Schurrle!

Schurrle x2!

Well, our 1-0 loss to Germany looks pretty good right now

[Inqui]

I love how it's not even over yet and Google's logged Germany advancing. Not that you can argue with it, but it's just funny.

What's the worst loss in Brazil history?

Neymar and Thiago Silva, clearly.  

[rmw10]

Well, at least they didn't get shut out.

Zing!

One step closer to my prediction being right. Germany has got this.

After the Brazil spanking, Troy Polamalu tweets, "Looks like we'll still be the only ones with 6 world futbol championships." I actually thought that was kinda funny.

 

Robin van Persie has a stomach virus, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Dutch!

[T3hRaven]

Watching the game again.  Oh prophetic Steve McManaman, saying right before Müller scores the first goal that Germany was going to tear them up if they didn't tighten up defensively.

 

LOL "They're gonna go down by a lot more if they continue like this."

Today is Netherlands vs. Argentina.  I shall await the results with baited breath.

Only 1 more game after this. This month of soccer has been a good one

2 more actually.  The 3rd place game and I think there's some important one on Sunday - the championship maybe?

Ah yes how could I forget that 3rd place game lol

[PolishRifle]

This game has been really tense so far. A very even match-up. First one to score might actually take it.

[52520Andrew]

Huge defensive play there

[rmw10]

Hello more free soccer

[52520Andrew]

Yet another Extra Time game, I can't complain

[52520Andrew]

RVP subbed out

[rmw10]

I wonder if Dirk Kuyt ever wakes up in the morning and says to himself "Wow, I look like this?"

[52520Andrew]

Time for PKs

[rmw10]

Argentina prevails

[52520Andrew]

Argentina vs. Germany

[PolishRifle]

Congrats to Argentina. Good luck against Germany.

[PolishRifle]

Argentina prevails

[T3hRaven]

The Dutch missed their chances, and PKs are kind of a crapshoot.

[Gordo52]

Aaaaaaaand Germany scores again!

[T3hRaven]

Aaaaaaaand Germany scores again!

 

I was going to use one of the two gifs I have queued up for either outcome, but I must save it.

[Ed_Reed20]

Argentina are a resilient group but I can't see them stopping Germany. 

 

On another note, Sanchez and Debuchy look to be wrapped up and and Remy should be next. If Arsene can secure a quality holding midfielder, some cover for Mertesacker and Kosh and a backup goalie, it'll be the perfect summer transfer window. 

[FerrariFan87]

Gonna be cheering hard for Messi and Argentina, though I don't see how Germany can be denied...

I think the Germans will win this one. To be honest, with the amount of talent they had on that team over the years, it's long overdue. I'll be cheering for Argentina, though. Gotta love the underdog. Also, living in Germany, I just want to see the reaction in this country, if they lose. Everyone is soooo sure they'll win.
