If we beat SK.
We need to beat three teams. Just saying that there is no better chance with Brasil out. The only top tier team left is Italy, which we beat already.
...teams tend to regroup, not a given we can beat the a second time. In '94 we beat Bulgaria they ended up going further, 3rd place, than SE in that tournament.
What don't you guys understand? I'm not saying we are favorites. I'm just saying it'll never be easier. Any of the 7 teams left will fancy their chance now. No favorites left.

1 game at a time. Any of the remains teams could beat us too.
Sure. But no more favorites left. Any team left will fancy a chance to win their first World Cup (we, Uruguay and South Korea have made the final before).
We are notorious for under-performing when we’re favorites. Remember SK @ WC, Iran etc.

Oh well, Italy looking great again.
A rematch possible?
South Korea is really good as well, so first need to take care of that.

Bulgaria actually came out 4th. Sweden trounced them 4:0 I think, in the 3rd place match

.... I get your point though.

... And hat's why it's called football, anything can happen. We just have to take every match from here on as the final itself .

Underestimate any team to your own peril

There is parity in world football, as every team has talent and can play.
It is how you prepare and perform on game day, that generally determines victory.
The days of crowning any team as favorites are over, as there are not many countries
to be termed 'football pretenders'. Thus no need for unqualified bragging, as reality is
starring at everyone truthful to themselves.
"We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge,
governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”

― Chris Hedges
