    Beautiful goal by Brazil (vs Chile) on a header off a corner kick. First corner kick goal I've seen in this Cup.

    the 2nd goal is even better. The flare may be back.

    I still want to see a bad ass diving header off of a cross, definitely my favorite play in soccer. I would say bicycle kick for a score but that is like a perfect game in baseball, its very rare.

    I didn't get to see the goal by Brazil was it a diving header?

    no diving. Just a very powerful climb and solid header on net

    You know Ronaldhino must be in pitiful shape to be left off the Brazillian team. He is so talented, i am still trying to figure out why Dunga left him at home....

    Damn he went high 90 on that header, that's damn near impossible to defend....

    Only thing i can think of is that Ronaldinho did not want to play in the style Dunga wants. There are some stories that Dunga is punishing Ronaldinho for embarrassing him in 1999.

    Who are you pulling for now that England and the US are out, for me it would be The Netherlands, and then Ze Germans.

    toss up between Spain and the Dutch. IF neither of those 2, I think an Arg/Bra final would be magic.

    Netherland v Brazil and Argentina v Germany are some awesome quarterfinal games.
