Final 16 decided...


Knock-Out Round starts Saturday!

With the Group Stage over, it now comes to the single elimination rounds.
No more points, no more ties, no more... Italy!

The groups stages saw the elimination of Favoured teams such as, dysfunctional France, 2006 World Cup Champions Italy, 2004 Euro Champions Greece, Host South Africa, and diving Ivory Coast.
The end of the round brought some interesting...and some not-so-interesting matches.

South Africa, nice win over France, shame it wasn't enough.
USA and England... thank you for not going for another draw (there's no draws in knock-out round, glad they got it out of their system)
Some pretty defensive plays by Germany (hope they can keep it up)
Japan shows why it was the first team to Qualify
Slovakia gets a big thank you for knocking out Italy
Portugal and Brazil... World Cup final quality match-up, yet both played for the tie (some suspect on purpose)
Spain, good climb back to the top.

A record 4% (roughly) of Americans tuned in to watch Team USA advance... you should too!
