- The U.S. Run: They actually won the group stage and the game against Algeria was pure storybook.
- Switzerland over Spain: No one in a million years expected this. Im pretty sure Spain forgot about this already.
- French Team: What a joke, they make the Minnesota T'Wolves look like a true team.
Best Player: Forlan, Uruguay- 5 goals and made an average team reach the semis.
Biggest Surprise: No African team went deep into the tournament except Ghana.
Biggest Disappointment: the 2006 finalist teams( Italy/France) failed to make it to the knockout stage.
Best Game: Ghana vs Uruguay-EPIC
Most annoying- vuvuzelas
Best Celebration dance- South African team after scoring first goal of the tournament.
I think you could have switched the Biggest dissapointment and surprise. I thought that the Netherlands run was also "storybook", they were playing amazing up until the final game. That was a heartbreaker.
ReplyDeleteI think you could have switched the biggest disappointment with the biggest surprise. I also think that the Netherlands should have gotten more credit. They were great all tournament until the final game, which they were definitely outplayed. That was a heartbreaker.
ReplyDeletenetherlands was ranked 4 in the world. How is that a surprise?
ReplyDeleteyour'e right about the netherlands surprise. It wasn't. That first entry shouldn't be there. ALthough, the second one makes more sense. And rankings do matter cuz Spain, the number 2 team, won it all. They were somewhat the favorites and the favorites won.
