Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #240 – July 10, 2014, 09:29:31 pm Agree on Di Maria. Carried Real Madrid over the line in the Champion's League final as well. Just can't see die Mannschaft getting beat, they beat pretty much the same Argentinian side 4-0 in the last World Cup. Argentina look far tighter at the back this time around but at what cost? Lionel Messi having one shot on goal in 120 minutes of football says it all. Germany 2-0 Argentina Quote Selected Last Edit: July 10, 2014, 09:32:47 pm by PassIt2Carrots
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #241 – July 10, 2014, 11:43:33 pm Argentina to win. History on their side, no European team has won a world cup in South America and I don't expect that to change. Germany were clinical against Brazil, but I think that was more Brazil capitulation than German brilliance. They didn't even have to pick apart that defence, it was open for the taking.

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #248 – July 11, 2014, 01:55:44 pm You could make it shorter by dropping it down to 16 teams only to qualify instead of 32.The Aussies would never make qualify if that happened though...Loving the extra fta sport, throw in Le Tour too. Good value during the cold winter months here. Quote Selected
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #249 – July 14, 2014, 03:53:31 am Ok the last game, the premiership of soccer. My tip is Germany but I'd like Argentina to win because we have several members of family who migrated there from Italy. Good luck to both sides and thanks for an entertaining month. Quote Selected

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #253 – July 14, 2014, 09:58:21 am One of the worst finals I've seen however. I think it was a great Cup up until the quarter finals. Full credit to the Germans they deserved their win. Merkel can still eat a dick though. Quote Selected
