The World Cup Thread

You guys watch the Serie A? I used to follow Juventus, good league there but I no longer have that Fox Sports Soccer channel which is a bummer. NBCSports is awesome for EPL games

Yep. I believe the latter network has latenite replays showing condensed EPL matches cutting out all the nonsense and breaks and featuring just the key moments and goals of course. Seeing matches in a short span like this is f'in awesome!
 
Back to the matter at hand.

So does anybody have any special plans for viewing the upcoming matches...your predictions etc?

I have a scheduled day off from work and will be heading to a nearby beach / etablishment for the Ger / Bra match...cant wait! Im going with a Ger v Arg final.
 
I wonder if Silva's ban is going to be cancelled or whatever the right word is, but I still think Germany wins that one. Argentina played well I thought for the first ~30minutes but then was rather lame, so i'm sticking with a white European final.
 
Germany 2 Brazil 0

I really think this game comes down to Germany surviving the 20-25 minutes when I expect Brazil to come out firing. As the game goes on I think Germany's superior skill will break down Brazil.

Argentina 2 Netherlands 1 (extra time)

This game is so close, I really don't know, but if Argentina play to their potential I think they win.

Thankfully, the request was rejected today. Typical Brazilian entitlement. The dude interfered with the goalie. Now live with it and take your punishment.
 
Hahahahaha, jogo bonito!

I still think Holland takes both Argentina and Germany though.
 
Germans are fucking beast. They should stop before people start to commit suicide.

Edit: @ Blind Guardian yeah, I'm rooting for Holland too.
 
OMG that was sooooo good. Brazil just collapsed the moment the first goal went in and Germany absolutely annihilated them. It was an absolutely unreal game to watch. I mean even nobody teams like the Faroe Islands don't get beat that badly, let alone Brazil at home in the World Cup Semis.
 
Hard to think Germany can be stopped after this beatdown. Tomorrow's match should actually be competitive though

They will have to move beyond this because it is such an amazing result, but it doesn't mean much if they don't win the final. And their finals opponent isn't gonna roll over like Brazil. But yes, when they are on their game Germany are clearly the best team in the tournament.

Seriously?...they wont have a problem moving on, just give them the title now. That was blitzkrieg all over again. I dont care who was missing from Brasil, Germany just went into the biggest bees nest in the world and destroyed it 7-1! This was thier test believe it or not...if they dont win the final ill shit out soccer balls til the next world cup.
 
When i left the scene at the 30' mark, i passed by a table full of Brazilian fans and passed on my sympathy. Two of the ladies said coincidently that they just returned yesterday from a trip to Germany and wished they stayed there to support and celebrate Germanys moment. YET THEY WERE SITTING THERE WEARING BRASIL SHIRTS WTF? I think they were in a state of shock idk lol.

The Netherlands and Argentina are pretty damn good.

Well, there's probably some kick ass parties going on in Germany...

Nonsense. It's just like any other sport. The way you perform in one game does not dictate how things will go vs. the next opponent. Argentina and Netherlands are stronger sides than Brazil and each have a superstar attacker. They will not just roll over.

Don't get me wrong, I picked Germany before the tournament started so I'm not backing off of that now. However, Argentina or Netherlands aren't gonna have a defensive meltdown like Brazil did. Germany will have to earn it.
 
Netherlands beats Argentina, Argentina beats Brazil for the final nail in their coffin, then Germany wins it all imo
