Why it is getting hot out there....

Its gonna be a short blog today....

We all have seen the WC so far.

Spain and England  - Out !!

Uruguay and Portugal - Less said the better. More good looks, tight fitting jerseys and beefcake than good football.

Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy - yet to take off in full flight.

Netherlands, Chile, Colombia, US and France  - super impressive.

Belgium - Hmm..hope they get better.

Ghana - truly sad they lost to the US..Hope they win against Portugal.

The odds offered by the bookies pretty much tell the story of this World Cup...too difficult to call the 4th semi finalist. Brazil, Argentina and Germany seem all set (at least by popular demand). I would fancy a punt on Chile, France or Belgium to reach the Semis.

This is what William Hill says...

To Reach the Semi Finals: 4/7 Argentina, 8/11 Brazil , 4/5 Germany, 13/8 Holland, 7/4 France, 11/4 Belgium, 3/1 Chile, 4/1 Colombia, 5/1 Italy, 6/1 Ivory Coast, 7/1 Costa Rica, 8/1 Croatia, 8/1 Mexico 9/1 Uruguay
