Disagree with this one. Neymar has already outscored Rivaldo in the national team. A different type of player, but his skillset is even greater than Rivaldo.
Well I have to put it this way. Van Gaal is an asshole and Krul was an asshole as well. Therefore I am rooting for Argentina. But I think the Netherlands will win ^^
Well Lio... this is it, bud... this is the time where the great shine... today and maybe Sunday we'll see what you're made of... I wish you luck... and I'll be rooting for you(even though I'll have to put up with the arrogance later on). But somehow I'll manage... Go get them.
Right, they are this year's 1974 Holland. Best team no doubt. Especially when they are clicking, like against Portugal and Brazil. Come to think of it, 11-1 combined against the Portuguese speaking countries. Good thing we speak Spanish.

I see a lot of Oranje supporting Germany. I have German/Austrian roots back to my grandparents side, but I'll only support one team. It's been a long frustrating wait, so I don't really care what the egomaniacs, trolls, armchair pundits or band wagon glory hunters have to say. We have a good team that has worked hard for two years, don't underestimate them.
Lavezzi will most likely start, and Aguero should be available off the bench. The rest is probably correct.
I like this formation, but im shocked about aguero? dont think he is starting, lavezzi instead of him, aguero as a super sub in 2nd half
in football there is karma. every team who scraps by luckily will get theirs. brazil got theirs. it is now argentina who will get theirs. as i originally predicted, argentina will lose and then lose to brazil in the 3rd place match.
I think this match up will be much better for the neutral than the other semi. Here you have two teams that are sort of similar with some of the best close ball control on the planet. Both sides have players that can drag 3 defenders and change a match with something extraordinary. I expect this to be a joy to watch with it all going down to the wire and then something dramatic. I would not like to predict a winner but I know that there is one footballer that can make a team of world class players look very ordinary and he is in this match on both sides of the ball!
Actually I think Netherlands naturally plays the type of game that can beat Germany. Shame for you that have to play us first.
