I've never really been a big fan of soccer, but spending some time in London last year did make me appreciate it more and follow it a little... Doesn't mean though that I know anything that I'm talking about here.
Now, if I trace back my family roots and root for which country my family left Europe for to the United States of America, it would be Spain... Pretty sure that there after that display against the Netherlands, I'm feeling sick for Spain. Might be the defending world champions, but if you see a hurt lion ready to attack, you want it dead quickly because you know it's desperate for blood.
Spain is in that spot right now. They are injured and desperate going in Wednesday, desperate for a solid victory to soothe their injured pride. Chile also knows that they are desperate, and that they also need to come out as hard as possible and quickly. Either way it goes, it's going to be wild. I'll still leaning more towards Spain thrashing Chile and the Netherlands match being a fluke, but anything is possible at this point.
And USA vs. Ghana tomorrow will be interesting. Personally, I'd also call it a toss up, but it has been Ghana that sent the US packing back home the past two World cups. We'll just have to wait and see.
