Argentina should still be champions!

The Q-finals have thrown up some really intriguing permutations.

There was of cos the heart wrenching Argentina lost in the penalty shoot-out with Germany.
There was the disappointing upset of England.
There was also of course the expected knock-out of once briliant Brazil.

Argentina and England were the biggest heart-ache for me. Well regular readers will know that I have supported both since the beginning of this World Cup. Fervently for Argentina and as a closet for England.

Nothing much to say but that the best team lost cos of a lousy tactical move and an almost good team lost due to the fact that they didn't need a coach.

Brazil. Well they deserved it actually. I know its a harsh word but I was never once impressed by them at all in the group stages. They were run ragged by Ghana remember.
Tactically naive, technique superb. But I think ppl have forgotten that football is now all about tactics rather than skills. Skills don't win matches anymore.
What made it worse was that Ronaldinho wasn't allowed to show casehis skills nor was the media favourable of Ronaldo. So too bad for them. Good riddance, enough of bluffing your way through this time. Next time maybe.

So sofa coaches and punters out there... who to go to the finals now?
