I see Adams apple. Not surprising though.

Germany won't have too much trouble winning if Argentina plays like they did against Holland. I'm thinking a comfortable 3-1 Germany win.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think Argentina plays the 5 4 1 and Germany will not have more than a couple of shots. Argentines win on PKs.

They haven't ran that formation the whole tournament. I doubt they start now. They ran a 5-3-2 for one half in the first game and abandoned it because it wasn't working.

They have the right tactics now. They shouldn't change it. They finally found some balance.

Would love to see Brazil smashed again in 3rd place game.

I forsee a lot of young players getting caps for Brazil. Holland will play their usual starters since most of them will retire by 18.

Thiago Silva absolutely should have been sent off. I'm glad he didnt though. I really like him and that would have been tough to watch with him being captain.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Looks like the Dutch are picking up where the Germans left off.

 

[MG1968]

Brazil's defense is yet to show up even if their offense has had some pretty good opportunities.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I wonder if any Brazilian supporters are hoping for a loss to assure Scolari is done?

Should have been a penalty. Brazils getting jobbed.

Definite penalty.

Brazil is not getting jobbed. They should be playing a man down since the second minute.

Probably so. But Robben'made that look a lot worse than it was.

 

[Godfatha]

Brazil has had a lot of chances and blown every one of them.

Salt in the wound.

Wish granted.

One game left. And then we somehow survive until football starts.

Really really hoping for an Argentina win. Will officially make Messi the greatest of all time.

I'm hoping that it's not a replay of 1990. If anyone tries to thug it up on either side I want to see red cards fly.

 

[volball625]

Argentina radio saying Di Maria is fit. Let's hope

 

[MphsBlues]

I'm expecting a good match. Argentina3 Germany 2

 

[volball625]

No Di Maria. Same lineups as semis.

 

[volball625]

I'm gonna say 2-1 Germany. In ET

 

[Vol knight]

I'll stick with my 3-1 Germany pick.

 

[Vol knight]

Great game so far. Both teams having good opportunities to score.
