Don't forget the Dutch team and... the Dutch coaches working all over the world..!

indeed David, alot of the so called "big boys" just have not delivered yet ! England need Rooney firing again, seems to add an extra dimension, Sweden can`t hit a barn door really !! France look tired and predictable, even Germany look shaky even though they are scoring alot, albeit against lower opposition! My top 4 teams so far are Argentina, Spain, Holland, and Ghana after the tremendous win over the Czech`s, still time for England to make the grade. Yes the fans appear to be having one helluva good time over there, so many nationalities and next to no violence (so far), long may it continue!

Yes Ton, very impressed with Dutch coaches throughout the world, If ever i needed to travel on a coach anywhere in the world, i`d certainly go Dutch!..................

Here's how to turn this into something soundtrack related:

Ennio Morricone wrote a theme for The World Cup in 1978 called El Mundial. OK, so it's 28 years old, but it's still good.

...and in the end...

I hate to say it, Ton, but the Dutch team currently plays like the German team has played for decades...scary. Are they stumbling to victory? ;-)

As always Brazil plays with 4th level teams until the semifinals.
How the hell will they loose if they play only 5 minutes per match and they make 3 or 4 goals????

Argentina played against Holland, Mexico, Germany and Ivory Coast, and if goes to the next round will play against Italy and in a probably final against Brazil !!!

Argentina : 7 matchs, 6 huge teams

Brazil : 7 matchs, 2 huge teams

This is not a joke, is what we see every world cup.
