Hop, Hop Holland--and other Europeans too advance in World Cup Quarter Finals
(at least for now)

The Orangemen of Holland swept the field and won over Slovakia 2-1 in the latest World Cup match in South Africa. The Dutch are doing well in a land at least in part founded by their forefathers in 1652.

Germany has also moved into the quarterfinals defeating England 4-1 in a game dogged by controversary over a disputed goal by the Brits and called as null by a Referee. Same thing happened to Team USA against Slovenia by the way, except the result was 2-2 and the void goal cost America a win.

TEAM USA who got quite far in the World Cup, finally fell before Ghana in a 2-1 game. USA nonetheless proved we are serious players, not noivices, and going to be back. The French are singing Les Blues, Italy is out, as is Slovena and Slovakia.

The big boys from Latin America are circling--Brazil and Argentina.

The games are really getting down to the wire...Spain versus Portugal!!

This is getting really good.
