Germany is going to have to play without Müller now though, which all kinds of bullshit. That is the only thing that can stop Germany winning it all, in my opinion.
I would agree, if Klose wasn't on such good form. The guy is one goal from equalling Ronaldo's World Cup goal scoring tally, and with two games left and Mueller out, I'm pretty sure he can bang in a few more to beat it.
Wait, I thought Müller would play the final if they make it, no?
e:
or rather for sure has the final or 3rd place game where he can play?
Sanguinary on
"Und... under control? You're grabbing a fucking bazooka, you dumbass"
"I don't even bother to use my brain any more! There's nothing left in it"
Mueller will only be out for the semi... he'll play the final/3rd place match. I was more pointing out that with Mueller out for the next match, Klose becomes more of the focus up top, and you'de have to be pretty confident that he'll match or beat Ronaldo's record.
My uncle called and whinged until I had to take the bet of Spain winning the whole thing while he gloated and took Germany to win. So... I'm out $20. Bah.
Watch the Netherlands win
Watch them DIVE DIVE DIVE.

This octopus is an EU red herring! Since 1996 I have been publicizing my theory that the EU fixes certain sporting events to boost morale for key EU States. In 1998 I predicted a French World Cup win to bounce France into the Euro. In 2006 Italy was close to leaving the Euro. I predicted (in the Letters Pages of the Southampton Daily Echo 8th July) that Italy would win on penalties (I’ve posted this letter separately). This year German morale has collapsed. Germans are tired of supporting the failing Euro and Germany is close to leaving. The whole future of the Euro and the EU hinges on a German victory. The stakes are enormous! To stop Germany leaving the Euro, the EU must boost German morale URGENTLY. Germany MUST win. There is no other outcome. But the real tragedy is that when Germany is holding the World Cup aloft for the whole German nation to see, you won’t believe a word of this. File it for future contemplation!

With four games to go, Spain/Paraguay is without question the game of the tournament. That was an epic.
The possible finals, in my order of preference:
1. Netherlands over Spain
2. Netherlands over Germany
3. Spain over Netherlands
4. Spain over Uruguay
5. Uruguay over Spain
6. Germany over Netherlands
7. Uruguay over Germany
8. Germany over Uruguay

Yeah, if I knew with total absolute certainty Germany were going to win the world cup before it began for example I'd be down to a betting shop making the largest legal bet I could.

o_O You'd actually put the Spain/Paraguay game above the Netherlands/Brazil game? Seriously? Stop writing your book about football clubs because you are an embarrassment to this sport and have no place in writing a book about such a hallowed sport.
Also, there's really only one possible final: Germany vs Someone Else with Germany winning.

Hey now. Netherlands-Brazil was an awful game. Both are defensive teams full of writhers and moaners. If it wasn't a game of two big names, that would be more obvious.

While I think both games were very exciting, I can understand why someone would say that the Spain/Paraguay game was better to watch. There is no reason to berate someone for having an opinion.

Watching the Uruguay v Ghana replay and man, even knowing the ending I was getting knots toward the end. Sad Ghana went out, but what an ending. Suarez literally taking one for the team, the gutwrenching penalties...
Jesus, that chip in for the last penalty. That hurts.
I was gone this weekend, so I missed the Germany and Spain games. Looks like I missed a bunch too. Germany has definitely found its mojo, they look like they can just demolish any team. But Spain can still score at any moment as long as Torres isnt playing. That semi should be fantastic. Here's hoping for Spain over Germany, COME ON PSYCHIC OCTOPUS!!!
And in what language does Klose translate into "Always scores for Germany, always"??? Cause seriously, the guy is just money in the World Cup for ze Germans.
It feels so much better to be an Australian supporter now than it did when we first lost. I mean we did better than Argentina and the same as England with only 10 men. Sounds alright to me.

It still hurts that had one Ghanaian shot been a few inches either to the left or the right we'd have likely gone through to at least the second round.

The reason I put Spain/Paraguay above Netherlands/Brazil was because I actually saw the entirety of it. Netherlands/Brazil, I had just woken up and was drifting in and out of sleep over the course of the second half.
Oh am I glad there are no more of those 9 AM starts.

Lucky you. Games have been on at 9:30. 12. and 4:30 overnight. So if you wanted to watch all three you had to find time to sleep during the workday. Now we have to get up at the awkward time of 4:30 in the morning.
Germany has played totaalvoetball this whole tournament. Holland has eeked out victory after victory based on "luck" and "perseverance". Sound familiar?
Germany might not waltz over Spain that easily, but will win in the end ... and will rip apart whoever comes out of the other semi. I would absolutely love to have the Dutch in the finals, just so we could stick it to them ... again.
There's a small vibration in my air conditioning which sounds like a vuvuzela and I thought I missed a game when I woke up.

Wait, I thought Müller would play the final if they make it, no?
e:
or rather for sure has the final or 3rd place game where he can play?

But I can honestly say, I would have only got one right, and didn't get the score right. So one point? That's nothing.

Uruguay are surprisingly going to eek out a well played 2-1 victory and Germany will beat Spain 3-1 orr 3-2.
Then Germany win the final.
