Points to Ponder

Funny how things come full circle sometimes:

Brazil are playing like Germany of old, while Germany are playing like Brazil replete with 3 forwards - jogo bonito, anyone ?

Is Maicon v Giovanni Van Bronckhorst the biggest test for the marauding right back ?  And perhaps the only time so far he's had someone to contend with on that side ?  Can't wait.

Argentina, for all their attacking brilliance, are carrying a massive hole in the region just in front of their defence.  Mexico almost colonised it in their match.

Antolin Alcaraz has been the best central defender at the world cup so far, will he keep Villa quiet ?  Have Wigan beaten Arsene at his own game by getting him from Club Brugge ?

Spain have no left back and are now without a second striker.  Costly ?  Does Del Bosque not like Fab ?

Gilberto walks into the Brazil team which by all accounts is quite good and he more than holds his own.  However he could not make it into Arsenal's team.  What does that say about Arsenal and the Premiership ?

Finally, if Uruguay and Brazil get through their QFs will the former exact revenge for their 07 Copa Semi elimination on penalties ?
