Germany 1
Argentina 1
Germany wins by shoot-out 4-2
Argentina not disciplined enough, and too given to showponying rather than getting the job done?
The injured goalkeeper of Argentina has already messed up everything, including there was no Messi in that game.

England 0
Portugal 0
Portugal wins by shoot-out, 3-1
Portugal hardly won any fans among devotees of fair play and good sportsmanship, but England's woeful penalty shooting did them in. (Hey, don't goalies have to stay on their line?)
Portugal team must say many thanks to Ricardo, and also C. Ronaldo that has been provocating he referee to give red card to Rooney.

Ukraine 0
Italy 3
Italy, so lucky to get through against Australia, have a semifinal berth handed to them on a plate by the hapless Ukraine.
Well, at least both of Italian midfielder ( Pirlo and Gattuso ) has already done it all well when breaking all over Ukraina's defend area.

Brazil 0
France 1
Brazil, the huge disappointment of the whole tournament - too many prima donnas content to prance about in their tutus? France - Zinédine rallies them to a heroic win. But they're not half the team they were in 1998. That makes Brazil's demise all the more woeful. Did anybody tell them it was the World Cup, not some photo shoot for some glossy celeb magazine?
