Fantastic!
The Iraq team's win dripped with symbolism, not least in the makeup of its front-line strikers: one Kurd, one Shiite, one Sunni.

What a shameful way to end a brilliant career. Domenech was right to make him sit in the locker for the medal ceremony.

ITA: 1 - FRA: 1 (5:3 PK)
Italy wins it in Penalty Kicks. The last time they were in the Final, 1994, they lost it on PK to Brasil.
Almost Ironic.

BRA: 3 - GHA: 0
If Ghana's forwards had been a little more accurate, they might have one -- score not withstanding. If my networks were as porous as Brasil's defense, I'd be laying bricks right now.

It took 107 minutes to finish this game, I wish it had been on ABC, but they thought shoiwing the third round of some golf tournament that nobody ever heard of would be better, and Univision wasn't coming in.
No, I don't have cable.
Argentina advances to the Quarterfinal.

Round 2 begins with a brilliant game by the Germans. Their passing game is methodical and precise; It was like they were teaching a clinic on the pitch.
