Telling you dudes, them Euros came to play.
I liked how Argentina looked defensively, but they lost the 1 other dude on offense that seemed to be able to do stuff. Now they just got Messi. I think it will be a 2-1 Dutch win.
i got the other way around, 2-1 argentina, i think it will be close aswell. and i got argentina beating germany 3-2

Did I just hear them, Booing the Brasil side ...
I've been watching Brasil play Faithfully, since I attended my first match in '94 in Cali.
I have seen the side hoist 2 World Cups since then, as well as, lose to France 3-0, in
'98.
Through the ups and downs of the past 20 years, I have NEVER, seen them play SO
badly on defense, while looking totally Shell Shocked. No matter what they do in the
2nd half, this has been an Annihilation on Germany's part, of Epic proportions.
Reminds me of our SB, against The Ravens

Really? Even without that dude they lost?
I don't get why people say the Dutch haven't been impressive. Yeah it was close against Costa Rica on the scoreboard, but the Dutch had like a billion scoring chances. Game could have easily been a 3-0 Dutch win.

i think the dutch have been getting lucky in my opinion. Mexico should have beat them without that epic collapse at the end by them, and yes costa rica was the inferior team they should have handled but didn't. overated me thinks.

easy to say after the fact knowing they didnt win and no showed and being a canadian who probably doesnt like russia. i'm just saying the pressure is comparable.

And of course no T. Silva, their best defender.

Doesn't look like RVP will play....which could be somewhat of a blessing since he's done nothing since the first 2 games. Huntelaar is fresh. Plus, the Dutch are cautiously optimistic that De Jong will play....one of the better holding MFers left in the tourney and is sorely needed against Messi.
We shall see. I think its a toss-up even though the consensus is saying Argentina.
