Lots of matches going on. Brazil is hanging by a thread of a hair. Maybe Colombia will do the trick. Who will be the champion this time?
Germany
At this point, I have no clue. Before the tournament started, I thought if Argentina manages to form their good individual players into a team, they should be a favorite, but I have been underwhelmed by them in all their games.
the team that really will be interesting to watch is the Netherlands, and I would not mind if they won. They always had very good teams, especially when considering the size of the country, and this year they have a coach with a concept and excellent players (and no players who spit at other people...).
I'm still laughing about the spit comment, Stefan! I guess the Dutch deserve more that anybody to be world cup champions based on what they did in the past (excluding the spitting) and what they are doing now too.
This is one of those games where people try to get a ball into a net right?
Well, i can say that despite you have take us out in 2010, i was hoping you won it at that time instead of Spain. Nothing against the Spainards, but because of what you have done in the past world cups.

I guess people in Brazil just put way too much importance in it. Since it is happening here they feel the weight of the world is on their shoulders. I was reading these last days Thiago Silva being critized because he asked to be the last one to do the penalty kick series against Chile as he wasn't feeling confident at that time. In my book, i would always choose a player that would come in truth and say something like that in order to help that group, but here in Brazil this crazy histeria of we must win the cup no matter what tend to be harsh on the guy. If he were that bad, he wouldn't be playing first for Milan and now for PSG. But, Thiago Silva aside, that is just example of why i think this players of today are so emotional: they think that because they are playing home, they must bring this one and this are making them weaker.
I thought this was like the Winston Cup without the pretty girls...
