2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[RTC]

The one against Sneijder? Or the one Martins Indi did on Messi directly afterwards? Both worthy of a yellow card, the one on Sneijder was an obvious one. By letting stuff like that pass without a booking, the ref is asking for trouble later in the match ...

Actually neither, it was when Vlaar caught an Argentinian in the head accidentally.

 

[Rotam]

I don't agree that Argentina is all about Messi, Di Maria have shown time and again this World Cup he's an important player.

Van Gaal really does bear a resemblance to Grumpy Cat.

Has there been a real scoring chance so far?

No huge scares, although Argentina have put on a fair amount of offence.

Sitting in an airport bar, waiting for friends to land, watching this game. Good stuff!

 

[Night Prowler]

Holy crap, this game is so boring. Put on David Luiz for Garay and Marcelo for Rojo to make the game more interesting

Ah, that one. Luckily neither got really hurt, although the Argentinian (Mascherano) looked quite dizzy immediately afterwards.

Both teams will be happy with their defensive performance so far. Messi and Robben have been more or less taken out of the game. But now the defenders have to do that for 30 more minutes ...

 

[Night Prowler]

Lamela didn't die for this.

C'mon Netherlands!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Argentina got close a couple of times there, but we have penalties. Let's see if Cillessen can save some penalties for a change.

 

[RTC]

And it just about looks like game over.

God. Dammit. This is like Spain in 2010 all over again. Boring as fuck style.

Save us guys:

 

[RTC]

Feel bad for Holland, they've been the better side throughout the tournament. Ahh well, the final should bring enough doubt anyway.

 

[LooseCannon]

What a boring, horrible game, and a boring, horrible ending. The Netherlands should have been attacking, but they chose to defend.

This game was the Dutch's to lose, and boy, did they lose it in style.

 

[Perun]

So it's Germany vs Messi in the finals.

 

[Rotam]

I missed the second finalist.

But, i'm sorry, Netherlands didn't play very well tonight. Argentina didn't have a great game too, but overall i think they did a little more. So, Congratulations.

Germany will win the 4th Cup.

 

[The Flash]

Argentina might be the biggest non-deserving finalist in World Cup history. They played like shit all tournament long.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Expect Germany to do Argentina properly. Messi was sufficient for them to win so far. Against Netherlands it wasn't enough and they had to go through penalties. Against Germany ... well. I am sure Germany have the capacity to both keep Messi out of the game and actually play attacking football.

 

[LooseCannon]

It will be a good game. They will feint to the north, and then Muller will move through the Ardennes. Beware Bastian Schweinsteiger - the Ghost Division Player. As long as they can get it going early, they'll roll to an easy win.
