We only have basic cable so God bless the CBC for broadcasting it :)

I'd like to see Brazil in the finals, I really do but I'm going with Germany this time around, second pick is Italy. Guess we'll see if I should have placed a bet by next month or not LOL!

Brazil just tied the game with Croatia 1:1 in the 29th minute.

I don't know much about what teams are good, but I do enjoy watching World Cup (except for the countless diving).

I don't expect to see Canada for a while current ranking is 110, but of the flip side Spain hockey rankings maybe at that same level. lol
