The worst final, imo, would be USA vs Russia.
Given that the Russian didn't make out of group and the US likely has the toughest path to the finals with Belgium, Argentina and the Netherlands in their path to the finals, you don't have to worry.
Tough year for Russia in international sport with their dismal performance in Olympic hockey and early World Cup exit.
Well the Russians were never a really strong football power. Maybe a middling one. They are not weak, but never good enough to break out into the ranks of the top football powers. So the fact they are eliminated isn't a huge surprise.
The same can't be said for hockey. Russia has an illustrious history in the sport with many gold medals (as the USSR), not to mention a good number of Russian players in the NHL. But I don't think they could really gel as a team these days, they act like prima donnas when they are on their national team.
Not 100% sure tbh. Gotta check but something like 168 additional HK$ ( early bird special rate you know ) ;-) I subscribed during the Winter Olympics - TVB Network Vision as they told me the World Cup will be included later in June :-) :-) But of coz once the football is over, I'm doomed enjoying a pretty useless TV package for quite some time :-(
