Slovakia!

For the first time since 1974, the defending champs go home after 3 games.  PAR becomes the the 3rd South American team to win their group.  BRA and CHI are next.  SLV makes the Round of 16 in their first WC.


And Eisner wins 70-68!  Wow....  138 games in the fifth set, 20 today.

ETA:   Only three picked SVK over ITA (Coin Tossed, FC Spermacidals, and Soccerbix) while only 15 had them through to the next round while 48 pegged PAR.  No one got both and four (Coin Tossed, I Hate Vodka Most, Samersig, Source) didn't get either PAR or SVK.  So both 2006 finalists (FRA and ITA) are out.  Wow.  How hard is this year's cup?  Out of 30 non-tied matches, the top score is only 23 (Forza Pazza and Lionelmessi).  In 2006, Paolo Rossi (same person as Forza Pazza) got 34 of 37 matches correct.  Also, no one has gotten more than 8 of the 10 R16 teams correct (not including NED and BRA who have already qualified).
