World Cup: The Semis are Set

South American teams, who started the week in great shape for the World Cup with four teams among the remaining eight, have been decimated in the last few days.
First Brasil was sent packing in a shockingly-bad match, then Paraguay lost to Spain in a close match.  Argentina was humbled by Germany 4-0, and the lone survivor is Uruguay, who won against a ten-man Ghana. 
Ghana has come under fire by many news organizations for their appalling display of cheating tactics (wasting time, diving, etc.)  They did this against the United States in their final 16 game.

Who will win the Cup?  Well, I would put my money on Germany.  A team has to score goals to win, and the Germans have been the only team to consistently score those goals...eight in their last two matches. 

The Germans will face Spain for their semi, and Uruguay will faceoff against the Netherlands.
