Toughest one to call so far... I see this going to penalties and Sweden pulling it off.

I still can't believe Sweden won our group.

blame Italia, their painfully average performance against us should have never been enough to qualify for this tournament, yet it served as the inspiration they needed

They were so bad in their first 2 WC games, too. I didn't watch the third game against Mexico - obviously their best game - but it's just hard to understand how they win the group. They were so terrible, even Germany could beat them

boring game, who's surprised? finally a decent chance on goal for either team after ref allows play to continue after a blatant hand ball

Well, this one hasn't exactly been a classic.

Congrats Sweden! Who would have guessed they would get this far? They face England or Colombia in the QFs, not exactly the most threatening of draws either way.

Would not be surprised if they make it to the semis. They're certainly tough to score on, if anything
