French fried. Italy baked and English packed.

Germany and Argentina sizzled in their matches. Thouroughly enjoyed the Germany- England match. Ther have been a few sparkling games the past few days. the World cup is turning on the heat on the teams. It's the knock-out stage. It's a pity thaat Germany and Argentina will facing off in the Quarter-finals. They both deserve a Semi-final berth. Along with Brazil and Uruguay (who I say are the 'dark horses'). There is no room for error now. Nothing is predictable. And its fun. Glad that the games are not going to penalty shootout. Germany was super. Fast, precise and highly co-ordinated. Argentina is inspired. Brazil is Brazil. And there are the super power ruins. France repeating 2002, being kicked out in round 1 without a win. Italy repeating a France by going out in the first round as defending champions. As for England, They are like the Indian cricket team. All money and glamour and loads of hopes every world Cup. EPL there, IPL here. Wayne Rooney looked retired and as flabby as Yuvraj Singh. But the goal from lampaard was legal. Video technolgy - please learn from ICC, FIFA. I am excited as the momentum is building for the finale. Expecting great matched as somehow there is a tide in favour for free-flowing football. May be inspired by beats of Africa. Waka Waka.
