A New Champion

- With Italy and France being knocked out, there will be a new World Champion.

- Observing how Italy and France advanced to the finals the last time around, a scintillating group performance is not necessary to achieve the ultimate goal. Instead, momentum needs to be built and carried through the tournament.

- Today, Uruguay heads into their match against South Korea as a force to be reckoned with. Loaded with gifted strikers, Lugano and the defense has not conceded a goal. South Korea are exciting to watch, but their defense is liable to be split open at any second.

- The United States, fresh off their exciting victory that propelled them to be group winners, face Ghana, the only African team left in the tournament. This is a bit of a revenge match for the United States, as Ghana beat them four years ago. However, that's of no real relevance. These two teams can both win, this one is a coin flip.

- Ah, the World Cup knockout games, don't you just love them?
