4-1! Quite the massacre. England have not convinced in this world cup and I think they got to play one match more than they really deserved. And yes that was clearly a goal, it's definitely time for goal cameras.

Germany continue to impress.

I don't think England played as bad as the final score would suggest.. I think it would have been a different match if they started the 2nd half with 2-2

I agree that would be another game if the ref didn't have made the mistake, but the English team felt it too bad, they're very experienced players, they shouldn't... But between the 1st goal and the NOT-2nd England played, on all other time, they lacked organization SO bad... Germans had the controll of the game...
Agreed even more about the technology, not like American Football ones, but like Rugby ones: the 4th referee has a TV, the 1st referee talk with him thru the radio and ask to him watch the replay and then the 4th say what happened... It takes 1/5 of the time of what happens on A.F.

yeah they were looking like the french team out there
 
Italia, France and England, three big teams out and deserving be out... I feel like one other shall be out soon... I'm looking at you Brazil!
 
So, this is happening again... Brazil vs Holland!! This is a serious match, I'd put something on the same league of Germany vs England, France vs England, Brazil vs Argentina...

Holland is the only team that was never champion of WC that is feared by everybody and that means a lot... But I've got a feeling that this year will be Orange!! HUP HUP!!!
 
First game so far where Brazil have actually played football! Chile earned a lot of respect from me by not giving up even at 3-0 with 10 minutes to go. Impressive, and a very entertaining game.

You're tottaly right! Chile is not a great team, it had way better players some time ago, but they played at their maximum and I give a lot of respect to it, but I knew Brazil would win... their only chance was scoring twice on the fisrt 10 or 15 min of the game and them play very fast on counter-attacks the whole game...
 
the germans really played well. England i thought done ok for a bit, but their defenders were everywhere, i beleive it was their defenders that cost them the goals. if a midfielder needs to run after a guy braking through the defence with no defenders closing down from the other direction then its just poor. they were up the feild and seemed to forget there job is defense, they should be more tactically aware and left gaps that amatuers would leave. the team just wasnt together.
 
Tomorrow morning is the D-Day on World Cup!!

With all respect for Uruguay, Gana and Paraguay, if they win, will be The Zebra!!!
Spain has a great team and started the WC as favorite to be the champion, but they're not playing very well...

Holland haven't played yet 100% of what they can, but they've showed the genetic of killers, they'll kill you on your fist mistake, cold blooded...
Argentina is very aggresive on attack, yet Messi haven't made a goal... But their defense is not as good as the attack
Germany has played very well, is a very young team, thirsty of glory...
And the 'boleirinhos' played their first match as a brazilian team shall play: imposing the game to the adversary, very agressive attack, but lets face it: Chile was playing 120% of what they can on the World Cup, this is a so-so team from them...

My bets:

Brazil has at least 60% of chance of victory, but Holland knows this is THE chance of they... Nobody is playing like hell and they have their best team in years... but the ego of some guys can put every efford down, I'm looking at you freaking Van Persie...
But I'm cheering HOLLAND!!

Argentina is playing very forward but the German team is very efficient, as they've showed England, you can't give them space, because they will score... this match I can't say who will win trully, think is the hardest to bet, but would be epic if Argentina passes, the only team playing like the old days, to make history... all others are playing the "rice and beans" to be champions only...

Spain vs Paraguay: Paraguay will play like if their lifes depended of the victory, but will not be enough, there is a huge difference in techniques...

Uruguay and Gana: Gana will have the support of all Africa, but they're not very good... Uruguay has also one of the best team in years, but this time means much more years than Holland... Last time they went semi-final was 1970... finals? 1950 when they won here on Brazil, everybody knows this history, I guess... I think Uruguay will pass.

What is your bets guys?
 
Holland-Brazil: I haven't been able to see a single match with Holland, but Brazil really has woken up now so I'm going with Brazil.

Uruguay-Ghana: Ghana is my new favourite team to watch, but I think Uruguay will be too much. But it will probably be pretty even.

Argentina-Germany: This game has WC final game written all over it already in the quarter finals! The game I'm most looking forward to. Argentina are great fun to watch, but Germany has impressed me the most of all teams so far so I'm guessing Germany. This will be one even game!

Paraguay-Spain: Haven't seen much of Paraguay yet, but Spain were very good in the second half of their last game. Spain here for me.

It's a good year for South America!
 
Yeah - Now the real games begin  :icon_tongue:

I both think Brazil will win and do support them in their effort. I think Brazil are taking too much criticism from folks who do not know that times have changed and you can't play the happy-go-lucky style from the ol' days. I think Brazil overall plays very well and their defence will hold on against the strong and dangerous Dutch attack.

I think Uruguay will win against Ghana. Uruguay seems to be the much better team there.

Argentina and Germany could be the game of this WC. I am leaning a little towards the German team. But looking forward to a great game.

I can't see Paraguay - even with the most of luck - do anything against Spain. Spain is a clear winner.
 
Boooo Karl!!

Holland-Brazil: I think we can do it.. We are twice as good with Robben in the team!

Uruguay-Ghana: U'ragay! they have Suárez! he's a big star in Holland and scores a lot!! he was actually scouted by my local team before he was stolen by Ajax...

Argentina-Germany: I'm afraid Germany.. :(

Paraguay-Spain: Spain obviously

The Final (Holland - Germany) will be very entertaining!!

I will not be surprised if Brazil will play more defensive than usual and try to score on the counter..
Regardless of who wins or loses, Holland will have the majority of the ball possession.
 
Wow Holland vs Germany would be REALLY awesome!!!!!! That would be a epic game!!! Think for the good of Football this year should win a team that has never win before or at least Argentina who is playing different than everybody

I'm not so sure about the Germans. Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez are lethal on the attack.

Revenge :evil4:
Tomorrow too, we took you out in '94 and '98, right?

Yes, I believe 98 was on penalties
If it will be get to that tomorrow, we're screwed! we're not very good at that.. in fact, we are cursed when it comes to penalties!!!
I think that 8 or 9  out of the last 10 tournaments (Euro cup or World cup) we got kicked out without actually losing once!... it was penalties almost every time, and we SUCK at that!!
