Im hoping to catch most of the games but work gets in the way. As much as I would love the USA win im going to be slightly more realistic and pick 1st Germany 2nd Spain 3rd USA.
Sorry I dont have the Netherlands moving out of their group. :P

Well this American has played football most of his life and is a U.S.S.F. certified referee, so I know more than your average 'Muriacan. ;) You have a good team its just I think facing Spain again for their first game and if they lose will really shake them and give Chile an opening to score more points and move on with Spain. Of course who knows what will really happen. I have Spain and Germany in the finals with Germany wining.

I'm seeing a lot of people who lost bets and shaved their heads clean. Idiots. This is why I don't follow soccer. :p

Another win, but a hard one. 0-0 in game time, 0-0 in extra time, so a win after penalty's.
Next up is the half final match against Argentina.

Can't believe Germany blew out Brazil 7-1, especially since I didn't expect the score to be that high, although Brazil was missing quite a few people from their team that could have made the score closer had they been playing in the game.

They only mist Silva and Neymar, but they where key players for Brazil. The pressure was to high for Brazil and Germany took advantage of that. But 7-1 was a bit much.
Will it be a european final 8)

The 7-1 surprised me considering I usually call winner to the first team who scores in this "exciting' sport and am right 70% of the time. I am surprised how far the U.S. got although they seemed to just give up in the second half of the Belgium game, like they ran out of gatorade or something.

7-1 suprised everyone. Sometimes you have those games were most what you call chance's go in. Same goes for the Holland against Spain match.
But Germany will be the next World Champion. They play the best games at the end of the tournament. And Messi can't play a good game in his national team, he never did.

Germany will definitely beat Argentina, though it probably won't be another 7-1 game. :P

This has been a great World Cup with lots of great matches!!! I hope we have a great final too and may the best team win! :)
And Messi can't play a good game in his national team, he never did.
I am from Argentina and we have criticized Messi lots of times at the beginning, but now we don't do that anymore. He made us won two matches this World Cup and, even when he doesn't play well a whole match, he just needs one play to score.
We have also criticized the goal keeper a lot, but this World Cup he played like he never did before... ;D
I would like to show you a video of how Buenos Aires "exploded" on the last match.
Go to 2:40 for the real fun!
Cheers!

Not surprising that Germany won. Argentina didn't lose nearly as badly as Brazil. :P I'm glad that Holland at least managed to get 3rd place. :)
I happened to go to a Dave& Busters to watch the game, and man that 0-0 thing dragged on as both teams could not get the ball to go in either goal( besides the one goal by Argentina that wasn't counted) but when Germany scored in the 113rd minute, the whole place just erupted in cheers, and people just screaming "Reichland!" at the top of their lungs. I mean, a little over the top, but I was happy that Germany won since it is my primary nationality.

It was a close game, closer then i thought. Argentina could take the win, but Germany did. So congrats to all German's on VG.

From a proud Argentinian: Congrats to all the Germans for the win! :) It was a close and exiting game! Too bad that we couldn't score the two or three chances we have... See you in Russia 2018!
