That is Mr. PIIGS to you and it is the S in PIIGS.
(For those confused Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain stand for PIIGS).

I think one game elimination is not right. I mean sometimes teams just have odd days. Just look at the second to last game between the Lakers and Celtics. The Lakers simply humiliated the team that was winning until then. The final game then went on to be much more even. Teams fluctuate in performance and little things can trigger that. Germany lost to Serbia 0:1 and then went on to crush Argentina 4:0.

I agree.
I think that after the first round there should be new 4 member groups created with three matches total in each group.
At the end there would be a final group of 4 members with again three matches total.
It would have been much more fair, more fun and it would easily last two full months.

It might be too long for people. Its all about marketing after all and they want as many people watching as possible at moments where its most tight, since that means more advertisements sales.
There has to be a balance in length if they want to keep peoples interest I guess.

Good final, we'll see a first timer. Id like to see Holland win because they've come close before, they shouldve won at least one when they had the amazing Cruyff.

Cruyff himself said he would be happy to have Spain win it. The Spaniards also have the blessings of Paul The Octopus, so I guess it's congrats to Spain
