Yea I love this German team. I thought they were going to win the 12 euro. They're definitely the most cohesive team in the tournament. I have a slightly different perspective though. I think if Portugal plays this badly against the US we could sneak out a win. I think that's just wishful thinking though.
So far the top teams in the tournament have been Italy, Holland, Brazil, and Germany.
I'm not quite ready to count Spain out. If they make it to the round of 16 anything is possible. Del Bosque made a horrible decision by taking off a DM and switching to the more attacking 3 3 4. I think they're too pro to not be able to put it all back together and make a run.
Eh, Brazil looked ok. That game deserved a tie. I didn't catch the Italy game, but I'm not sold on the Dutch yet. Germany is already in top form, which should scare the s**t out of everybody.
