The World Cup 2014

[dutchie]

Brasil vs Germany Wednesday morning, State of Origin Wednesday night, The Netherlands Vs Argentina Thursday morning - beauuuuuuuutiful!

 

[Tink]

LOL dutchie.

As long as it's not another penalty shoot out game, though I know they have to do something to end the game.
I feel so sorry the pressure those players are under, not to mention the supporters, as you know.

Thankfully, we haven't had too many of them.

 

[McLovin]

I wonder what the odds were for picking this half time score?

When Brazil chokes they really do it with a bang. This is even worse than the France 98 final.

 

[dutchie]

Germany 7 - Brasil 1

Unbelievable!

 

[Tink]

Yes, unbelievable.

What an appalling effort by Brazil, no excuses losing their players but they were all over the place.
Talk about an open field.
Hello, you are suppose to defend.
They played nothing like their last game.

Well, Germany is through.

 

[Calliope]

Yes, unbelievable.

Oh! The shame of it.

"If only the Germans had a word for taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others"

 

[dutchie]

Well there's always 2018 to try again!

I am sure Australia and The Netherlands will be there.

 

[McLovin]

Disappointing semi from a neutral perspective (although I really wanted the Dutch to win). It will be a classic final though, Europe v South America, Germany Argentina. 1990 all over again.

Off to Rio tomorrow morning.

 

[Tink]

It is always hard with those penalty shoot outs, such pressure for the players and the supporters, but no other way to end the game.

Oh look at that, McLovin, your favourite, Argentina. Are you going there to hold their Cup

I'm quietly confident that I'll be cracking out the bratwurst on Sunday. Not chorizo.

 

[Calliope]

Only 17 but she's a World Cup winner.

A lot of good looking women watch football. Cameramen are very good at finding them in the crowd!

Ha ha, the old 'Harm-Joy'. Germany were clinical, and should hoist the cup on Monday morning, to the cascading tears of Les and Craig, lamenting the Jogo Bonito.

Les and Craig have worked their fingers to the bone in Brazil during the World Cup. They should go on an extended holiday afterwards to recover from their extreme efforts.

Memo to Holland, did you really think you were going to best Argentina in a penalty shoot-out? What about trying to win the game in normal time? What a p-s-weak way to lose a semi-final.

 

[Tink]

LOL Logique at Les and Craig, nice views from the studio.

I think Argentina will give Germany a run for their money.
Germany's main advantage is their extra day off.

I wonder what the odds are for this game, piggybank?

They both made it to the final, and its a new day.
You just never know what can happen.
Just my opinion.

 

[Tink]

Just adding, going by Sportsbet, Germany are $1.72, Argentina $2.10, to lift the Cup.

4 - 0 to the Germans I reckon Tink

 

[Tink]

I say 2-1 to Argentina.

Did Germany play well before Brazil with no players.

 

[Tink]

You wonder why they play this last game between The Netherlands and Brazil for third and fourth.
Not that I am complaining as its another game now that we are coming to an end, but I think its a bit tough on the losers.
I know they have to fill in the third place.

A few more days, and the World Cup will be over.

 

[Miss Hale]

LOL Miss Hale, it is only on every four years.

I know but I'm not the biggest soccer fan and what with Wimbledon on at the same time I just couldn't manage to see many matches

Will watch the final though as I have nothing on tomorrow

My money is on Argentina.
