June 26 Playoff Games

From Javier....


We have had a lot of drama in this World Cup to date. Now the real drama begins. Pure head to head battles, with extra-times and the drama of the penalty shoot-out. The teams that keep a cool head will progress.




Team USA takes on Africa's only remaining hope. Referee might be sympathetic to Ghana to keep an African team alive. The Americans will do well to ignore referee decisions and focus on the objective as they have been doing until now. If USA progresses will be key for "Soccer's" future in America as per previous blog entry.











The Uruguayans are one of the pleasant surprises of the first round and Diego Forlan is one of the players of the tournament. But they will find the South Korean nut tough to crack. Will require patience, skill and luck. Careful with the Korean's counters and plays from set pieces.
