The World Cup is back in action as the Netherlands defeated Brazil today in the quarterfinals. Brazil led 1-0 at the half but the Netherlands came out strong and took the 2-1 lead in the 68th minute. Here in the Corner I am happy because I don't like dominate teams such as Brazil in any sport and I really wanted Brazil to lose after their comeback win against the US in the Confederations Cup a year ago.
So who is the Corner for in the remaining games of the World Cup, or at least one of the brothers? Well since Woerner used to be Worner, pronounced Vorner (kinda of) and German is my original heritage I am pulling for Germany. I really like Lukas Podolski (right) for the Germans. Another team I am pulling for in the quarter finals is Ghana. I like them for two reason, one they beat the USA and two they are the final African team left and it makes for a loud and exciting game to watch with the Cup being held in South Africa. For the final game of the quarterfinals I am for Paraguay.
Tom - Lets go Deuschland. (Germany For those that don't know that)
I admit I don't know a whole lot about soccer so I will stick with the sentimental favorite. Gotta go with the family name.
