SUX 2 B Melo! :lol:

I am actually very relieved that Brazil is out. A sixth title would've been so boring, and it's not like they won't get it in 2014 anyway. ;)

Judging from the teams they'll meet in the quarter finals I'm guessing that Holland just played their way to the final. Hopefully Argentina och Germany makes it there as well so Holland can get revenge from 1974 or 1978.

How sad... The defeat felt even more horrible after that great first half. They had no heart to recover after the first Netherlands goal, fuck Brazil

Yep, our team completely fell apart at the 2nd half. Shame.

At this point the cup will go to either Germany or Argentina. Holland will make it to the finals but I doubt they're strong enough to beat either of them.

Good luck to the germans, you're in for one hell of a fight.

I'm so glad Holland won as I'd been telling everyone at work they'd make the finals and lose to Germany. So my predictions are still on. Melo sucked shit for Juventus all year. Not that good and is a dirty player, he showed that today. Van Bommel though must have had some dirt on the ref because I don't know how in the hell he didn't get a yellow card about 5 times at the end of the game.

I was rooting for Uruguay, but I can't help feeling sorry for Ghana. Looking at previous world cups the third placing team is usually an underdog, so I guess Uruguay will claim the third place now.

Ghana got robbed, they really put everything in and didn't deserve to have it taken away with a handball.

Man, I can't believe Gyan missed that penalty. Such a shame. It would be awesome if Uruguay made it to the final though.

Suarez is a national hero now :lol:

A lot of people will say shit about him but he sacrificed himself to save the team. That was glorious if you ask me.

A smart play for sure. I had to laugh at Gyan missing that as I think he's a cocky fuck. Oh well, they still had a chance to win, so they blew it 3 times (regulation, Gyan's PK, and the PK's). Tough shit, that's sports. Now onto the Netherlands-Germany final. Can't wait to see this Germany-Argentina brawl tomorrow.

By the way, Suarez should really avoid public places now and get out of Africa as soon as he can. The Africans will burn him alive :lol:

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! 4 orange!

1st half, Brazil almost walked over us (I already could live with a defeat if they played that well!)
Second half wethrew of all reserve & actually played ok 4 1st time this tournament... :D

Uruguay vs Ghana was a fantastic match in the end, Ghana were sooooo close 2 advancing... :shock:
memorable game in all respects!

Tomorrow I will cheer 4 Maradonna, Messi, and co...
They have way more quality than germany ( Ötzil is very good though!)....
but hey, Germany is never defeated till the final whistle , so who knows........???

2 saves, one illegal? Yeah, he sacrificed himself and saved his squad to play on and for that he has my respect. He was a productive member of the Uruguay team and it was nice to see them progress as far as they did. I don't believe they'll get past Holland, especially without Suarez and even with a wizard like Forlan, but it should still be an interesting game.

As mentioned, Ghana had their chances and Gyan missing in the penalities was the final straw. Had they still somehow managed to win would've been more of a shocker, after all that.

Tomorrow will be a real cracker, it's a shame Arg/Ger is on so early. Guess I'll need to brew some extra maté.

I don't think Spain can handle Germany. I think Germany will plough through anyone in their way.

can't argue with you after seeing this match...;)
Germany totally overrun the Argentinians, not by individual class though, but by being a team and playing we systematised.
Argentina had no system at all...
ozil, schweinst., and muller are playing tourney of their life!
Now I hope u beat Spain, and we hope 2 do well against Uruguay, than it's really interesting... :D

Paraguay was great tonight btw,they were better on the whole, but denied a valid goal imho.
penalties were strange though... O_o

Surely there must be some of you that don't just live behind a PC screen and play computer games all day? Don't be an armchair supporter, post your pics of supporting your country out and about with your friends, where ever you may be.

Especially since now Germany play the kind of total football the Netherlands usually played, whereas the Netherlands play a very German no-frills-but-efficient style. Maybe it will be a 1974 rematch, but with roles switched? :lol:

Anyway, if NL win the cup I'm gonna stop by and confiscate your bicycle, so you better watch out. ;)

Netherlands vs Germany would be a cool final match, indeed.
After seeing the laughable match between Spain and Paraguay
i am pretty certain Germany will rape Spain. Hard.

Let's just hope the next two German matches will be as entertaining as the last ones.

Wow, an almost 50 year old tradition has come to an end. Two teams from the same continent will claim the title two times in a row.
