This game showed what I was talking about for a long time and what I said before the game. Spain is too old. They stick to the same names for ages and Del Bosque doesn't have the balls to put Xavi or Iniesta on the bench (just like the coaches in Barcelona), cause "they are legends". Spain doesn't have a striker as well. Costa managed to produce one goal, but can't manage to play a full game - he's months away from being in top form. Torres won't score even if he's alone with the goal and 1 meter away from it. Villa... let's just forget about him. I've said - Brasil showed that when you're not scared of them and just put pressure on them, constantly attacking, they get lost and can be beaten. Worked again.
Before the tournament started, I was betting on Brasil to win it all and I still stick to it. I was thinking that Brasil and Germany would duke it out with Uruguay and Belgium being other main forces, but now Netherlands are slowly showing up on radar.
Slowly, because let's not get lost and crazy about the Dutch just yet. This isn't the first tournament they start on fire, but run out of steam just after the group phase. I loved how they played, but let's wait and see. They can do a lot, but they can just fall apart any day. This is a tournament, the team that wins a tournament isn't the team that started the hottest, but one that grew the most during it. I think Brasil still has a tremendous upside.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
