as their efforts were either saved, hit the bar or referee would not allow them.

It was a sad ending for players like Gerrard, Lampard, Terry who will not be in next world cup probably. Rooney did not play well. He was the one who could have disturbed the German defense.

Germany are young side and they are very fast. Now they face Argentina in their quarterfinal encounter. Last world cup also the two teams had met and Germany had come out victorious on penalties.

This time Maradona will be sensing revenge. It will be a ‘Clash of the Titans’.

For me, now I am a neutral spectator. No more support any side. But I wish Spain to reach quarterfinals at least so that attractive football stays in the World Cup for long time.
