Really wished the US would get further. Not that I thought they had a chance at winning the Cup, but it has been really cool to see people get excited about the sport. Apparently each US match drew more TV viewers than the most recent NBA and MLB final games, which is shocking awesome.

Brazil came out with a clear plan to be physical with James and it clearly took Colombia out of the game in the first half. A few of those tackles should have been yellow cards. Colombia simply came out to do the same in the second half. |

Better now than in the final.
I'm surprised Brazil has made it this far. I thought, for sure, that Colombia was going to knock them out. They've been playing horrible defense the whole tournament. Argentina better win tomorrow. Who wants to see an all-euro final? Not me. -Jose |

brazil and argentina have played similar. theyve both underachieved and just did enough to get the wins. nothing dominating from either and it was only a matter of time they'd be exposed to those who still believe any of those two would win. my t.v.'s getting turn off now. I want to live to see another day.

After US and Concacaf teams, Argentina is my team and I'm anxious because
as has been mentioned, they haven't been playing all that well and relying on a few individual plays to get them through.... and we all know how that worked out for Brazil. |

Like mentioned earlier, I completely agree Brazil and Argentina have both been lucky to not have played against a harder opponent earlier in the worldcup. They both would have been eliminated already. They both have suffered against a lot easier teams to barely win.
Hopefully argentina gets exposed today like brazil has. Same can be said about Colombia. Not sure why so many people believed they can beat brazil or even make it to that final they didnt beat anyone good prior to that match. Greece, ivory coast, japan, and Uruguay without suarez. Come on people open your eyes. |

Germany WILL win. Argentina will walk out of that match whipping the sweat off their foreheads cause they won't get the beating Brasil did, but they will lose by more then 1 goal and Maradona won't be in the stadium for them to make excuses about their performance.

Well, that was a pleasant surprise
Argentina, while still not great, played their best game of the cup so far Good thing I didn't make any bets before the game |

It was a tactical game, which is something that is difficult to appreciate or like,
I also would have liked more attacking and goals. They both went out (specially Argentina) to neutralize that other. Has worked for Italy in the past. |

Neymar is probably glad to not be a part of the embarrassment.
Not sure who to root for tomorrow. I like Messi as a player and want him to have a World Cup win in his career, but I prefer Germany as a team. |

I'm fairly certain if Germany plays like the did VS Brazil, Argentina has no chance. The ball movement, formations, just razor like precision they play with is seriously amazing. Makes me wonder how we only lost by one goal. Dudes are disciplined, organized, and imo completely unstoppable. I will be very shocked if they don't win by multiple goals

I don't what's worse, getting humiliated in a lopsided loss (Brazil) or
missing several scoring opportunities and end up losing by one goal. All in all the better team, emphasis on the word team, won. Congratulations Germany. |

I was rooting for Argentina, feel sorry for Messi, but you can't compare their loss to Brazil's. I thought it was a well played game between Germany and Argentina. My buddy called it and said this game would be a 1-0 win and I thought it was going to end up in penalties.

I was hoping Argentina will win this, but honestlly Germany played way better, clean and worked so hard for this. At the end of the day, im glad they won.

Seriously why they gave that shit to messi this is why I hate him so much unfortunately. He is a great player for sure, but not what they make him out to be at all. There is a handful of players that did more this cup then him. Honestly James Rod. or Muller should of got it.
I also didnt think the golden glove should of been the goalie for germany. I think Navas, howard or ochoa showed more skill since their defense was weak lol. |
