First Spain, now Italy.

What have you been smoking? It's Spain and England that have been sent home.

Wait, England was also in the competition?

Spain is a crappy leauge, they only have two or three good (in international terms) teams. I would put France and Germany ahead of them at this point, maybe even Russia and the Dutch.

And of course, looking outside Europe, there is South America. Now those are very tough and demanding leagues, and it shows in the world cup.

I'm sorry, but that's rubbish. Spain: just look at the past seaon. Real, Atletico, Barcelona, Valencia and Sevilla all came far in either Champions League or EuroLeague, outperforming any other national league. 3 of the 4 finalists were Spanish. South American leagues are not that brilliant - almost all their best players are playing in Europe.

Next match: Germany vs. Ghana

While Ghana may be the strongest team from the african continent, my guess is a 3:0 win for germany.

Well, 2:2, and Ghana really deserved it. 

Yupp!
and Ghana even was closer to a (deserved) win than Germany.

Great game (in the 2nd half), my fingernails are now significantly shortened.

Great Polish striker...i mean German striker

Born in communist Poland 1978, left communist Poland 1978. Germany's all-time top scorer. Tied for the most goals scored in the World Cup with Ronaldo.
