First up was Japan vs. Paraguay, comfortably the worst game of the World Cup thus far. Japan’s main man has guaranteed himself a ‘civic’ reception upon his return to Japan, but even the best efforts of Honda couldn’t produce a goal. The game finished 0-0 after extra time, and Paraguay nicked it on pens. Well deserved result to be fair, Paraguay are a better side with more ideas going forward, but the result was academic in the end because an ever more confident Spain will tear them a new one.
As mentioned above, Spain edged past Cristiano Ronaldo F.C. to secure a quarter final place later in the day. A David Villa goal was enough to settle it, and Spain are settling into a rhythm that makes them massive contenders for the tournament again. Carlos Quieroz, meanwhile, remains marginally more popular than Hitler. He’ll be out of a job soon. I’m also out of a job as of today, so if anybody is reading this and is in need of staff, give me a shout. I really can do anything.
