Subject: BRAZIL WORLD CUP FINALS

If Brazil managed to stop the Germans, and actually create some good chances, in the second half by sending Paulinho and Ramires in, I think Argentina has some good chances, since their midfield is much stronger than Brazilian. They have Mascherano, he can do anything :P

Germany - Argentina 1 - 2
Brazil - Nederland 0 - 1

and actually create some good chances, in the second half by sending Paulinho and Ramires in,

Maybe because Germany wasn;'t giving 100% anymore? ;)

I don't think Argentina will be that easy as Brazil, but Germany is going to win this for sure.

Germany - Argentina 3-0
Brazil - Nederland 2-0

Germany is the only team that i think that was realy good.
The Netherlands will not be motivated enough to win. (Just like 1998)

I think Brasil managed to stop the Germans by being too many goals behind :)

We certainly need to be as concentrated as in the last 2 matches. See if we can get a game like Algeria or France (actually, the match vs Algeria had too many goal chances to be a good model for us :P), and then see if we can get something out of it ;)
As in all previous matches, I think we can't afford to have Germany scoring first...

I think Brasil managed to stop the Germans by being too many goals behind

Jeje, it's true. It wouldn't have been a 7-1 if Brazil started with that extra midfielder though. Argentina, incredibly, has a solid defensive system now, so I don't think Germany will have an easy match there; at least not to say that they will for sure win it.

Let's hope you are right! :) We'll only know on Sunday...

Stats in World Cups, Copa America and Olympic Gold Medals

Brazil: 5 + 8 + 0 = 13
Argentina: 2 + 14 + 2 = 18
Uruguay: 2 + 15 + 2 = 19
All other CONMEBOL teams: 0 + 6 + 0 = 0.

Well, its obvious that World Cup is more important than Copa América, but historically the two biggest rivals in South America are Argentina and Uruguay. (ok, poor analysis, but its not so false)

If Brazil managed to stop the Germans, and actually create some good chances

In 2002?

So you think Brazil didn't have good chances in the second half?

In 2002?

:P

The only reason why Brazil scored 1 goal and had a few more possibilities to do so was because Germany didn't go all the way anymore as they had already won the match after 45 minutes.

Exactly

I think that applies to Germany not scoring more goals, not for their defending 'getting weaker' (which I think didn't actually happen, but instead Brazilian attack got stronger). You could see Neuer and Boateng being mad when they received the Brazilian goal. I do think a team can say at the half time 'ok, let's not attack much more' but I hardly think they would say 'ok, let's give them some chances'.

That's what happens when it's 5-0. Not everyone will give the full 100% anymore so there will be more gaps as when 11 players are all fully concentrated. Some won't like that 1 goal of Brazil, others will think it's fine as long as they can save some extra energy for the most important match, the finales.

Ray Whelan went out the back door of the Copacabana Palace, we saw it in the cameras, leaving in a hurry. It is considered a fugitive. Brazilian police.

In case anyone wonder why he/she couldn't get a ticket.

What I think:
Germany vs Argentina
Brazil vs Nederland

What I hope:
Germany vs Argentina
Brazil vs Nederland
