Frankly, basing upon the reactive game that Holland players have displayed tonight so far, I think Germany will eat them for breakfast if get to the final.

Think it will though ( as Brazilian ex player suggested) destroy the whole world cup , if in future all the players we see here play in the "premiership "

I'm falling asleep all ready

Must be very difficult to play in rain. Both teams are losing it a bit now.

Hm, you have a point there.

Over 90 mins and no goal from either side. It is getting annoying now.

If it ends up resorting to penalties, it won't be that exciting, even when people would go "hurrah, hurrah!". They would've had a full match to play without any goal FFS.

Kuyt broke one Arg's jaw with his shoulder alone!

I think Arg's manager is a bit too enthusiastic. He needs to calm down before his head spins again.

So, that was that.

Sorry for Holland, congrats to Arg.

Moving on, Brazil may just thrash Holland for 3rd place next.

Penalties are a pretty poor way to decide the winner of a team TBH, who has the better goal keeper shouldn't be the deciding factor.

My thoughts exactly. Hardly a team effort with the goalie to take the pressure and a flack on his tod! What a lonely place to be; for a team sport.

Oh, really??? I didn't know that!

What It looks from where I usually sit is that there's no one else from his team to defend striker's efforts, striker has no struggle to face but the goalie as a barrier. Not enough team effort, that.

I need to change my position and sit in the arm chair next time.

I dig him.

He's got character - he's quite the nut.

TH, Luiz being his characterful self again.

Do you reckon if he had his all head cut off he'd lose his evident mojo - much like the Samson and Delilah parable.

With his help it could easily be 5, 1 by the end.
