Argentina and the Netherlands are in half-time, currently all drawn at nil-nil. Once that game ends (it's sort of a mute point, both teams are advancing, it's just a matter of whose first in the group) one half of the round of 16 picture will be set. Germany vs. Sweden looks an enticing fixture, and whether it's the Argentines or the Dutch playing Portugal, that should prove a close match also.
Tomorrow, though, will be the true test for the US. Ghana has two of it's main scorers out, though the US will also be down two players. Then again, unless Italy can beat the Czech's (who will have Baros suiting up for the first time in the tournament) it doesn't matter what the US does.
In a bit of sad news, the cheese's hero, England Super Striker Michael Owen, went down with a ruptured ACL just 3 minutes into yesterdays match. He's, obviously, out of the tournament, and down for around 5 months. God speed, Owen. St. George's army will miss you!
