Arguable I guess. The Dutch always seem to be in the semis.kajifu wrote:How is Holland more respected in soccer than Italy,Spain and France?

and who go play diamond formation, I ask.Coach wrote:The establishment certainly wanted Messi vs Neymar, the tv revenue alone would've rivaled an erratic King Midas. Can it happen? Holland will certainly have a ploy for Messi. As much as one hopes to be wrong, theres plentiful evidence to suggest this will be a cagey affair, far from hammer and tong.
Brazil-Germany, time for Scolari to cut his mustard. No Neymar, No Silva, no problem? The team shouldn't be built around one player alone, if that was the modus operandi, may they crash and burn. Hopefully Germany will put them to the sword, cleaving the head from neck and throwing it to the rabble rousing rioters outside the stadia.
Abeg, Spain are new comers and only showed up since 2008. Their display in Brazil shows signs that they may just have benefited from a collective clicking at the right time. They can still go back to being like Portugal. France too only only joined the party in 1998 because they were hosts and have been able to maintain some form of power although they have declined since 2002. The easy comparison is South Africa. They were whipping boys but they produced a group of believers when they hosted & won the 1996 AFCON. they finished 2nd in 98, 3rd in 2000. Then back to being average once the talented group of players retired.mate wrote:All these are the magnificent seven.kajifu wrote:How is Holland more respected in soccer than Italy,Spain and France?
The rest come to watch them.
Cheers, Mate

Only Brazil, Argentina, Germany & Italy can claim to be the magnificent 4. They are the teams who have continued to be true power houses for more than 1 decade. Holland will be within touching distance if they win this WC.
Ewu Ghana, the plural of stadium is stadia or stadiums, at least in British English. Tisha wey no sabi him job. By the way, was that you I saw at Pearson on the 15th of June around noon?

i think the final will be brazil v argentina.

beat them. The Dutch speed is what I believe will do in the Argies, especially when the men in
Orange start bypassing the midfield with long precision balls. If Argentina can soak in Hollands
high tempo, they might be able to explore the gaps left by the high press. Well 'the magician'
Messi might be able to pull off some miracle deliverance for Argentina.
As per Brazil/Germany, I can see the former edging the later via superior possession abilities
along with a Euro-style practical approach of their coach. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that
Neymar is out, because that will reduce the unnecessary flair that slows down of the game for Brazil.
Of course one should not overlook the stranglehold the German defense can provide if they manage
to get a lead, along with the deadly counters they can provide.
You are saying that you don't think Germany will win?Aswani wrote:The road to this WC is going through Germany, I feel whoever beats them will win.
No mind the jaundiced sclera Taxi Driver. Footage has emerged of Tfchampong standing on a toilet seat starring into the mirror above the basin, muttering "yoo tokin to mee".
