Phew! good game at the end, and yeah crazy thoughts when goalkeeper changed but got the result so fair play...been a great tournament so far.
 
Damn... Those Argentinians really didn't want to play... One fantastic goal and then they just kept buying themselves some time. Bad luck for Di Maria, always sad to see such great players go. The Belgians could have won, but they didn't. Anyway, two rather dull games yesterday.

Sooo... I guess it's "hup Holland" from now on :p

Two South American teams and two European teams in the half final. Perhaps, two European teams in the final ?

Yep am going for a Germany v Holland final.....Holland to win........so now ive said that, it will probably be Brazil v Argentina :D
 
I'm going to stick my neck out and bet for Germany-Netherlands in the final. A repetition of the 1974 final. It's about time a European team win in South America...
As against France the Germans have the psychological advantage on the Dutch, but they don't have 'der Bomber' this time... Still it will be enough and Germany can celebrate their 4th World Cup title.
An acknowledgement also to the fact that the German league, the Bundesliga, is currently the best league in the World, imho.

I would like also Germany - Holland in the final, but Cody does not want, he said that FIFA is corrupt

:D

FIFA would not like that - they've planned it so that Argentina play Brasil in the final.

Yes, the Germans have a Muller, but this is not the same

:p
 
The greatest player never to play at a World Cup, and probably the greatest player ever - Alfredo Di Stefano has died.
 
That is sad news. :(

However, in my opinion, the greatest player never to play at a World Cup was George Best (also deceased).
 
BEST. I think he means?

Now there is a player then could play in "slippers"..... head the soggy leather round thing and not fall over even after a heavy "training session" the night before.

Quite. The greatest player can only be the best

:)

Ah right - sorry, bit slow on the uptake today. :eek:

I was lucky enough to see him play live once. It was a charity friendly between my local senior & junior team. As I recall, he was being given day release from prison to do it... a copper arrived with him in handcuffs, and then put him back into cuffs after the game.

Troubled man. Great footballer.

It is easier for me who is French. When I read the word " Best ", I translate immediately by "Meilleur" (in french) ---- Pelé said that Best was the best player he has seen play. In 2000, Diego Maradona also said that George Best is his idol. ---- George Best has demonstrated a technique, a liveliness and a sense of dribbling, exceptional ----

On one of the wreaths of flowers laid on the coffin of Best, was written "Maradona Good, Pele Better, George Best" ;)
