And Neymar has been ruled out for the semi and the final. This is crying out for Belgium or Holland to change history.
de nederlandse verdienen voor jarenlang onderhoudend voetbal. Ik denk dat het hun tijd! (Cheers to my pal Kenny for the translation, in your face Google..)
I think it will be Belgium or Holland. One team I don't fancy is the Germans, France didn't play well today but still made several chances. I said Argentina pre tounament and put a big wedge on them, but I think I'm gonna lose that. I'm only favouring the Dutch as a) I have a few Dutch pals and b) I think that they deserve one for what they've brought to world football over the years.
The Argies are average. Costa Rica are gone. Brazil without Neymar are average. The Germans are just so ****ing efficient and effective I can see it. The Dutch I find poor at the back and quality at the front. The Belgians are cracking all over but aren't used to winning. The Dutch deserve a world cup. Still, the Belgians for me having grown up in Brussels.
Brazil Argentina final Argentina and Messi to click and hammer them 0-5 World War 3 could start in Brazil. (Not being serious but there would be hell on as they hate each other).
After the ****y stunts they've played lately I'd have to say anyone but Argentina. Brazil after that though
All european final, would rather Holland beat Germany, but not really that bothered. Don't like or rate Brazil / Argentina.
