@Albert,
You can't bet on a Chilean lose,can you?....

@marex. whats the mode of payment. seems like u may have to sort alot of people.

Brazil 2 Chile 0.Half time

5 Thao lost! You do not bet against teams like Brazil.

T'was a tough match for Chileans, they missed honorably though.

GHANA: means God Help Africa Now Amen

@Impunity, if Ghana beat Uruguay they"ll meet either Holland or Brasil, not Germany or Argentina as someone has correctly pointed out. I hope they keep their heads and put away any chance they get because if they don't, Uruguay will beat them, I kid you not!

I never doubted Brasil would beat Chile though I have to admit I thought it would be close...maybe 2-1. There's nothing more potent than a Brazil with a solid defense coz any one can score, all the way from Lucio to Fabiano, Hollands first real test in my opinion, perhaps Brazil's as well.

I'll disagree with Njungé on the Argentina Deutsch quarterfinal match, I think Argentina's defense has not been tested. The Germans got a wake up call after losing to Serbia, Argentina have had no wake up call yet! I agree it's probably the final before the final, I hope Messi prevails because I don't think Maradona is a great tactical coach, I just think he has talented players.

For today, I think Spain will pip the Portuguese to it, neither team has been convincing but player for player, Spain has the edge. I couldn't care less about the Paraguay game, I wish they were playing against Cameroon. What a shame they're not!

spain vrs portugal. who do you think will triumph? my money is on spain. I suspect it will be a dull ultra defensive game. maybe penalties

Pondi...Spain do not have the players to play defensive football especially with Xabi Alonso struggling with an injury. They really miss Marcos Senna in that Midfield....Torres also should be dropped from the starting line up, i think at this world cup he would be more useful as an Impact player!

In an error of Samson-esque proportions, Rooney clearly got a bit bored at England's Rustenburg training camp and decided to chop off his chest wig - and was seen sporting his newly-shaven look after the defeat to Germany.
So could this be the reason for the Manchester United striker's woeful performances in South Africa?
Aside from a goal against local side Platinum Stars in the final warm-up game, Rooney failed to find the net when it mattered.
He showed only glimpses of the talent that had been on show for the whole season preceding the World Cup, and during a goal-filled qualifying campaign.
The picture above shows a before and after shot of a bare-chested Rooney - on the left after England's 3-1 friendly win over Mexico last month, and on the right looking miserable after turning in another rubbish game against the Germans.
Not only does he seem to have become paler than a polar bear in a bucket since those heady days at Wembley in May, but he's also a lot less hairy and a lot less talented by the looks of things.
Coincidence? You decide.

From "Metro" How does one attach a photo on their post? It's quite hilarious though I feel for Rooney not being able to replicate the form he had for Man Utd.
