and of course Holland will beat Slowakije today :D I think it's going to be a tough match, so it will probably be something like 1-0 or 2-1 it's a shame I have to work all day :(
Hup Holland Hup I hope they win this world cup and then I can finally experience a world Cup winning experience in one country. Yeah 1998, I was NOT living in France, I was in the Uk, and celebrating in an english pub surrounding with all these angry world cup loosers was not that fun lol :)
brasil can maybe only win from the Netherlands because of the individual actions of Kaka or Robinho the midfield of brasil is one of the worst ever by the way
the netherlands weakness is their defense line. Our greatest strenghts is the teamspirit, van Bommel and Robben.
i really can't stand the brazilian and the dutch playing style. all defensive and effective and so on. i'm really more into the offensive, attractive kind of football, and that's why it has been so much fun watching our german team recently. such a shame that we're gonna face argentina so early, it would've been a fantastic final. and i think there's no doubt that the winner of this match will claim the trophy in the end. these two teams have been by far the most impressive.
After seeing Spain yesterday I give them the biggest chance. They made a better impression to me than germany, argentina, brasil or the netherlands did upto now.
@LordMyst, that's right. We can come down here and speak in english and many players speak several other languages due to countries they had to play in...but counting to 10 is so much harder lol
It usually pisses me off watching Brasil playing cause they're so damn lazy, we all know they could play awesome games and they end up messing things. But! They usually wake up when pressed, so as stronger the team they're playing against, better the game is put up ;)
I'd love to cheer for Germany, but I'm torn here - every brasilian is eager to watch a Brasil x Argentina final match (although I think Argentina has a stronger team this year and they'd mock us until the end of times). Have some days to decide.
Don't worry LordM, when we learn count to 10 we'll gonna start from 0 again, just to have some fun for you guys in the football's sooner future.
@Zythux said "After seeing Spain yesterday I give them the biggest chance. They made a better impression to me than germany, argentina, brasil or the netherlands did upto now."
You're always funny, Zythux. Nice joke!
Whatever.. Brazil and Argentina in the finals.. and try to find the lasts results of this derby.
Don't worry, in 2018 all of you will have a chance to beat us again.
I was serious. Germany got ran over by the Englishmen between the 2-1 and 3-1. I would've liked to see if they made it, if England's goal was counted. I must confess they played some great counterfootball, though. Argentina didn't have real competition yet. Mexico was the better team before the 1-0, after 2-0 they gave up. Brazil has a mediocre team this year(compared to what we use to see of Brazil), with only a few real top players (Maicon, Julio Cesar and Luis Fabiano, maybe Lucio). The disadvantage is they have not been tested very well, they may surprise if they really have to. The Netherlands have the best forwards except for Argentina, but they haven't showed it yet, besides that they have some really weak spots. Furthermore, the same as Brazil, they have not been tested very well, so they may surprise. Spain didn't play that well against Portugal (Many wrong passes from Xavi and Iniesta for example), but they were still the better team for 90 minutes (something you can't say about Argentina and Germany). They have by far the most potential in my opinion.
We'll see it on 11 July, but I predict a final with Spain and the winner of the Netherlands - Brazil, with Spain as favorite for the cup.
Argentina-Mexico - first goal for Argentina: offside - the better before the goal: Mexico Germany-England - Referee´s didnt see the 2:2 Spain-Portugal - 1:0 was offside
and lots of big mistakes which decides often matches in the groups ...
so its hard to say which team will win, when the referee´s performance will be as bad as until now
Netherland got 4 matches against victims, i am curious how they play against a good team. But i seems Robben is fit. I know him, i am a fan of Bayern München (Munich), i saw about 30 matches last year of him. If he is fit, nobody can stop him. So i think both got a fifty fifty chance, i hope i can enjoy a nice match :-) i bet in wingame 2:1 for brasil
Argentina got Demichelis (a player of Bayern München like Robben) and i must say he often make big mistakes like the one before the goal for south korea. So both defences are not the best, but have great potential in the offensive. So i think the first goal decide the match, as german of course i bet 2:1 for germany :-) But in the wingame i bet spain will be the cup winner, so next match is the end for the winner of the match :-(
Erm...I guess not many people here speak portuguese, so here comes an attempt to translate ^^'
Up: "There are those who transform with creativity boring tasks in pieces of art." Down: "May this genial Philippe Starck object inspire Dunga's team on friday".
And yeap, laughed loud on it :P
Let's hope they manage making it a great match. Two big teams playing boringly would kill me :P
We just had to do a bit of the pre-game rivalty, but I just hope we have a good game. And if it's for losing the cup, I'd feel better losing for Ntherlands or Gana. Not Argentine. They'd remind us of the fact ultil the ends of time xD We don't have the strongest brasilian team and we had some losses on field already, so I hope they wake up and bring the best they can do :)
