is ronaldo the same #9 from years ago or is he a younger player, evryone in our neighborhood has that #9 jersey , also brazil is -168 on pinny to make semifinal, i thought it was a given that they made it far but that seems low. disclaimer: i know nothing about soccer but have enjoyed watching it, and we live in latino section of boston and always a lot of soccer games going on our street that i also watch.

Brazil will have to play Italy or the Czech next round, it's going to be a really hard game (specially since they're garanteed to get owned on the wings and in transition).

absolutely. also, I'd like to see Argentina-Holland have something big at stake in their match so they both go all out.

I don't think Croatia is going to come out playing balls-out in this one. It would be in their best interest to play conservative, hope to pull out a draw, and not [censored] up their goal differential too badly. Their remaining games are against Japan and Australia. They can get their points there.

yeah, they should also get 2 wins there.

I at least like their attitude.

I actually doubt anyone will play for a tie against Brazil, simply because if you can stop Brazil from scoring (and this is the insanely difficult part) you have a very decent chance of winning the game.

As much as I hate to say this I would bet a lot of money on Brazil.
