  • Germany has scored more this half than KU football in most games.

    • Reminder: Portugal beat North Korea 7 to 0 last Cup and the North Koreans were considered to be the laughing-stock.

        I feel that Germany would beat ku in both football AND futball.

        • Why did Brazil have to go and ruin the shutout? You could have achieved greatness! (Just like how Jim Rome would always rag on NFL teams who blew their chance to go 0-16)

            • Today it's all about the Netherlands. I'm a big Messi fan, but I love watching Robben too. Netherlands has a better defense, I believe, but it's not infallible. Argentina has had the easiest road to the semi-final, make no mistake about that. So while their defense seems good, I'm not sure it has been tested like it will be today. That doesn't mean they are bad, it just means we haven't really gotten to find out yet. One thing that's frustrating about Argentina is that they don't get the ball to Messi enough. That's partially because other teams double down on him, but it's also part their system and their midfields' ability.

              If Argentina gets the ball to Messi more, then they will stay in this game. Since the Dutch will most likely smother him, I see this going to Netherlands. Netherlands win this 2-1.

                  • As much as I would say that the United States would never blatantly quit like Brazil did yesterday, part of me also wondered if that kind of a result would have happened in the USA-Belgium match if Tim Howard didn't do his best impression of a brick wall.

                      • I think it will be a high scoring game. 3-2. I don't know who will win though...

                        I guess I'm going with Argentina.

                          Did I forget to mention I meant penalties?! ;)

                            Nothing in my analysis said this would be a high scoring game so I chalked the basis for your prediction up to enthusiasm. :)

                            • Regardless who wins this, this has been the highest quality game of the 2014 Cup that I can remember. Not saying the most exciting, but the level of play (skill) has been outstanding.

                                I just figured the stars would show up and score some goals (RVP, Robben, Messi, Aguero).

                                This was the first game I was grossly incorrect about. Since I got the winner right, I still take half credit!
