I can see it already: Brazil wins Germany in an epic manner, without its best player. And then allows Netherlands to get their first title, at home. Hello Maracanazzo, it's been a long time.

Sounds pessimistic, but football has this kind of shit.


Nah Netherlands is gona get theyre second 2 times second place in a row (bi-vice for us Brazilian)

Well after this game Argentina can sigh in relief knowing they'll likely reach the final. Holland played horrible and Costa Rica played like a highschool team.

Expect more than one goal from Messi on the semis.

Are you even suggesting Argentina has been playing good?



Indeed if anything it's Holland vs Messi.

No semi-finalist has been playing good football.

The Netherlands have been better than Argentina so far, though.

You know this has gota stop, if theyre semi-finalist theyre obviously playing good football. Its more a matter of perception than anything, the deal is every so called "weak team" in this cup were actually a lot stronger than we were giving them credit, so every match for the so called "great teams" has been super hard. Still they won, the favorites are trough and we gona have two awesome matches on the semis, I have no doubt about it.



Semis why you no here?

._.

Grats on the win holland.

LMAO!!Oh the irony in this post.



kirby007 is going to be unbearable, isnt he?



                            

Oh. My. Shit.

It just wouldn't go in would it. Was like Belgium - USA all over again; a billion chances and nothing to show for it. Thank god we pulled through in the end because we actually played pretty decent. Brilliant tactic by Van Gaal, best substitution ever.
