World at their feet.

It's do or die time now for the four remaining teams in this competition. I'm excited about what's going to happen over the last four games.
Here is how I see it going down.

• Uruguay:
  

This side qualified last for the competition finishing fifth in their south American qualifying group and having to go to a playoff. Getting to the last 4 is an awesome achievement for these guys. I won't bring up the handball saga but let's just say we can all understand the decision. Either way it paid off. They are the underdogs and will have most of the world behind them which is always an advantage.They got nothing to lose so will be going out without as much pressure as Holland. One other thing that Ro said about Uruguay was he guaranteed this would be their last game. Ronan thinks they are planning on boycotting the 3rd and 4th Place play off. I certainly hope not :).

• Germany:

The old saying never write off the Germans has never been more truer. This side has helped light up this competition with goals and plenty of excitement. They came into this tournament without their star player and captain Michael Ballack. This was perhaps a good thing as it resulted in the Germans being underrated by the other teams. They will have a tough game against Spain though and will need to continue with their high pace and army like performance. Klose is looking to achieve the top goalscorer of all time so will be fired up for their game. At the moment it is their cup to lose.

• Holland:
  

I see this team reaching the final and then who knows. I have had my eye on this team like Ro. they just have a lot of quality. I hope my early prediction of Wesley become player of tournament comes through. With 4 goals he is looking good. He was instrumental in gaining the win against Brazil. It is good to see Europe kick the worlds butt. Van Persie needs to pull up his socks.

• Spain:
  

As Ro put it the Spanish team without a doubt has the best man to man team but we all know that it's not individuals who win competitions but teams. The Spanish team is winning games but just not as easily as the German team. This is either a sign of a good team or else just a team not good enough to be champions. David Villa is on fire with 5 though and if he can continue it will go along way to defeating the Germans. Torros needs to show up in this game as upto this point
the team has been carrying him. I hope these teams can provide us with a classic game.


In conclusion I see a Holland and Germany/Spain Final lol. Jokes my heart says Spain so I'm going to stick with my heart.

Come on the final 4. Let's hope the real winners of these games will be football.

Always watching
