No Asian team has ever beat a South American team and Japan was ready on the field to be the first. It was Japan's Blue Samurais against Paraguay. The score was 0-0 and after 90min the game went into 30 min of overtime. After 15 minutes there was no goal. After another 15min, still no frigging goal. Both coaches were frustrated and ready to burst!
After 120 minues Japan had 4 yellow cards and Paraguay was issued 1 and the score was tied at 0-0.
For the first time at the World Cup 2010 the winner was determined on a penalty shoot out. Each team received 5 shots.
Paraguay won the coin toss and scored a goal. Next, Japan.
The score 1-1.
..........Japan missed a shot giving a clear advantage to the South Americans who scored.
Paraguay: 4 Japan: 3
At this moment Japan's players began to pray on the field when it was Parguay's turn.
In the end Paraguay won crushing the Blue Samurais dream and for the first time Paraguay has made it to the quarter finals.
Final Score: 5-3 on penalties.

......And the samba beat goes on and on!!
The Samba Kings played an awesome game against Team Chile. In the 34th minute the first goal by Brazil was scored, 4 minutes later, the second. The 3rd came in the second half.
Brazil plays next against The Netherlands in the quarter finals.
Hmm, will Team Brazil samba their way into the finals? We shall see.

Day 17:
Two of World Cups biggest rivals battled it out today.
VS.
According to several reports the prediction: England: 2 Germany: 2
England wins on penalties.
The Reality:
All I can say, this match was far more exciting and controversial than Brazil playing Portugal. It has been called "England's worst ever World Cup defeat." Before the first half was over Germany had scored 2 goals! The second half: 2 more goals in twelve minutes! As one commentator stated: "Germany drove a stake through the heart into England and got their sweet revenge after 44 years."
My thoughts on Team England's loss? Hmm, perhaps if God wasn't so busy saving the Queen he could have helped the boys across the pond score a few goals.
1} England has been sent home.
2} Germany advances to the quarter finals and will be playing against Team Argentina who won today's match against Mexico. Adiós México.
3 }The Team England flag is no longer waving from my sister's car.
AND BEST OF ALL:
4} Sister has stopped humming "Rule, Britannia!"
And thank God because it was driving me frigging crazy.
