Long day! Up at 4:30 am to drive to Durban. Got in about noon and got our rooms. Had some lunch and then walked to the stadium, a nice change after our first night experience.

Holland vs. Slovakia, dominated by the Dutch. 2-1 but Slovakia scored in stoppage time on a penalty. With Brazil's win vs. Chile that sets up a Netherlands vs. Brazil quarterfinal. Uruguay vs. Ghana and Argentina vs. Germany make up 2 of the other quarterfinals. The last quarterfinal match up will be the winner of Paraguay/Japan and Spain/Portugal.

We still have a chance to see Spain here in the Durban semi-final if they can beat Portugal and then win their quarterfinal. Fingers crossed!

We are spending the day in Durban tomorrow rather than heading back to Joburg/Pretoria to see Paraguay vs. Japan. Another 6 hour drive and a 4th match in 4 days was too much for everyone. We'll head to Loskop tomorrow night and start prepping for the tournament!

Hope to be able to find internet tomorrow to post pictures, etc.

Thanks for reading!
