Upsets

Brazil, England, Argentina out. The favorites bowed down before reaching semis and it is up to Germany, the host nation, to redeem the title if they indeed will reach finals again. I am a sucker for underdogs, so seeing France kick the World Cup defending champion was something. I'm still betting for the "underdogs" so France will go all the way.

On the grasscourt, it's bye-bye for the defending champion Venus Williams on Women's Singles, Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi on Men's Singles, in his final Wimbledon appearance. I'm still betting for Roger Federer to still reign supreme in this department and Maria Sharapova to prove that she's not a one-trick pony in the grasscourt.

And I'm sensing an upset locally, Manny Pacquiao faltering on his own grounds. Or not. Let's see later.
