What the Jabulani just happened?? I knew Germany was going to beat Argentina, but 4-0? This is insanity!

“What the Jabulani?” or WTJ can be used interchangeably with WTF. However, it denotes even MOAR surprise and implies that the speaker is shocked, appalled, and flabbergasted at the exact same time.

Also, I hate it how every time somebody loses, they are taking the opportunity to blame it on the BALL. Srsly? You are the best soccer players in the world. Some people are able to score goals. Even if the ball is different, if you’re the one who can’t score with it, you suck more than they do, and therefore deserve to lose.

After the exciting Round of 16, here is a super awesome chart showing how the rest of the games are going to go:

As for the final four:

1. Spain will beat Uruguay to take third place, once again failing to win the cup.
2. The Netherlands will beat Germany to win first place. The Dutch will play total football and take full advantage of their opportunities, which is something most teams seem to fail to do. The Germans are younger and less experienced, and have less team chemistry than the Dutch squad.

And if you think I’m jumping on some sort of bandwagon after the surprise win over Brazil, I picked Holland to take first place since the first day of the tournament.
