I know most people who read this BLOG have absolutely no idea what is so great about soccer - much less the World Cup - but 3 billion people can't be wrong.
In the quarter final match between Brazil and France, Brazil was definitely the big favorite going in. Amazingly France won with almost the same players that had won the World Cup 8 years ago (hence why they were the underdogs).
The mayhem that ensued after the game (we watched it at Murphy's Irish Pub) was something to see. It seemed like everyone from Strasbourg and the surrounding area massed in Place Kleber and caused a bit of a raucous.
France will face Portugal (who had just beat the UK) in the semi-finals, where France is the favorite.
