Cup Crazy - 24 June
Saturday, June 24, 2006
Day 16 saw the beginning of the knockout rounds. Would we see any surprises? Brian will let us know!
Today's Action
So, due to some technical difficulties, we lost our lengthy "Cup Crazy" update today. Quite a shame, because we had some good stuff. You'll have to take my word on that one. But we were treated to an extremely exciting Argentina-Mexico match that many didn't think we'd get. We saw the goal of the tournament from Maxi Rodriguez. And we saw the Germans soundly defeat the Swedes to set up an epic quarterfinal in Berlin. Our sometimes-contributor Bryce Campbell will be in Berlin to soak up the action.
Swedish Fan of the Day
It would be quite a shame if we didn't pick our Swedish Fan of the Day for the final time. With Sweden's elimination today, our final recipient is Helga from Lund. There are a lot of disappointed Swedes out there today, but Helga is there to lend a bosom to cry on. We appreciate her compassionate spirit. Welcome, Helga!
Don't Screw This One Up, Sven
We can't help but be disturbed about lineup changes that our sources are telling us about heading into tomorrow's England-Ecuador game. It's rumored that Sven will switch to a 4-5-1, with Carrick in as a holding midfielder and Rooney alone up front. This is nothing short of absurd. England is a 4-4-2 team. Sven is clearly too afraid to drop any of his midfield quartet, so he's bringing in a holding midfielder at the expense of a striker. Using Rooney as a lone striker is a complete waste. Rooney is at his best as a half-striker where he can come back to midfield to get the ball early. He's not the Crouch type who waits up front for long balls all game long. This move has disaster written all over it. I hope I'm wrong, but we shall see
Tomorrow's Predictions
I was two-for-two today, but mixed up the scorelines. I probably won't get it right, but why not give it a go?
England 2, Ecuador 0
Portugal 1, Holland 1 (Portugal wins on penalties 5-4)
Goodnight now.
