Indeed. Looking forward to both semi-finals.

This tournament has been very open and there has not been any one particularly outstanding team. At this point, I would say any of these four can win the World Cup. However, it must be remembered that traditionally South America has been a graveyard for European teams.

Anything else [:D]

What will happen:

Germany and Holland in a boring final in which Klose scores a boring goal to crush Ronaldo's record and gives Germany their first world cup [;)].

What do you mean their first world cup? It would be their fouth if they do win.

Germany vs Holland is never a boring game. Too much rivalry. Anyone remember Rudi Völler and Rijkaard?

After the match, football strips/shirts were exchanged, a Dutch player is meant to have said: The only thing a german football strip/shirt is good for, is to be used as toilet paper." Not sure if this is true. But it would be fitting for the rivalry between these two teams.

I assume he means the first three were as West Germany.... don't really see the distinction if that is the case. This would be Gemany's 4th title.

Just some friendly banter for our german friends. Lighten up.

Germany 1-0 in early score.

Hulk is playing, why?

LOL Germany-Brazil 4-0 after 20 Minutes.

Pitty Brazil stood no chance against the German Reich.

wtf??

4-0 at 30mins? this surely nobody expected it.

I am kind of happy right now. [:)]

5-0. [:)]

This is the Germany that I remembered.

re-play the game please this was just training.

I haven't laughed so much at a football match since England put five past the Germans.

Best wishes,
Steve

ROFLMAO

The US loss of 0-1 to the Germans doesn't look so bad from that perspective.

The US were much better organized and disciplined.

Indeed. [:)]

But one should also consider that Germany did not really need to win that match.

Well we all knew the Brazilians were poor - and without Neymar and Silva they were in trouble but......

a) Total and utter respect to the Germans - they are incredible. 12 times in 16 World Cups they have got to the semis or better [&o]

b) If Scolari has no one better in his squad than either Fred or Hulk then..........

Has there ever been a more graveyard-like silence in the history of the WC matches.

To be fair Brazil could have had 2 or 3 already this half.. Oscar and Paulinho have had appalling tournaments.....

5 goals in 30 minutes who would have thunk it. Now that makes for an exciting game.

I disagree. One can admire the German play of course but this is not an exciting match - the match is dead.

I find it exciting but that might be because I admire how the Germans play.

The match is indeed over already but that is more because the Brazilians can't get their act together rather than the result. Some time ago I watched Germany play a 4-4 draw in a game where they had a 4-0 lead in half time.
