The English just tried too hard to tie the game back up, and no one even really tried to get back if their plan failed, which it did twice. If England knew the risks and actually cared about them, the game would have been dramatically different.
Yeah but i mean that (2nd goal for england) controversial goal for england is just a good excuse for a lose. I mean yes i know its hard as hell to come back from a deficit in Soccer but it can be done. (not trying to boast about my country) but even as bad as the U.S. is at soccer we managed comeback after comeback. Being down can be overcome so don't go blaming that one uncontested goal on the lose. I do thoroughly believe (to agree with said statement above) that England had no chance, Germany had its **** together England didn't and thats why they lost. Not some unaccounted goal. On to the Brazil Chile game, um idk what to make of Brazil that game was so one sided, i mean i really thought Chile would put up a fight and well they didn't. Brazil is BA they always are but until they play some like Argentina, Germany or Portugal we won't really know just how good they are. I'm really pulling for the final to be Brazil Germany, i mean Argentina is good but i think Germany will be able to best them, guess we will just have to see Saturday.
What did you guys think of the Japan Vs Paraguay game? Im thinking the Netherlands and Argentina will be in the finals and Argentina Winning it. My Prediction for rest of the tournament. Pink=Winner Spain 1-2 Portugal Portugal Round of 16 Paraguay 0-2 Portugal Portugal Quarter-Final Argentina 3-2 Germany Argentina Quarter-Final Argentina 3-1 Portugal Argentina Semi-Final Ghana 2-1 Uruguay Ghana Quarter-Final Netherands 2-1 Brazil Netherlands UPSET! Quarter-Final Ghana 0-2 Netherlands Netherlands Semi-Final Netherlands 1-2 Argentina Argentina Championship Portugal 2-0 Ghana Portugal Runner-Up
So your telling me that their isn't gonna be one PK shootout? Your predictions look way to high scoring. And Ghana beating Uruguay? I doubt it.
well your Portugal games are shot haha, Spain won that one 1 0. As for Ghana Uruguay i agree Uruguay will win not Ghana.
I called the Brazil game right on the money ^_^. But I think that Ghana has more enery because they are the youngest in the tournament. But yeah I guess you can replace Spain with the Portugals now. But everything else for my predictions stay the same.
Sorry bro, but you're gonna be wrong about the German game. But, if you can manage to get Ghana vs. Uruguay right, GOD DAMN YOUR LUCK.
See another instance of, if FIFA used replay in certain circumstances (not all the time like American Football etc) this wouldn't have happened, although that one isn't gona be as controversial as the England goal still they can/could be game changing scores.
How would replay have helped exactly? The referee blew his wistle, gave the Uruguayan player a red card, and rewarded Ghana with a PK. As the rules said he should have. What would replay have changed? But I do think FIFA needs to institute goal-line replay.
Dude your little line ups etc have gone to **** haha. Germany is in, so is Spain (as we covered) Brazil is out lol so hmm im still gona go with Germany ftw, they exploited Argentina's weak defense so great this game well in the last 30 anyway.
I'm supporting Holland. We're probably looking at a Germany-Holland final, although I'll wait to see how Spain/Paraguay play this evening before I say for certain.
For the final now with the SEmi-Finals locked down I think the Netherlands VS Spain is going to be the final. I just think Villa is to beast. But I wouldnt be surprised if Germany does come out with a win. For sure Netherlands in the Final though with a 60% chance for Spain and a 40% chance for Germany. I didnt think Germany would have done so well this tournament...
Although I am taking World Ranking into this, and past history in the World Cup, this is exactly how Germany plays. I wouldn't be surprised if this year they would advance and possibly win the World Cup. The other two teams just don't seem to match up with Germany's skill, especially after taking out a favorite in Argentina AND England. SOUTH AFRICA TOURNAMENT TRACKER Click Champions.
