Semi final thread

[Saints1]

A few days away yet but we might as well get the ball rolling.

Germany - Spain
Holland - Uruguay

Two fantastic games there.

 

[Teh Mite]

Germany and Holland for the final.

Holland to finally win it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Germany should smash spain,
Holland/Germany final for me, but with Germany winning the cup

Holland vs Uruguay looks to be a forgone conclusion but I don't think it will be as easy as most people think. Uruguay have got this far for a reason. They are solid at the back and, in Forlan, have one of the best players in the Tournament. Having Saurez suspended is a big blow but Abreu is a good substitute. To win they need to exploit the flanks, to pass the Dutchie on the left hand side (Sorry about that.) but I think Holland will edge it. 2-1



Germany vs Spain is the tougher, and potentially, the better of the two semis. Germany will go in as favourites after impressing so far and any team that puts 4 past Argentina is a side to be afraid of. Spain have looked good in the passing but when it comes to the killer edge they have relied on David Villa and if Villa has a poor game then it's hard to see them getting the goals to win. Germany to win 2-0

I'd love Uruguay to beat Holland.
I have nothing against Holland, but i can't help routing for the underdogs

 

[Saints1]

Uruguay winning is anything but impossible and would in fact not surprise me. The Dutch have a recent history of falling apart on the big occasions. I am still waiting for Jaap Stam's penalty from Euro 2000 in that semi final shoot out to come back down out of orbit.

Lol at anyone underestimating Spain. They choke the life out of any team they play. Their passing is superb. It's like the other teams just crack because they cant seem to get the ball, and eventually make a mistake which the Spanish capitalize on. They have BY FAR the best players in the tournament as well in my opinion.

Germany are everybody's favorite now, but i can't help but see them fall against the spanish. Especially as Meuller is not playing. Spain just need to avoid that deadly counter.

The cheaters will get beaten by the Netherlands, no doubts there.

Final prediction: Spain vs Netherlands. With Spain to win their first ever World Cup.

 

[Jer1cho]

He has not been wrong yet...

 

[Saints1]

That Octopus rules.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No, Paul, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn, there goes my potential £140 winnings

 

[Saints1]

He's been wrong before - he picked Germany to win Euro 2008.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's got two wrong since 2008, i think,
Let's just hope it's three by tomorrow night

 

[Jer1cho]

Man i hate Germany. I hope spain suddenly click and cream them. My boss is German and he can't stop popping his head into my studio to keep reminding me about how ze germans vil vin ze ***al.

Come on Spain!

 

[Saints1]

Class story.

 

[Jer1cho]

Yeah! Kinda puts into perspective how certain fans make you hate certain teams. Although uruguay i hate now as well because of certain players, not so much the fans!

Don't hate the player, hate the game haha. Uruguay is performing amazingly well this World Cup and tonight's match will be difficult to watch for me. My home country Holland against my favorite country ever since I was a little boy. Doesn't matter who wins.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That bicycle kick to the face was immense!

Also, i hate Robben



EDIT: Both goals been crackers so far!

Needed saying. I reckon that's a good call.

Except I don't really watch this stuff so don't know if Uruguay won or lost.

ps. Jericho - your avatar is a gay porn star kissing the big one.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Congrats to Holland!

Didn't see most of the second half, i hear there was something about an offside goal?

 

[SelimNiai]

The 2nd one had a hint. Sneidjer shot for goal, Van Persie went to kick it, missed and the ball went in and the goal stood. I must say I thought Van Persie was level so I have no issues with it.
