I'd been getting v,v,v moderately (moderate++, or would moderate- be a better way to describe it?) friendly with a Uruguayan waitress who works in a bar near a place I work. We made a bet on the England v Uruguay game, beer only, :whycry:, but I made the mistake of joking about Suarez's knee injury. She's either incredibly into football and ultra competitive, or the mere thought of having to buy me a beer truly pissed her off. Instant strop ensued. If only my Spanish was good enough to make some horse-placenta jokes.
I digress.
From Europe I still think Spain will go furthest. Netherlands aren't up to it. Italy are now the wrong side of experienced. Germany will probably make the semi finals, and despite the qualifying hype, I don't think Belgium are going to set the tournament alight. England to get out of the group but crash & burn next round. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an all South American final.
