VdV will step in for De Jong, I think Marwijk will have to shift the formation around to accommodate his style.

Braafheid will step in for Van der Wield without a doubt.

shyt just drives me nuts man, "The Dutch shocking the world and Brazil"... who is shocked? Will the world be "Shocked" when Germany bodies up on Messi and shuts down the Argentina midfield to win 2-1? You heard it here folks, Germany 2, Argentina 1 (ball glances off of DiMichaelis's woman-like locks through Neuers legs), Poldi and Mueller on the sheet for the Deutsch.

germany 3-2 argentina

oezil will get a ridiculous strike out of nowhere to make him even more expensive in the transfer window

messi will get one with a ridiculous run in the dying moments of the game down 3-1 so he goes out with at least one goal to his name

Oh, I concur. Anyone who has ever watched this tournament knows that the Dutch always field a strong team. That game was a clash of titans, not david/goliath. But, like hockey, ESPN doesn't care enough to get the story right.

Did I not tell you he wouldnt be the main player this WC?

you dont predict a goal off a set piece by DiMichaelis's flowing (held back by a wide, 80's style headband) locks? I see this one for sure. I just think the Germans are going to be very physical against Messi's slight stature and knock him off the ball too easily for him to make an impact. And Oezil, yeah, hes probably going to play his self off of the Arsenal transfer list and onto Barca's with a wonder strike...

we're gunners, c'mon, gotta support our boy :rofl2:

Being supportive and blind are two different things! lol

thats ok, hes building up his goal meter, just waiting to explode with a flurry of lasers and rifle shots all over the unfortunate team to face them in the next round.

Germany and Holland in the final, that is all I have to say :)

I swear to god, if this is true, I will file a personal complaint to FIFA.

Real Madrid ready to make £35m offer for Arsenal forward Robin van Persie - report - Goal.com

argentina>germany..2-1

ghana>uraguay..1-0

Never.

Uruguay and Ghana will go to penalties.

spain>paraguay..2-0

To me, all these predictions are a little specious. I mean, the randomness of who will win each match is what makes the tournament great. In my opinion, it could be any one of these teams that goes on to lose to Germany in the final. :tup:

someone needs to explain to me WTF that corner kick robben took was though. in like the 34th minute, he just taps it and runs away...WTF?

It is a trick corner, the commentator is right, people try it in the 10-15 year old leagues and they fail then, why would it work in the World Cup?

For the Argentina fans

:bowrofl:

by design, supposed to lull the defense/keeper into thinking that he was just leaving the ball off for someone else to take the corner while someone races onto it and bends a ball in to unmarked players. Oldest trick in the book, but it has worked in the past.

But it is a horrible play and only works maybe <0.1% of the time.
For a team of this caliber to try it is beyond me, I would punch a teammate if he tried that.

you're right, i remember now.

i know the trick corner, i'm just overwhelmed by a sense of WTF at somebody trying it at the world cup! :bowrofl:

haha..that trick rocks!

ok, starting a new bet:

Melo will be stabbed and killed outside a bar in Rio 13 days from now.

Now that's just wrong :shakes head:

that's a bit low red :facepalm: lol

Meloscobar

:iagree:

ok, changing stabbed to shot :ugh2:

Nope, Spain and Holland

Final score 3-1

I'm calling it, Spain Champions

Finals Germany > Ghana = 4-1

;)

lol @ you thinking Ghana will make the final

Wow he got knocked the F out!

Holy hell WHAT A GOL..... incredible.

What a goal!

If you keep posting like this, they're Ghana think Uraguay. I already do.

wow this game is nuts!!
