I'm still hoping that Brazil will win the next game even without Neymar and Silva.  But in reality, their chances are slim without the two star players.

Germany's defense was spotty too as witnessed by several easy opportunities by Benzema even up to the last play.  Only the superb goal keeping prevented the French from equalizing.

Miroslav Klose gets another chance to bag the WC goals scored record for himself.

mahihirapan ang Brazil ko against sa Germany... and magkakaroon ng magandang laban ang Argentina sino man manalo sa Ned vs CR... :):)

sana magharap ang Brazil at Argentina... though gusto ko mapanood laro ng Germany laban sa Argentina.

Robben is so fast that when he flops, he creates such a spectacle - great bait for a free kick. But who can fault him, he works hard for every one of those runs.  He energizes the Dutch offense with his dynamic plays - fantastic player.

Extra time now at. 0-0 after an all out assault on the Costa Rican goal in the closing minutes.

And Netherlands scrape through.  Good move to sub a fresh goalie just before the shootout.

Kudos to Balls channel & ABS CBN (?) For showing ALL the WC Games, especially in this basketball crazy country of ours (nothing wrong with that haha)!
Cheers and Olé Olé Olé!

Argentina just lost winger di Maria.  Huge loss. It seriously changes their game plan.

the Costa Rican gkeeper Navas is quite good, next only to Tim Howard of the US!

Indeed. Not sure how Sabella will respond tactically, but I'm guessing Alvarez might get more minutes as a roaming midfielder. At least that's how I'd do it if I wanted a 4-3-3 formation. 8)

I have a feeling though that Sabella will stay with a 5-3-2 in the first half, which would rule out Alvarez, I think.

A lot of goal keepers stood out in this WC.  The Mexican one - Ochoa, the Nigerian one - Enyeama, Navas and of course Howard and Neuer. This WC also proved to be disappointing for a couple of ATG goal keepers - Iker Casillas of Spain and Gianluigi Buffon of Italy.

This edition of the world cup has been a showcase of Goalkeepers.  The numerous penalty shoot outs and clean sheets have given them an avenue to shine, more so than the more famous strikers.  Aside from James Rodriguez' one touch volley and Van Persie's superman header, I have a hard time naming a "beautiful" goal.  (Honorable mention would be David Villa's backheel goal)

Who is your player of the tournament so far?

For me, it has to be Arjen Robben with Messi second.  Robben just keeps on pushing forward, relentless and electric, creating opportunities all the time.  Messi so far is more restrained, attacking and assisting in equal measures.

So far i would have to agree with you that Robben is having an excellent world cup.  But i'm a little iffy with the great Messi, he plays so much better when he's with Barca.  I actually have Angel Di Maria a close second to Robben.  Di Maria has been running 10+k in every match until his injury.  His work rate is underrated.  Columbia's James Rodriguez would be my 3rd choice, his game has been on since the beginning of the world cup.  Too bad he was a non factor in their loss to brazil with exception to his penalty goal.
