Day 20 - The first break
How strange it feels not to have football to watch on TV, after 19 days. A kind of routine is established in those early mornings - yes, 7:30 is early morning for me - mornings and evenings with matches in the first round and second round. This is the first break and the second morning comes and you feel that the 2010 world is running out.

How To Hack Wireless Dongler
Of the 56 meetings that took place - to meet the remaining seven champions, more the game for third place - I saw at least 90% and I came across - like everyone, of course - with good, average and bad games. Beautiful goals marked errors, surprises disappointments, bad refereeing and the like, were the spices of the world becomes more media coverage of the story (so far, and that over the years and technology, things will become stronger).
What makes me happiest of all this, is that still in the race four teams in the region and is the illusion of seeing for the first time a South American final, with that dream of Argentina - Brazil. What a shame that FIFA has decided to withdraw a place on the continent for the next world when we had an enviable record of 100% when entering eighth and now 80% in the quarter (not to mention that team left, Chile, was removed from the green amarela). Only to take into account other issues, North and Central America with three teams, spent two to sixteen (66%) and zero the quarter, Africa, was one of six teams to the knockout (17%), which follows the same quarter (Ghana), Asia, four teams - including Australia who was on that continent - took round two (50%) and zero the quarter, Pacific, a team that was eliminated in the group stage and Europe, which 13 teams, it took six to sixteen (46%) and stayed with three quarters (23%). Strange move by FIFA, if we consider the argument that in 2014 Brazil has already hosted assured place, when in 1994 with 12 seats, Europe rose to 14 in 1998 plus the square of the host country was France, with a total of 15 places for that continent. I hope that Europeans are out in this round and the Federation Internationale de Football Association realizes that the South Americans, are and will ALWAYS players!

Day 19 - You are the eight ...
Paraguay and Spain joined the other six teams and were among the top eight World Cup 2010.
The South Americans, became the fourth place in the region - four of five , unpublished - and became the first of the eight teams to have achieved a pass by way of penalties. In a boring low-level party, Paraguay and Japan drew goalless in 120 minutes of play and gave the impression that nobody wanted - and deserved - make the quarter-finals. Paraguay, for the first time in its history, came to be among the eight best in the world and will have a difficult task when facing the English.
The European Red, played against another great from that continent, a Portuguese selected did not show much throughout the whole tournament and save the rout of one of the Koreas, had a modest performance. Spain, has not been a great team so far and although it was more than his rival in power, I do not have the sheet champion, who by this time I selected more in Brazil, Argentina and Germany. In reaching the semifinal, I guess so, because it has a higher level than Paraguay - at least as seen today - but do not think I can beat one of the eleventh above.
are now eight teams and seven games remaining to meet the champion: Brazil vs Holland, Uruguay vs. Ghana, Argentina and Spain vs Germany Paraguay vs cede to the four semifinalists. On Friday, the ball rolling again ...
