    Based on his performances so far Robben easily has another 4-5 years left at the top. His stamina is amazing. As quick as ever, defenders can't handle him, but he hasn't had the support today.

    So, did i really just see Holland swap keepers just for a penalty shootout? Cillisen must really suck at Penalties.

    If it wasn't for the Germans, i'd probably have stopped watching, only problem is that Loew is a loser. Whenever the Germans have gone out of recent tournaments, it's typically his fault, either by poor tactics, poor starters etc.

    It was the most blatant of yellow cards, the result will be corrupted as far as I'm concerned if he's allowed to play

    World Cup 2014: Brazil have little flair, says Joachim Low

    Germany coach Joachim Low believes the current Brazil side have little of the flair traditionally associated with the country's national team.

    "They're playing more robustly than any other team here," said Low.
    "There's little left of that traditional Brazilian style of football. At the end of the day, it's up to the referee to come up with the correct punishment."

    Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger agreed with his manager's assessment.
    "I am all for a healthy hardness, but some of Brazil's fouls were over the limit," he said. "Brazilians are not only football magicians. Hard tackling is part of their game. We have to be careful and so does the referee.''

    Interesting comments from Low and Schweinsteiger. Anyone else agree with the comments? I think they are correct but I suspect they are trying to pull some gamesmanship out too. It makes for a more interesting semi final.
