Good points Oggie and I for one am backing Ecuador to beat Germany! That sounds ridiculous but I have a gut feeling!

It was the way Argentina beat S and M,an S and M who had the best defensive record coming into the tournament. Also,the win over Ivory Coast was very impressive,because in my opinion,if the Ivory Coast were to be in any other group,I am certain they would go through and that includes England's group. They have been unlucky not to get 2 draws against 2 world class teams.
