Finally, it has been narrowed down to the Final 16 but what fantastic football so far. There will be no matches today so everyone can have a fully productive day and get ready for the weekend!
Tomorrow it will be BRAZIL vs. CHILE at 11am and COLUMBIA vs. URUGUAY at 3:00pm.
SUNDAY it will be NETHERLANDS vs. MEXICO at 11:00am and COSTA RICA vs. GREECE at 3:00pm.
Have a great weekend and ENJOY!
Will the USA upset Germany and put Germany over to the right side of the draw to possibly meet Argentina down the line and challenge them before the semis?
Portugal only has a chance if Germany beats the USA.
Will the white face man work some magic for Ghana?
Let’s see!
So the Euro plane had to wait on the runway for Italy yesterday. Uruguay advanced over them with a shoulder-biting victory!
Ivory Coast had a heart breaking loss to Greece yesterday with Greece advancing into the Knock out round after capitalizing on a penalty that should not have been given for them to win 2-1.
Who will advance with France from Group E? Will it be Ecuador or Switzerland? Did the Swiss fill the holes in their defense?
Also, who will advance with Argentina from Group F today? Nigeria or Iran? Nigeria has more points but they will face Argentina, though this World Cup has definitely proven that the ball is round.
Looking down the line, possible BIG match ups (Not predictions):
FRANCE VS. GERMANY in the Quarterfinals ?
NETHERLANDS VS. ARGENTINA in the Semi-finals ?
BRAZIL VS. FRANCE in the Semi-finals ?
Who will be in the FINALS ?!!!
Could it be URUGUAY vs. NETHERLANDS?, BRAZIL vs. ARGENTINA ?, FRANCE vs. NETHERLANDS? Plus so many more combinations. I think we are still in for more surprises, so lets watch and enjoy the Best Show on Earth!
The Layer Cake went World Cup crazy with an Italian menu last Friday. It’s a pity the Italian fans could not celebrate a victory and the deliciousness!!!
The Italian Stuffed Chicken Meal-
Tender and succulent breast of chicken stuffed with roasted garlic, fresh basil, olive oil roasted tomatoes and a classic 3 cheese combination of fresh mozzarella, aged parmesan and mild cheddar. Drizzled with a spicy marinara sauce. Served with an orzo garden salad and a herb rice pilaf.
This tasted just like how it sounded, ABSOLUTELY Spectacular.
Cost: $1200JMD and they deliver!
After popular demands I cannot wait to see what is in store for this week and next week, will it be French or Brazilian?!
For more info contact Observer Food Awards Nominee Trevanne Donegal at [email protected]. Also I have much more to say about her ‘fantabulous’ creations so stay tuned 🙂
The Sports Zone at the CBA has free entry, food by Jacqui Tyson on sale and drinks on sale. I’ve heard it also has its own feed and not the poor quality feed from CVM. VIP seating and parking available. No wonder you have to get there early before the crowd.
Word has it that a company has bought out the main viewing area of Triple Century for World Cup so it’s continuously filled with their employees. Not a good look.
Tracks and Records and Cuddyz are definite NOs to view the World Cup or to even go and eat or drink for that matter. Extremely poor service and food quality. The screens can hardly even be viewed properly at Tracks. What a shame.
This week we say GOODBYE to SPAIN, CAMAROON, AUSTRALIA, ENGLAND, HONDURAS and BOSNIA !
CONGRATS to NETHERLANDS, CHILE, COLUMBIA, COSTA RICA, FRANCE and ARGENTINA, all quickly moving on to the Knock out rounds.
Those that MUST WIN to move on to the next round are:
Italy, Uruguay, Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Switzerland, Nigeria
MUST win so they don’t go home today – PORTUGAL
GROUP A:
Camaroon should be going home. Brazil may top the group as they meet Camaroon next. Mexico and Croatia to vie for 2 nd place.
GROUP B:
Spain has gone home. So has Australia. Netherlands and Chile will face each other with 2nd place likely to face Brazil. Note that Van Persie will be sitting the next game out for the Netherlands due to 2 yellow cards.
GROUP C:
Greece and Japan should be going home with Columbia topping the group and Ivory Coast in second place. Though we still should keep an eye on Japan.
GROUP D:
England should be going home with Uruguay likely to follow. Uruguay still has a little hope but its all in Italy’s hands who should top the group with Costa Rica in 2nd. So Columbia will face either Costa Rica or Uruguay.
GROUPS E, F, G and H:
Matches to play out by Sunday, however top of the groups should be France, Argentina, Germany and Belgium respectively.
HAPPY VIEWING !!!
What a day!
Columbia has advanced to the knockout stage with their victory over the Ivory Coast and the Japan vs. Greece draw in Group C. The World Cup futures of Japan and Greece depend on their must win final match to have a chance of surpassing Ivory Coast into second place. Both teams only have one point after a scoreless draw today.
Wayne Rooney ties for 4th in England goal standings after he scored his first goal in the World Cup finals against Uruguay. He has tied with Michael Owen on 40 goals. But it was not enough. Luis Suarez played one of his best games ever and scored 2 goals for Uruguay, still giving them a glimmer of hope. Group D is one to watch to see how this all plays out.
