Which elimination surprised you?
The one from Spain: I thought it was happening, especially because they have very good players, but they weren’t enough; he needed a little more to make a difference.
About the title contenders…
”Soccer wise, Brazil is at a brave level. France and the same Argentina; Lionel Messi still makes the difference.
What is your favorite team to win the World Cup?
Argentina is my candidate since I came from Colombia, and it is still in it. He is playing well; Let’s hope it reaches them to win.
What was the surprise?
Spain and Belgium were more surprising, because Germany is in training, but Belgium looked good to me, because it was almost the same team as before. And Spain had played well in the first game, but they didn’t do it again.
About the Netherlands vs. Argentina…
That match is not easy. Nothing is easy here. You have to follow very carefully to advance to the next round.
How did you see Ecuador?
Ecuador played very well on the day of the Netherlands; He should have won, but these are things that happen in football.
About the Uruguayan team…
Uruguay had a good team. Unfortunately, they didn’t play what they had to play, because I remember that they played very well in the last five games in the tie. (D)
