I'm laughing so hard at everyone who said that Colombia was gonna win xD VIVA LA BRAZIL!!!!!

Germany you are next to get knocked down

Yeah colombia are a good side but to be honest they didn't play any-side of Brazil caliber yet and now that they played brazil you have seen the result.

Yep Colombia simply faced a team with a great caliber and brazil simply showed them there place.

Now this is true sportsmanship. That's why David Luiz is one of my favorite players.

Well damn ............thanks France & Colombia -_-

I feel ya.

OT: Brazil played better today than last time, regardless I look forward to this first Semi-Final. I hope tomorrow offers a bit more exciting games.

I predict a comfortable win for Netherlands tomorrow. However, i am very worried for the Argentinean team who were less than convincing in their victory against Switzerland, i hope aguero is fit and starts.

 

[Vega]

While I hope Costa Rica upsets its most likely that Holland will win.
Not sure about Belgium v. Argentina, but I'll go with Argentina. So I'm saying Netherlands vs Argentina Semi-Final.

The key for Argentina tomorrow will be defense, if they can stall this belgium team, then they just might win, in the last game against USA belgium looked little precarious under pressure during the end.

It will be a close game nonetheless, I hope Di Maria performs better, and Demichelis is brought in during danger, his experience will help.

Yes Demichelis experience might helpful but as seen when he plays for Manchester city he is prone to errors and can make decisions that cost the team greatly so i hope that is not the case tomorrow. Aguero is back in training but he is still a major doubt for tomorrow clash so if higuain plays he has to up his game as his lack luster performance wont cut it against this belgium team.

Neymar is OUT of the World Cup. He has a broken vertebrae and cannot play further in the tournament. The Official doctor said its not serious enough to require surgery but he can't play in this tournament.

So Germany is pretty much into the final....

Yeah just read it on bbc, that knee to the back looked quite ugly, but I never thought it would fracture a vertebrae.

The final will be Germany vs. Belgium. The first all European final on South American soil. Brazil even with Silva/Neymar were highly overrated and lucky to have gotten this far (ref I'm looking at you). Even today they had over 34 fouls and a single yellow, because the ref didn't want to hamper them (and I like Brazil btw). They were getting away with it all.

As for Argentina, Belgium will show how average it really is (Messi magic only works on disjointed units, any actual team would do to Messi what Germany did 4 years ago). Yeah the group stage had great attacking football and lots of goals, but in the end the 2 most defensively sound teams will get to the final (Germany/Belgium). Not the overly attacking, suicidal ones. This may upset some of you, but that's the harsh reality. Belgium & Germany are the two most COMPLETE teams left in the tournament. It will show, and in the end German experience will triumph Belgium's inexperience (Bayern vs. Dortmund, Real vs. Athletico style).

Neymar is so silly. The guy is not built and he dives quiet a lot of times. That is an extremely risky thing to do and he paid the price today. :'(

I'm just going to say straight up no. What you've said is nice and all but tomorrows winners are going to be Holland and Argentina.

I agree that Neymar's diving was way out of hand, but damn I do feel somewhat bad for him.
Looking like its gonna be a Germany appearance in the final.

At that moment it looked as if it was all done to waste time, even before Neymar's injury many brazil players were falling left and right and feigning injury and wasting time, it was after the replay the injury looked a little serious.

As for Brazil, they lost their one true defender Silva for absolutely stupid challenge, that is also gonna hurt them gravely.

I agree. I still think Dante can contribute to team being he's played with many of the players on Bayern.

DON'T SAY SUCH THING!

It's because of people like you that I get SO nervous. Goddammit.

>_> IF we were to win, we'd be up to the devils; Belgium. No way things are going to get easy. But I hope for the best. If The Netherlands lose today, I'll support both of my neighbors.

Edit: Starting with Belgium, this may be their first win.

But then again, that is only IF we lose. No way that is going to happen without a nervewracking match.

No thiago silva and no neymar against germany its a shame, i hope neymar gets better and comes back stronger next season. Belgium will show how average argentina are? That principle works both ways. Germany always choke on the big stages in the world-cup cup be it semi final or final and their failure to win the past 4 editions of the world-cup despite reaching the quarterfinals/semifinals is testament to that, remember how bayern were hopelessly thrashed by madrid? I wouldn't rule that out for the german side. Lot of formidable teams are still present in this tournament i dont see this german side beating the Netherlands.Over-hyped!

The devils? Assuming argentina are knocked out right?

The red devils, to be exact. But who knows. It's was a "IF this were to happen" guess, I mean they came so far with everyone prejudging etc. They might just win the cup.
