World Cup Roundup: On to the semifinals

The semifinals are set with Germany to play Spain and the Netherlands to play Uruguay. The nice part is that all four teams will play at least one more game after the semifinals. We have the possibility to see a new team being crowned World Cup winner if Spain and the Netherlands make it to the finals. We also could see a Uruguay-Germany final which would pit previous cup winners. All the quarterfinal games were rather entertaining although the Germany-Argentina game got boring after a while due to the German scoring plethora. A key aspect of the games will be who is ineligible due to yellow card accumulation and red cards. The list includes: Luis Suarez of Uruguay for the intentional handball (red card), Nigel Dejong for accumulation of yellow cards, and Thomas Muller for accumulation of yellow cards. I sincerely hope that the Netherlands gets to the final and finally wins the World Cup. Adding an eighth winner of the World Cup would be nice.
