I'm going for a final of Germany v Argentina which the Argies will win.
Dark horse is Belgium.

Argentina don't have a decent midfield player, and Messi has had a dip in form this season, and has never done it at international level anyways.

The Germans have no chance with a 36 year old Klose leading the line, and with Reus now injured they're lacking some real pace in attack. Muller is clever, and Gotze is a great dribbler, but they'll need more pace to stretch teams.

You really think a 36 year old is going to be able to play 7 games every 4 or 5 days in the heat. Well he's going to have to, as they only have one recognised striker. The Germans have also been unlucky with the draw, all of there group games are in the worst conditions. They will be like a clapped out old banger running on empty come the knockout stages.


Just saying like,

Although Germany will win, changed my mind on that. They are a million miles from being clapped out though, it has to be said.
 
Bit of a rum choice for England fans <laugh>


I predicted Brazil & Argentina, I'm happy with being half right :)

PS...I reckon Argentina will win too.
 
When do Holland play, is it Sunday?

Think its today Diego, piss taking aside Utd got a proper manager 12 months to late.

But even though next season might see Utd's traditional attacking game change to a slower approach you'll benefit from someone that will kick are instead of meekly kissing it like Moyes.

He'll be throwing any remnants Davey left behind in the bin in his new office on Monday morning.<laugh>
 
The world cup finishes tomorrow, bloody hell, its gone quick, this is by far the best world cup i've ever watched in my opinion.

My best 3 goals -

1. RVP' header v Spain.

2. Rodriguez volley v Uruguay.

3. Cahill volley v The Netherlands.
