Movie-Arwen spends the day chatting it up with arcticstorm.

Be prepared to be shocked...

Uh.... which teams are which?

Sleepy, I think it's great that you are providing links to the games to build up the suspense. But for those of us who don't always have the time to sit through them would you mind posting the results (and the goal scorers) once people have had an opportunity to view the games? It's also quite difficult to make some of the game details from the clips.

On another note, it's great to see a few upsets, even though they go against my predictions (which, I suppose, is in the nature of upsets

). However, fingers crossed that our game doesn't follow the same pattern, eh?

Also, Sleepy, I think in future saying which colours are which might be more useful than saying which countries are which, as it's pretty hard to read on the video...

Yea, I realize that though the videos are great, they are an inconvenience (even to me) for people. So I've decided that only big matches will be taped. I plan to go back to the original format because then I can have the matches longer which makes them more exciting on the whole and keeps from too many upsets. If people want I'll re-do the entire Round of 16 or I'll continue from where we are. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

You mean videoing the matches makes upsets more likely?!

That would explain rather a lot!
