I hope Ghana wins it.t9rres wrote:OK, the quarter finals through up a few curve balls with Brazil and Argentina being knocked out rather convincingly
Let's hope I can pick the winners this time
Ghana vs Netherlands
Germany vs Spain
I would love to see a Netherlands vs Spain final and crown a NEW world champion, but with Germany in red hot form, I can't see Spain progressing.

Me too, but I still believe Spain can make it through and win this thing, it will be very tough and we'll probably have to continue to splutter our way through but if we get a bit of luck here and there we can take out Germany and Netherlands/UruguayBADA BING wrote:heart = Spain & Holland

Very well put agree 100%Paokara wrote:It sounds stupidly obvious but if your defence is your teams worst asset or near abouts (slow, old) Germany will run rings. Think about it 4 goals against Australia, England and Argentina. The only game they lost was against Serbia whose defence includes players like Vidic, Kolarov and Ivanovic, they knew they werent going to beat Germany by taking it to them all out attack. That was Englands problem, always going up looking for that 2nd goal, Australia and Argentina were torn apart by the speed and direct attack of youngsters Ozil and Mueller. If Spain plan on winning, players like Pique, Capdevilla Ramos etc need to leave the attacking pressure behind for this game. If Germany are given space to run into they will find exploit it. Spain need to play this game with the mentality that they are second best to Germany and focus mainly on defending. However my guess is that Spain will stick to how they've been playing and lose.

Or ya can look at it that Germany tore apart 3 teams that gave them all the time an spance they wanted in the midfield and allowed Schweinstieger, Khediria and Ozil to dictate play, and create space to play Klose, Podolski an Mueller into.Paokara wrote:It sounds stupidly obvious but if your defence is your teams worst asset or near abouts (slow, old) Germany will run rings.
