Down to the Final Matches!

Is it really the last week of the World Cup? I = so sad! I have been loving the matches - some full of heartbreak and some great surprises among the teams. Did any of you participate in an office pool? We did a low-key competition where we filled out the online brackets provided by ESPN. The early rounds nearly made my picks obsolete as the teams of my heart such as England and Italy made hastier exits than I would have liked. Oddly enough though, the two teams I picked for the finals are still standing - Spain and the Netherlands. The Red Fury and The Oranje. It should be a great match-up and, since neither team has ever won the coveted cup, I wish they could both somehow take it home. I picked Spain as the ultimate winner, but the Dutch are playing so well right now, it's hard to see how my Spanish boys will get past them. Then again, I thought the German game would have been a more difficult test than it was, so we shall see on Sunday.

Here are my Euro 2008 Champs -- Fernando and Sergio!!

Viva Espana!

Any thoughts? Inquiring minds want to know!
