Well I only caught the second half but I must say that France deserved the win (although the 2nd goal was after a questionable foul). Spain just left too much open in the back end and France was very effective at shutting down the attacking Spanish. Not what I would have predicted from seeing the games in the first round. Since I was backing Spain after my beloved Dutch got knocked out I will not select another favorite (it seems to bring bad luck).
Well we are through to the Quarter=Finals with a single person in the lead in the pool for the first time since it all began, but things can change quickly. With the next round we will start to see some pool eliminations with actual points surpassing potential points for some players.
