Argentina has a chance if not Germany

Netherlands is usually unlucky during the World Cup's

Argentina will have learned the lessons from today and tighten their defense. If you leave spaces like Brazil did after conceding the first goal, Germany will kill you. The trick is to hold them as far as you can and counter attack. Argentina can beat Germany. They need a little bit of brilliance from someone and Messi might be that person.

Apparently it can get even worse for Brazil if Argentina wins the cup..& that too in Brazilian soil! :lol:

I am picking Argentina to win this. Germany is not as great as they looked today and there would definitely be some amount of complacency after this. Argentina, if they get to the final need to play smart and there will be opportunities to score.
 
A rare sight

I think Netherlands has been in the finals either two or three times, but have never won the world cup.
 
what a sad day :(

But kudos to Germany for not slipping in such an important match. 90 minutes and they were 7-0. No joke. Their Goal Keeper did an outstanding job.

Brazilian one, not so well.

you can see he has to dislocate entire facial muscles and the skin upwards and around to expand a little for a smiling face

Argentina will have to get through the Dutch, who are quite on top of their game right now. Argentinians are again a more or less one man team like Brazil, with all their eggs in one Messi basket. & one off day for the great man....that could be it. I think Germany had their game of the tournament & it's very hard to stay grounded for the finals after such a triumph. It could be the turn of the Dutch after-all this time around, best footballing nation not to have won the World Cup so far despite making 3 finals.
 
I watched the highlights again. All the 8 goals including the one Brazil scored were due to poor defending. If they defended even at an average level it would probably have been 0-0 in 90 minutes. The worst defense I have seen in my life.

I know Argentina does not have a lot of firepower. But you go back and watch all the goals, even a B division club would not let those goals starting from the first one. Germany won't be allowed to score freely like that in the final. A little bit of brilliance from someone can turn it in Argentina's favor. But yes Argentina may lose against Netherlands, in fact most people would be picking Netherlands tomorrow. But my gut feeling says that this time Argentina would be lifting the trophy. Keep in mind that I have never been an Argentina supporter. My top two teams have always been 1. Brazil and 2. Germany.

The 4 goals scored in quick succession at 23,24,26 and 29th minute just made the Brazilian team give up. They never recovered after that. It was poor defense no doubt, but also very poor tactics. Germany was at the top of the game and Brazilians were clueless. You get hit for a goal in 11th minute and you still do not up your game, that's just not Brazil, it is noob level at best.

Oh ya..watching those goals going in is like watching a Sunday league match in a local park. Absolutely pathetic defending. Just goes to show where Brazillian football is right now, baring one or two big names.
Coming back to the remaining games..there will be a overwhelming support for the Dutch to beat Argentina tomorrow. It would lake rubbing salt on Brzillian wounds if Argies goes on to win the cup. My pick would be Germany & Holland final..& Holland to win at the end.

Brazil had to bite the pillow on that one. Germany went in dry :(

Their goali is weak. They're very good at offense. So if argentina have good defense, dutch could be out

The last goal on brazil, goali didn't jump, just extended his army, as if it was pratice match.
