Brasil vs Nederland! Nice quarterfinal. With all respect for earlier opponents this is an opponent with which it will be clear how good we really are. And I have a feeling that if we win (please read the IF part carefully) we will win the tournament. I am so looking forward to that game! Both teams haven't performed at the max of their possibilities. I mean, both teams have huge attacking potential. We have a weaker defense, but our 2 defensive midfielders are top of the bill. Aahhh, great, great, great!

I should hope so, last 2 World Cups I watched Brasil VS. Netehrlands after the Top 16, Brasil won and made it to the finals. But it's gonna be one heck of a tough game, our defense is AMAZING, but has been sleeping on the job due to weak opponents. And we also have an injured star and a sleeping one (seriously, what's wrong with Robinho?).

But this is what the fun is all about. Again, with all respect to other countries, and how fun it is to have a surprise act, these games are so intense. Argentina-Germany, Germany-England, Spain-Portugal, Holland-Brasil....LOVE IT. Again, so looking forward to the match friday.

Spain's passing game was sweet, and every time it looked like the Portuguese were about to break down the defense, someone saved them.

My predictions (perhaps somewhat ambitious)

Semi Finals
Brazil vs Urugauy
Germany vs Spain

Final
Brazil vs Germany

Winners
Germany

Why will Germany win? Four years ago Australia lost to Italy and were knocked out of the world cup ... this time Australia were effectively knocked out of the World Cup in their first game against Germany. That's my reason and i am sticking to it. (Perhaps it also has something to do with my bias to my distant German heritage).

I'm not conviced about the football Brazil have been showing. The "big stars" like Robinho and Kaka aren't playing near of what they could, specially Kaka (i'm not a big fan of Robinho). The best we have is the defenders... Lucio for me is showing the best football in Brazil's team. Anyway i hope they got better cause they will probably need it to win against Holland, which seems to have a great team. I watched two games of them and i like what i saw. A well organized team, with skilled players.

But the match i REALLY WANT to see is Argentina X Germany, for me two of the best teams of WC. Argentina doesn't have an awesome defense but they rock from midfield on and Germany even not having a player like Messi have many good players and really "play togheter".

I'm hoping Paraguai and Uruguai can make it too (Go South America!) and Argentina...well... i don't like them very much ;)

I was wondering how the people of Brasil look at the match, not only the Brasilians here, but also in the press.
Here, we are aware of the potential of Brasil. Some say we will never make it, that it will be a pretty boring game with both team lurking for victory. Both teams rely on the organisation, and are like sharks, waiting for the kill. Others say we will win, simply because we are for once the underdog and some people seem to underestimate us. Romario said just to eliminate Robben en Sneijder, and then Brasil is set. Well, then they could be in for a surprise and to add to that, that is the strength of those 2 players, they are hard to stop. Inter was having 2-3 man on Robben in the final of the Champions League, but they needed that. Due to Bayerns lack of Ribery that moment, it worked. But we have other talented players as well.
Like I said, we both have to perform better than we have done, in order to win, but I really think the chances for either team to win is like 50/50/

Oh man, did I mention already that I am sooooooooooo looking forward to this game? I have borrowed a beamer, bought all kinds of meat for the BBQ, so I am set. BBQ is so good, if we lose, the taste of meat will give us relief and when we win it even tastes better!

Well that was money stupid spent. Why would you bet on Brasil...does it have anything to do with Van Persie, being a Gunner? If you are betting, look at the odds. Probably you will win less if Brasil wins than if Holland wins, fair enough. But looking at the teams, you should have to bet Holland, cause they rule :lol:. And so this info could have gotten you a lot of money....

Italy also won many, but look how they lost... being succesful in the past doesn't mean much.
