FIFA World Cup 2014

Posted by: Chris Dolan on 18 May 2014

Atletico Madrid win La Liga and Arsenal sneak the FA Cup. Citeh's money taints the Premiership - sadly.

 

So who is going to win the FIFA World Cup (sponsored by McDonalds). Is Suarez is going be the top scorer - or would he fail to score with Jordan? Eddie that is 

 

Well it's being held in Brazil - the smell up coffee and wake - imho - what do you guys think?

Just about to tune into tonight's semi-final.  Without Neymar I think Brazil are going to have to work more closely as a team than they have since the tournament began. Do that and they will beat the Germans.  Any sloppiness and Germany will exploit it.  I'd like to see the hosts reach the final but I never bet against Germany.  So I predict Germany to win by the odd goal: 2-1.

Brazil playing far too openly in the first 10 mins. Didn't read the danger signs and now Germany has taken the lead.  Brazil need to get disciplined quickly or Germany will pick them off and the game will be over.

Brazil not learning. Germany now 3-0 up.  This might be all over after just 25mins. When was the last time Germany lost a three-goal lead?

Against Sweden 2012. 4:4 after a 4:0 lead for Germany.

Didn't know that, jfritzen.  Was it a competitive game or a friendly?

If there were ever a team you wouldn't want to fall apart against, it's Lowe's Germany. 5-0 now, the Germans looking comfortable, intelligent and utterly ruthless against a shambolic Brazilian side.

Agreed. Germany not showing the remotest sign of sitting back on their unassailable lead. They look like they want to utterly humiliate their hosts.

I know the Brazilians are exceptionally poor, but the Germans are really, really, really good. They are really well organised but playing with utter fluidity and freedom. Just brilliant football from Germany, much as it pains me to say it.

It was an official qualification game for this World Cup. It was a scary experience and if the match had lasted any longer they would even have lost. But this time I don't think this is going to happen again.

I predict another 2 at this rate.

I do, but never in my life I would have expected this and it's a bit scary too.
