Yeah, I wanted Ghana to do well but wasn't really holding out much hope. I don't think a Germany - Brazil final is a dead cert. Argentina are looking pretty strong despite squeezing through against Mexico. Germany look surprisingly good going forward but they have definite defensive problems that could get them found out against stronger opposition. They are always going to be a resilient team though.
You can never rule Italy out as well...despite them playing some of the most godawful tedious football ever to grace a football field. But that's the Italian style....yawn. And England play in a similar way what with Eriksson managing Lazio previously. Go one goal up and then batten down the hatches. Boring, awful negative football which makes me want both of those teams to get dumped out if they continue to play in that way
