Last 16! Stuff History, Socceroos!
After a long hard week of entertaining matches, finally the contenders of the last 16 have been finalized. No Asian power here as both Japan and Korea were knocked out from the group stages. But kudos to the Socceroos, they managed to go through and Stuff History. Yeah, I love those Stuff History ads, they put a new one yesterday when Socceroos go through, “History Stuffed”, finally the old sucker dies, ha! There were some surprises here and there as Czech Republic and Croatia failed to go through while Ghana and Socceroos make it to the next round, and now I am rooting for those two.
So, here’s the match roster for the last 16 round, starting tonight:
- Germany v Sweden
- Argentina v Mexico
- England v Ecuador
- Portugal v Netherlands (big match!)
- Italy v Australia
- Switzerland v Ukraine
- Brazil v Ghana
- Spain v France
If you are looking for betting tips, by all means DO NOT follow what I predict there, especially on Australia and Ghana. I tend to follow my heart rather than my mind and now that I loved those two teams so much (who can not love a team called Socceroos? And those teams are the only representatives of Asia/Oceania - well not really but sort of, and Africa). Socceroos might have a chance, a slight chance, and they should put back Schwarzer, Kalac was so damn horrible. As for Ghana, at first I thought they can win, but after looking at Brazil who just returned to form and trash Japan 4-1, well…
As for my main team, England, now Sven is gonna regret it. He only brought four strikers. Two just recovered from long injuries. One is only tall but is a moronic idiot without any skills. And other one is an untested uncapped striker. Now that Michael Owen is injured, he got limited options. Oh well, bye bye England, should you manage to beat Ecuador, you’ll face Portugal or Netherlands, which will send you back home…
