Wow, I did not expect Costa Rica to beat Italy, a draw maybe but a win was surprising. Not so much though when thinking back how Italy play in major tournaments especially at the group stages. I thought they looked a better side when they beat England in that manner but then again it was just England and it was wonderful to see them officially leaving the tournament now by the hands of a team that they have not played yet.

Things will be tricky against Uruguay, I expect Italy to play for a draw as usual and as usual they will fail because it is the worst approach ever. Uruguay will slaughter them if they play the waiting game and as I said a couple of days back, it will be by the hands of Cavani.

As for France, DOUBLE WOW!! I am really impressed, the team is mostly young with little experience but Deschamps is showing that he was a key player in 1998 and he is now translating it on the field from the sideline. I would be extremely happy if they go and win the whole thing.

So far my verdict for the best performance has been

Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica from this side of the lake vs Germany, Holland, France from the other side.
