Thanks for the scenarios and historical references LOL, too bad France showed up with their Marie Antionette "Let them eat Cake Defence" instead of Joan of Arc. I'm really afraid for the Mexican's right now - they are two kicks away from going out of the tournament. Who knows maybe the Springboks and Kiwi's will live the dream finale.
ps Don't disrespect Ashraf's Desert Foxes - they might make the US be "Los Tostados Unidos"

Not sure about France though, they havent scored a single goal yet , have a pathetic offence. Defence literally gets worse with the games they play.
This tournament kind of portrays the state of the world these days. Developped Europe struggling with the tides of time while emerging markets are slowly becoming more robust
1. Switzerland defeats Honduras (likely) / Chile & Spain draw (possible).
Chile & Switzerland advance. Spain goes home to face the Inquisition.
2. Serbia defeats Australia (possible) / Germany & Ghana draw (a stretch!).
Serbia & Ghana advance. Germany goes home to face the firing squad.
3. Paraguay & N.Zealand draw (N. Zealand play way over their heads) / Italy & Slovenia draw (?).
As long as the score in both games is the same, 0-0 or 1-1. All tie breakers between Italy &
N. Zealand are the same, so it goes to a coin toss. Italy forgets to bring the 2 headed coin and loses the toss.
Paraguay and N. Zealand advance. Italy goes home to face the garotte.
4. The U.S defeats Algeria (possible) / England & Slovenia draw (ha).
U.S & Slovenia advance. England goes home to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
5. Uruguay defeats Mexico (?) / France defeats S. Africa 3-0 (Led by Joan of Arc).
France and Uruguay advance. Mexico goes home and are never seen again.
6. France finds it's stride and make the final, however due to internal bickering they refuse to play the final match. They forfeit the final game and go home to be guillotined.
7. Handing the World Cup to ...
New Zealand.
"I was asked the other day how the Spanish should respond to their crisis. "Easy," I said, "so long as they beat Honduras and Chile, they'll be fine." The World Cup is a tricky old thing."

second goal just killed N.Koreans, and the flood gates opened. Three goals in 7 minutes. WOW. Suddenly everybody in Portuguese team wanted to be on the score sheet. For a while I thought that goalie, Eduardo, is going to join the attack.He was not busy anyway.
In a previous comment I was judging both teams according to their previous performance, but I was wrong.
What a goal-a-thon from Ronaldo and the colleagues.
b.
after that I believe we could enjoy Chile win over Switzerland and Spain annihilation of Honduras.
btw. Do you guys think that referee would call for a handball if it was a different player with a different jersey in Brazil-Cote D'ivoire ?
b.
Also goes to show that it VERILY the TEAM that makes a PLAYER great! Grogba is a prime example...

Looks like very funny to me... France is just showing to the world its real state of mind...
I'm waiting for the downgrade of the France's triple A.
Shouldn't take long though.
