2014 FIFA World Cup - Brazil

[Lucas]

Many didn't believe in Argentina.
Many thought we didn't deserve the final.
Many predicted a Netherlands' victory.

Many were wrong.

Thank you Argentina.

 

[AlvaroF]

It's no fair, Argentina has the Pope help...

 

[Lizard]

I reckon it will be Argentina vs. Germany. I expect one other European and one other South American team will make it to the semi-finals, but I have no idea who - a lot will hinge on how the draw plays out.

How did you do this?

Thank you Argentina.

Germany: I will break you.

Brazil v Argentina final and Belgium/Germany v Spain 3rd Place

I said this over 2 months ago, I wasn't far off TBH.

 

[ScottPuss20]

This should be fun...

 

[Touring Mars]

Argentina have qualified for the final... Germany have taken pole position by a country mile.

 

[Akmuq]

It's not like Vlaar hadn't been superb up to then, though.

I mean, how can he be so **** for Villa?

He's Villa's best player....


Anyway, for the last 2 years I've predicted Germany for this, so I hope they win. Although I'd like to see Messi win it as well to take his place amongst the greatest players ever.

As if he isn't already one of the greatest players ever?

 

[Famine]

Can't believe the Dutch have thrown it away again!

There's only three teams I'd less rather see win a World Cup final than Argentina and Germany. Spain, Portugal and England.

 

[Akmuq]

As if he isn't already one of the greatest players ever?

Some critics believe he needs to win the World Cup to be considered the best ever.

 

[Ross]

Some critics believe he needs to win the World Cup to be considered the best ever.

I agree he isn't the best ever, that would probably be Pele for me but he's definitely in the all time XI.

 

[Famine]

Some critics believe he needs to win the World Cup to be considered the best ever.

Pele, regarded by many as the greatest footballer who ever lived, rated George Best as the best player ever and he never got as far as even playing in a World Cup...

 

[Lucas]

Sadly, I predicted either Germany or Brazil to win the World Cup, so... good-bye.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Can't believe the Dutch have thrown it away again!

You have got to admit we're pretty good at that.

A message from the german football teams facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?....159294524148205.40362.119410741469917&type=1

Translated it reads:

"Dear Brazilians. First we would like to thanks for the affection we are being greeted by everyone in every moment of our stay in Brazil. After 2006 we know how painful it is to lose a semi-final at home. We wish all the best and the best for the future for you."




Respect to Germany, sporting even in victory.

 

[andrea]

They canceled Messi out, they canceled Robben out, that's about all that really happened.

Happy for Argentina to go through though.

 

[CinnamonOD]

But it's not like they lost 7-1

I think it was easier for the Germans to get over it than to the Brazilians... If they ever do

And by the look of things, they will never get over it...

 

[sems4arsenal]

I want a Germany win but won't be easy, Argentina should have Di Maria and Aguero ready.

 

[MoLiEG]

Argentina has a chance if the stars that compose it's offense emerge from their slumber and create attack situations. If they do not, they are hopeless, the Germans will crush them...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

How did you do this?

I have no idea, but I so wish I had put money on it.

 

[Akira AC]

Well, that was a bit unexpected.

Well played Argentina, you surpassed my expectations despite your performance.



I would say that Germany won the WC, that said, this is Brazil 2014, anything can happen.

 

[FoRiZon]

Oh come on people. Why didnt give Argentinas a chance?

 

[m8h3r]

I really wanted a Germany Holland final. Then for Holland to win it.

What's the biggest margin in a world cup final?

 

[20832]

That sure will be a very interesting game! Luckily we have a lot of support in Brasil, from our own, but also a lot of brasilians are rooting for us!
But I'm 100% certain, that that game is not going to turn out 7-1, not even 3-1. I think, this is going to be a very close game

Unlike the Brazilians the Argentinians have a good defence, so what might happen is Germany attacking and Argentina scoring on a quick counter.

That's the great thing about football ainnit; anything can happen

That sure will be a very interesting game! Luckily we have a lot of support in Brasil, from our own, but also a lot of brasilians are rooting for us!

I think the same; this one will be much much closer.

 

[Litchi]

I have no idea, but I so wish I had put money on it.

I reckon that was a pure prediction 👍

 

[Monatsende]

 

[Touring Mars]

If Argentina win the final in the same manner in which they have reached the final, they will surely be the least deserving World Cup winners in history. Apart from the occasional flash of brilliance from Lionel Messi, they have been woefully uninspiring and dull. I never thought I would say this, but I really hope Germany tear them a new one in the final.

 

[35mm]

(...) teams I'd less rather see win a World Cup final than Argentina and Germany. (...) Portugal.

Ah, to be loved...!

Prediction for Sunday: GER 2 - 1 ARG
Prediction for Saturday: NED X - 0 BRA

With X > 0.
