World Cup 2014.

[Priok]

I don't really like it when they go into the shootout, but it was still pretty good. the final should be very good too

[Dare]

Yes Argentina! Great game. Robben played amazingly... he seems to get better as he ages.

Actually noone on Netherlands team played an impressive match. Not even Robben who had the only big chance to score.
Netherlands played much better in matches before on the World cup. So, I guess, Argentina deserves it.

I never said Argentina deserved it, and also it's not just about having big chances. It's about making the runs, being in the right position, getting the ball back, things like that are the things that made him amazing in the match. He still was really good in the World Cup overall. Anyway, good luck to Argentina!

I think the upcoming match between Argentina and Germany will be tight. Your opinions?

[Soraboy]

In the last years we were always kicked out of the tournament, and never had any chances against our enemies in the finals we played. Messi didn't played good against the Netherlands because he was getting blocked by the young defence of the netherlands. The german defence got more, much more quality than the defence of the netherlands. If the netherlands can control the beasty attack of Argentinia, Germany can also control it. Theres no defence in the world, anyone could compare with the german defence. Now, let's take a look at the attack of germany. Every single player of our attack is just amazing and like the defence, not comparable. I don't see any problems for our attack when they gotta score against the defence of Argentinia. We had much harder games this tournament. All experts in TV are saying that it will be hard for Germany to play against the Argentinian soul. Seems like all forgot how often we failed in a final or in a semi-final. Since 2002 the germans getting kicked out of the tournament, one round before reaching their target they worked for. We deserve it and we will win it.

It's not as simple as you make it out to be. Argentina have won their games by a margin on 1 for a reason. Defensively, they have been really organized. Robbem only had one decent chance, and Mascherano cleaned that mess up quickly. Meanwhile, it seems that Hummels might not play. If this is the case, Mertesacker will step in. Mertesacker lacks pace and he has been prone to mistakes in this tournament. He will be the weak link in that defense. Exploit his weakness with the pace of Lavezzi. Now, the midfield will be key this game. Mascherano vs German midfield, pretty much. He will be the key to Argentina's success, I believe. But yea, Argentina won't be that easy to break down, they have been so tactically organized. They lack flair, but who needs that when you have the little magician on your team? Also, who have you played that are better than Argentina, lol. MAYBE France and you only won by a goal. Everyone else you've played are inferior to Argentina, so you saying that you've played harder opponents is a joke.

Argentinia can play much better, they dont show off their real class this worldcup. France was much better than them imo. Surely Argentinia normally is better with their superstars but as I said, they dont show off their real class in this tournament. You talk to much of Mascherano, we got Schweinsteiger and Khedira which got more quality than your sweet Mascherano you are talking of. Seriously you cannot compare Mascherano with the german midfield. its just retarted to think that he could be a key against Germany. One person rarely playout the full german midfield, and if someone do it, its not Mascherano. Mertesacker didnt failed this tournament he was the leading person against Algeria, without him we would have failed.

Theres no defence in the world, anyone could compare with the german defence.

dreamer, the goalkeeper is probably the only player who is decent in the defense.

Yes here we go again the only player, its about the teamwork. And when I say defence I also mean Khedira from Real Madrid and Schweinsteiger from Bayern München aswell. All good players on their own, Löw made this team hungry on the worldcup title. Imo best defence with the best teamwork.

Hm, i don't see good teamwork either and Khedira is trash but thats just my opinion. The games against Ghana and Algeria showed it well how "good" the german defense is. Chile showed good teamwork and defense even though they don't have the greatest players .

You clearly didn't watch Argentina vs Netherlands, or any other Argentina match for that matter. Mascherano has been bossing it in the midfield for Argentina. It's not retarded, because there's more to it than "outplaying". It's called organizing the players around you, providing cover for the backline, etc, etc. Ghana split open the defense you seem to praise so much. Algeria held Germany for 120 minutes through tactics and organization. You're even lucky Algeria didn't kill you on several deadly counterattacks, lmao. Guess what, Algeria isn't Argentina. Argentina will finish off counterattacks.
Now, I'm not saying Argenina is gonna win, but you made it sound way too easy and didn't give credit where it's due. I guess that's what happens when you're speaking whilst being blinded by bias. ^_^

[Pedroh]

the new red socks will win this series i hope, maybe is thet can mae their free throws. stupid lebron never passes it to brady.

[Soraboy]

Argentinia and Netherlands was a based on the tactics given by the coaches of both teams, like 2006. One of the most boring games ever. Congratulations, Argentinia was waiting in their own half and Netherlands aswell. We will see how your sweet Mascherano will be the King in midfield lmao. By the way, I never said it will be an easy game for the germans. Please lets just wait till the match will happen.

Stop acting as if I'm licking Mascherano's ass or something, lol. I simply am giving credit where it's due. And now I know for sure that you didn't watch Argentina vs Netherlands, because both teams did not sit in their own half, lmfao. At least TRY to have a good argument and don't just throw random shit around. But sure, let's just wait for the match to happen. It's gonna be a good final, either way.

Argentina can play much better

I mean, do they really need to? They have been facing pretty mediocre teams this tournament, but then again Netherlands and Belgium aren't mediocre. They have proven that they can defeat stronger teams in the tournament even when they're not at their best. Surely in the finals they will bump their game up a bit since they really want to win this and they have the players required to do it. That's why they're in the finals in the world place.

France was much better than them imo

I can agree with you in some aspects. France's attacking side is really strong (Benzema, Griezman, Remy, Giroud etc.) but so is Argentina's. France's midfield is pretty solid as well (Matuidi, Pogba, Cabaye etc.), but so is Argentina's (Mascherano, Di Maria Gago etc.) France's defense has some really good players as well (Varane, who is young but still is really good, Sakho, Koscielny, Debuchy and their goalkeeper Lloris.) On the other hand, Argentina have an average defence but with some alright players. Zabaleta (who is one of the best right-backs in the world behind Lahm and some others, Garay and their goalkeeper Romero.) To be honest, both teams are pretty much the same in terms of balance, maybe France's defense is a little bit better, but then again arguably Argentina's attack is better by quite a margin as well.

You talk to much of Mascherano, we got Schweinsteiger and Khedira which got more quality than your sweet Mascherano you are talking of. Seriously you cannot compare Mascherano with the german midfield.

Not just Mascherano. Di Maria and Pastore are part of the Argentine midfield as well. Di Maria as always is a world class player who can score, assist and can do pretty much anything a midfielder should be able to do apart from heading which isn't so important in his case. Pastore is not much of a goalscorer, but he is a playmaker, and then Mascherano, I don't really need to tell you anything about him.

Anyway, Good luck to Argentina and Germany in the finals. Predictions?
