Hahaha After the southies lost to Holland and Germany I started the fourth of July celebrations early.
I knew Germany would kill Argentina's old defence. They really kicked the shit out of them, all of Germany's goals were made through great attacking plays. No luck involved in that win.
Paraguay kept it really close and could have won if they made that first penalty. Spain would have gotten frustrated after that and Paraguay just might have been able to hold them off. All great games all around.
But like Rocco I don't think anyone will be able to beat this German team. Even though Spain is good the Germans are going to kill them too. I also would like to see holland and Germany in the final like painter said. Uraguay getting lucky on the Dutch would be anti-climactic to me.
To borrow a cliche, this is building up towards quite a climax.
When or how do they figure out the third place teams?
I understand. So 3 out of 4 of those teams will finish in the top 3 spots. That's great; they all deserve it.
All 4 remaining games will be played at 20:30 CET.
But obviously only the number one spot matters. My fellow Dutchies have only played the final game twice (1974 and 1978) and lost both times. We got to the semi-finals in 1998 and lost to Brazil on penalty kicks.
So, if we manage to beat Uruguay on Tuesday it will be the first time in 32 (!!!) years that we will actually play the final.
Fingers crossed!

Yeah, the dutch looked pretty good today painter. Should be a good final.
yes, Painter ... that was a great game and outcome for you!!
I was just cheering on the good plays, passes and defence. What a great game ... and the goals - stellar!!
Tomorrow is Germany and Spain ... I'll be cheering on Germany!!

Really awesome goal from VanBronkhorst. Picked his head at just the right time and took advantage of the goalies position. Great game.
It's not the first time he has scored a goal like that. But to pull it off again in a big match at his age is awesome.
Let's hope they've got plenty still in store for Sunday!

As all my teams have been kicked out of the world cup I've decided to support Holland...
I'm predicting a 3-1 win over Spain for Germany today.
