Gertrude says some people call the team from England the “Three Lions” but they don’t look that fierce to me! Emperor Wilhelm’s boys look solid. We’ll see how they do once they play a team from a country with more than 20 people living in it.

Best Game: England v. Sweden. The Swedish attack is still as boring as an Ikea bedroom set, but I can’t deny that it’s functional.

Best ESPN Factoid: During commercial breaks, Julie Foudy likes to start stories with “So back when we won the World Cup . . .” or “That time we won the Olympic Gold Medal . . .” just to mess with Alexi Lalas’ and Eric Wynalda’s heads.

Best Worst face paint: I can’t decide what is more disgusting — the origami hair style or the botched face paint.

The Final Whistle: This dude is brave!

Overall Hasselhoff Rating for the Day: (out of 5)
