I think Australlia may be able to sping an upset against against Italy, but I doubt Ghana will be able to beat Brazil especially when Essien cannot play.

I'd predict Brazil - Ghana to be the biggest victory margin of the knockout stages....

Thumbs up for Australia for being such great fighters. A well-deserved qualification.

 

Brazil wasn't brilliant in this phase but did just enough to show them who's the boss. Káká has been then player I've been liking most to watch.

 

I expected more from Croatia while Japan simply gave the tournament some quirkyness.
