Still Alive

My pre-World Cup selection, France, beat Spain 3-1 to move into the quarterfinals. Spain took an early lead, on a penalty kick but France tied it right up. Most of the game was tied 1-1, until in the 83rd minute France scored on a header set up by a corner kick by my boy Zinedane Zidane. Zidane put a capper on the evening with a brilliant goal in gar-bahge (as they say France) time, the 92nd minute.
In the quarters Les Bleus will face Brazil who advanced with a win over Ghana. Ronaldo scored a sick goal and brilliant passing by Kaka and Kafu led to another by Adriano. Brazil finally hit it's stride after a slow start to the World Cup. Should be a great match.
The World Cup takes two days off before the quarters begin with two games each on Friday and Saturday.

Brazil is pretty damn good. I think they will win it all without a problem.
