Anyone who says that the World Cup is above politics is crazy, BUT I can't help but like North Korea. The showed some serious heart against the best in the world today. IMO, the most exciting game of the tourney so far. My number two vote goes to Germany vs Australia.

I felt like Germany was the first team in the cup that actually went out there to win the game, rather than just trying not to lose. They murdered the first two, smelt blood in the water, and went for the throat. The Brazilians may be beautiful, but Germany's cold efficiency is deadly.

Was disappointed by the Netherlands showing against Denmark. The score looked better than the Dutch played.
