But with or without him Brasil should not be strong enough to beat Germany this time.
And Netherlands should beat Argentinia as well to realise a European Finale.
I hope this will come true.

the only interesting thing about a Germany = Nederlands final would be that it would be a rematch of the infamous 1974 final.

I go for Brazil - Argentina
South American teams are more fun to watch

Normally true, but surely not this time for Brasil, and not at all for Argentinia. In fact Argentinia served us the most boring football of the 4 remaining teams.
Most fun to watch was Netherlands to my eyes (from the last 4 teams).

But other South American teams like Chile, Mexico or Columbia were more entertaining than Brasil.
Talking of fun, then Brasil was only Neymar, and Neymar ..... and Neymar again .... )

That is what you get when you are helping an average/poor team getting into the semi finals. But the FiFa has got his money and Brasil his game of shame for the comming 20 years.

We were a little worried that Brazil would play too hard again and that the referee would not give them (enough) yellow cards again. But I gotta say "respect" to Brazil - I'm sure other nations would have been super pissed and startet to foul us heavily.

I almost feel sorry for Brazil, but what should we have done? Stop playing when it was 3-0? No!

7:1
Booooommm!!!

Told you so )

But of course I never imagined such an incredible destruction of Brasil.
This match will have a place in the history of the game forever.
What a dismantling!I still can't believe it.

What a shocka!

Argentinia was better, good luck against Germany

Luck alone will not help against Germany. They simply need to play more inspired than the matches before.

And I don't think they were better than Netherlands. It was a typical remis.
But something strange happened with Netherlands during the Tournament. First matches were strong, but then they faded away more and more. Maybe van Gaal was the reason, because he felt like godfather of all coaches again, feeding the players with too much tactical theory.

Argentina will be much better if Sergio Aguero is up to par.

Higuain has played well so hopefully they'll both be on the field to work with Messi. (Tevez should be in there too!)

Deutschland über alles!
