The underdog stories, or as cricket would call it, minnows made this WC even better. Something cricket WC should take note. We had all our fun with the unknown and fairy tail stories, yet the Semis will be played by the super power contenders. How can you play sports when try to get rid of those amazing aspect of sports? It's just not sports. If the good teams are good enough, they'll make it, or else they are just not good enough (Spain). Sure, Brazil-Spain knockout game looks great on paper, but Brazil-Chile game was better. You can't just kill those games just because you think it'd either be a) boring b) shock knockout defeat.
Keep the BCCI World Cup to 16!
