- Ghana goes through to round 2 - controversial (por supuesto) penalty against USA
- Czechoslovakia (the 2nd ranked team in the world) is out after losing to Italy
- Australia (Socceroos) pulled through in the last minutes to tie against Croatia to go through to the next round. The Socceroos face the Italians next
- Switzerland is doing remarkably well, por eso, France's fate is sketchy - but we shall know for sure tomorrow - zz zz zz
Brasil, England, Argentina, Germany - and the other teams that are already through from each group - are predictably so, porque they are the stronger teams. Voy a compare my initial predictions with the final tally tomorrow.
As for the broken ingles - tengo que practicar espanol porque tengo un examen manana. A mi me gusta escribir en espanol pero ne se que I say.
In case you are not familiar with football yet and are trying to keep score of the mighty Brasilian squad:
Nazario de Lima is actually Ronaldo
Ronaldinho's real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (Ronaldo Gaucho) - to differentiate him from Ronaldo. "Dinho" implicative of "little Ronaldo"
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite is actually Kaka
y it does not do to not mention that Pele's real nombre is Edson Arantes do Nascimento :-)
y si, yo se que los brasilenos hablan portugues. Obrigado

Thanks for the update - you start to get me infected by fever, fever about round balls.
Zee! This afternoon another Switzerland game - vs South Korea! Report to follow! :-) If they go through to the next round, then it's on you to pull them through to the finals - ok?
I know you are smiling :-):-)
Zee ya - rushing off to ace my examen ;-)
next argentina will need to beat mexico, in order to advance, where they would likely have to face germany. we should also see england vs portugal in the semis, and italy vs brasil. those should be some intense matches.
good luck on your test! (buena suerte)
...hope you do well en el exámen de Español...
Fer, Nazli only gets A's :-)
Nazli - Brasil was "fearless" yesterday!!!
Good luck on your test!!
i watched Spain today, they looked really good.
Joe - Spain is tenacious and so much fun to watch. Nowadays I even can give them some advice en espanol. "Tienen que correr rapido"
Too bad USA is out - but round 2 promises to be particularly exciting!
Espana goes against Francia next - see you at the game JT!
Tom - gracias muchas! I agree with your thinking - Italy vs. Brasil will probably happen and promises to be dynamite. It seems as though Argentina and England will also be meeting soon - is that correct? That will be a match to watch.
But before that Brasil and Ghana will be good to watch - because Ghana has nothing to lose and maybe will not be as frightened of Brasil as the other teams usually are.
Fer y Cris - gracias mis amigos! El exámen de Español was actually rather challening. Questions, verbs (present tense), possession etc. however I knew everything - except the article gender for lapiz - I put las lapices - itstead of los lapices.
I have such a funny story - you will laugh at me - but I will blog about it because I need to place it in context.
Thank you so much for the good vibes and the good luck! Como estan uds? Muy bien, yo espero? Que hacen le fin de semana uds?
Voy ir a la fiesta el domingo pero el sabado tengo que excribir monografia por un conférence :-)
Next Friday - I shall blog en español :-) So excited!
Hasta pronto
Abrazos!
