World cup 2014

I think the final is Netherlands - Germany

But first we must deal with Costa Rica (no problem) and Argentina. Our King (Netherlands from birth) and Queen (Argentina from birth) must have a good night for one off them.

But Willem the great should be the winner!!!

Burkhard · 2 Jul 2014, 18:27

I keep my fingers crossed for Netherlands... We don't need sb.
( When it comes to final we are jumpy and not ourselves. )
But let's hope

28000 people in the USA.

In Holland are looking 8 miljon people the match, at home or in a local pub. But also on televisions on the offices.

Here a picture from the party after the second place in 2010. Perhaps this year the first place.

Post note on USA

"U.S. on Wednesday averaged 16,491,000 viewers, making it the second most-viewed men’s soccer match on ESPN ever, behind the 18.22 million viewers that viewed the U.S.-Portugal 2-2 draw on June 22. Univision said it had 5.1 million viewers for the U.S-Belgium match, the most for that network for a round of 16 match. Thus, the total combined television viewing for the game was 21.6 million viewers."

"American interest in the World Cup has surged since the 2010, with overall viewership up 44 percent since the last tournament",

FIFA World Cup U.S. identified at least 70 stadiums in 50 communities wamt to host in 2022

One city Chicago event at Soldier Field that drew roughly 28,000 fans.

By now, American soccer fans have probably grown pretty good at making up excuses why they're not at work during the World Cup's prime time games.

Off to the Qtr Final

FIFA World Cup: Via of the best teams. go foot ball.

There is more skills in the FIFA World Cup than determination and chance to get a ranking order. The scoring of points is base on team players skills in the group play of 32. Wins are nice but points spread are better. These points spread help your players team rank order to a easier ride to the simi final. From then out its health, rest ,skills, determination and chance.

So I see Brazil vs Netherlands in finals
or France vs Netherlands in finals

What do you think?

USA need to score more in 2018 to advance deeper in World Cup.

All the teams fall in rank order eccept one. One under dog make a win and Germany now in Semi- finals games. France we say and wave good-by.

We have to see how Brazil plays without Neymar and Thiago...

Mike Lucey · 6 Jul 2014, 14:41

I should have put this bet on after I saw Holland play first. I'm really impressed with the team and last night was great to watch.

Krul: I told penalty takers I knew their plan

hvanessen · 6 Jul 2014, 15:18

After the replay Netherlands-Spain(WC 2010) we have another replay Netherlands-Argentina (WC1978)

The final we never could win because off the regime in Argentina, but now we take revance like we did with Spain.

Our team is the fittest, and we have very good subsitutes but most off all we have Louis teh Genius !!

Australia are world champions once again after thrashing the Netherlands 6 - 1.....!!!

oh....hang on....this topic is about Soccer....and Australia don't do so well at that.

In fact the Netherlands are about to seek revenge on Australia later this week after what we did to their Hockey team.....I have a feeling it won't be a very pretty score line.....!!

lol @ Kookaburras, there is just no respect for lawn hockey.

I'm optimistic, call me Australia.... I think we'll get closer to Netherlands that Spain did.

And Germany 4-0 over Portugal??? Gee, some big names conceding big scores!!

Germany V Netherlands in the final.

Should have put money on it....

Now the Belgians are out -I'm Belgian- I'm rooting for Holland. Go kaaskoppen!

Germany vs Holland, I'd watch that one.

Rich O Brien · 8 Jul 2014, 22:04

That was a brutal display from Brazil.

Like watching a training match.

Mike Lucey · 8 Jul 2014, 23:44

Wow! Brazil were brutal. I was surfing while watching the match and actually missed a few of the goals as there was so many.

I have a feeling that Brazil were warned about playing 'robustly' as they got away with in their last match. They should have ignored the warning, it might have produced a more respectable score line, maybe 4-1 in favour of Germany.

utiler · 9 Jul 2014, 00:17

Brutal is the only way to describe it, Mike but rather by Germany. Watching the German team all but 'consoling' Brazil was pretty eerie to watch....
