netherlands-spain is my absolute favorite so far. "epochal" is the first word that comes to mind. there's a before and there's an after that game in the history of football. i screamed and howled and couldn't believe my eyes. van persie flying. robben running around like a rooster. the invincible armada crushed. magic!
england-italy. two distinct schools in battle, and the contest was even. italy was beautiful and england had danger, and it was just terribly entertaining.
germany-portugal. damn! germany opened up with big cannons. not sure where they are going after today but that was a big entrance.
england-uruguay. uruguay came back from the dead. and suárez was orpheus. unfortunately england wasn't as fun as it had been vs. italy.
germany-ghana. because germany didn't fuck up so much as ghana leveled up, which was the opposite of argentina earlier that day. well deserved result. and klose's somersault and his tie for top scorer. more history here. there are no more small teams. ghana the best african team i've seen this world cup. what will they do next?
chile-spain. we knew by then that spain could be beat, but chile did it with so much exuberance. the ugly part was spain's complete demoralization and san iker chewing his mouth like a very old man without teeth. i felt sad for them and del bosque like a defeated abuelito. sad!
colombia-ivory coast. lively!
brazil-mexico. loved that mexico took it to the brazilians. balls!
us-ghana. i liked that we won but it was ugly and it was a nail biter.
france swtzerland. the goals! but i didn't enjoy the part of switzerland getting massacred.
i did not enjoy seeing italy or uruguay fail before costa rica. but then i realized it wasn't a fluke and learned to enjoy it (for next time). same thing probably with netherlands-australia, while the netherlands won it was by a disappointing margin.
i haven't really enjoyed seeing brazil or argentina-- big disappointments so far. yes i liked brazil-mexico as an even contest but not as a candidate for world champion battling another team. get your shit together, fuckers! i didn't enjoy chile-australia for similar reasons but chile got it together now.
