Congrats, Belgium!
Wish our guys would have played for the regulation 90 like they did in extra time. My biggest disappointment is that Tim Howard busted his ass (and the laws of physics) and played the game of his life and the older/veteran players let him down. The kids, on the other hand look very promising. DeAndre Yedlin, Omar Gonzalez, Julian Green - all fantastic. Dempsey and Wondo kept tripping over the ball and Michael Bradley failed to show up at all (except when he was passing the ball to the wrong team, then he was right on target).
Having watched the teams play a few, I think:
Germany over France and Columbia over Brazil. Argentina over Belgium (sorry, guys) and because Holland are right up their own asses and will likely go into the game with no respect for their opponents - Costa Rica over Netherlands.
Chances are I'll be entirely wrong so don't put any money on any of the above BS.
