As an American who is also 75% German, pretty happy right now.

Anybody watch Iran-Nigeria? Saw part of it, but probably the least anticipated match of the tourney so far.

Belguim comes back. Figured they would at least tie it, didn't think Algeria had enough to hold on.

Buffon back for Italy.

The Italians are going to be a tough out.

I thought Spain were going to bounce back a lot better but what a disappointment, credit to Chile though because they earned it with a big performance against the defending Champions. Croatia vs. Mexico on Monday for second place in Group A is going to be a good game.

At this point it's fucking laughable for Rooney.

Gerrard was horrible for England this tournament. Then screws up and gives Suarez an errant header to lead to the game winning goal.

Italy vs Costa Rica

Match Schedule
Date: 06/21/2014

Well if you are looking for a winner then it should be the Italians. They have the know-how to get through matches like this, and look to have a good balance throughout their side. The problem with the odds on Costa Rica to win against Italy is that the Central Americans are too unpredictable and they really aren’t good enough of a side to pull off back to back upsets. Back the Italians to move towards the knockouts. Italy win Score 1 - 0

You got the score right, but the wrong team.

Costa Rica playing some disciplined football. Italy had some chances early but didn't really threaten over the last 20+ minutes of the game. Costa Rica is the surprise of the tournament so far...

Those last 20+ minutes Italy was grasping at straws... It was entertaining to watch. Uruguay vs. Italy will be a great game to see who else advances out of the group.
