Spain flattered to decieve again for the nth time in a FIFA world cup. They always start with a bang and choke at crucial times. I often compare them with South African cricket team that often chokes at crucial moments on big stage.
Probably this is what differentiates great teams from good teams. Big stage brings out the best in great teams.
I was hoping that Spain beat France simply because France has a psychological advantage over Brazil in world cups. Brazil being my favourite team, i want its journey smooth.
Having said that, it won't be easy for France this time, unless Brazil messes up big time. France have been lucky to reach this far. They, with Italy, are the two most undeserving teams in Quarters. But am sure they won't ride their luck very far. Hope Brazil can show them their place.
A great finale would be Brazil-Argentina and an even more great result will be Brazil beating Argentina in final. This is a mouth watering scenario. But if Brazil exits then i would hope for England reaching the finals with Germany. That again will be a classic. Such combination make a great difference. Whatever may be the situation i a hope it is not the repeat of last WC finals , i.e Germany - Brazil. I hope for a unique combination this time around.
