Football. Football will win. (By football I mean soccer)
I feel like Brazil might be a touch demotivated after their absolute destruction last night...
Oh don't be too sure. They'll be desperate to claim they "restored pride" or what have you. Even if they squeak a win on penalties they'll still claim that.
I feel that both Brazil and Argentina have a sense of entitlement to win and quite frankly I enjoy when their fans get their hearts crushed, which is laughable anyway because your team already won 3+ times and it's just a smurfing game. I hope Germany wrecks them tomorrow. And yeah, this game was boring as smurf. Americans suck at soccer, but at least they can put on a show. This was terrible and so was yesterday's game.
Of course, they will spin it in their favour however they can.
It will be an interesting weekend, hopefully.
"Rain falling heavily from the darkened skies. I say rain, but it could be the tears of a heartbroken nation." - Ian Darke commenting during the Holland v Argentina game as it started raining.
Easily the best part of the game.
what kind of nation should we build? a good nation? a nation of plenty? a nation of muffled joy?
How poetic.
Football one step closer to being saved.
Come on Argentina! Let's win one for beautiful football!
The final will be one time that Paul's Sig will be irrelevant. Germany will win, I assure you. If they don't, feel free to change my Sig to anything for 4 years until the next tournament.
That's how sure I am.
I think I called Argentina as my final pick, so I'm sticking with that.
The World Cup desperately needed Zlatan.![]()
As the man himself said before the Portugal v Sweden playoff, it needs Zlatan more than it needs Ronaldo.
I hope NL beat Brazil, but in reality I think the extra day of rest for Brazil along with the fact it was a 120 minute match for the NL guys will mean that the Brazilians have far more energy and will beat the tired-legged Dutch.
I really really hope Germany win the cup, though, because Argentina haven't exactly done much to show that they deserve it. Germany have.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
