By right, on paper; Brazil & Argentina should have no problem in marching through their respective quarter finals. However, with a twist of fate, these favorites was outplayed by their opponents. Holland was on the same playing level with Brazil. Both teams played a very competitive, tight & control game. Alas, Wesley Sneijder manages to find the gap and scored that crucial goal. Finally, the Oranje have blossoms into an international class act.
Meanwhile, the Germans were terrific. The Argentines was not in the same league as them. We know that the Germans is all about ground formations, precisions & accuracy but the Argentines were the favorites due to their robust energy, speed & fancy footwork. But last night game, the young Germans really pick up speed especially Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Lukas Podolski - they were playing at a much faster pace than usual. For Spain to beat Germany in the semi-finals, the Spanish have to mark very heavily & attack the German players who are playing on the left-wing.
The Finals - Germany vs Holland :)

yeah the favourites are out... too bad... brazil were outdone by a hardworking holland... their midfield simply cannot cope... same goes to argentina... their midfield just cant cope with the pace of the germans... maxi and macherano were anonymous in term of attacking and their over reliance on messi to create his magic were limiting their attackign option... anyway the germans were better... hard not to look at them as the favourites now
can't believe that germany lost =( ah well....and the whole media frenzy about the psychic octopus too. Lol! that was funny.
so this time around yingze, i wasted $10 on my work sweepstakes because i pulled out of the hat, japan and south africa.
let's just hope i have better luck next time or learn from this lesson - don't gamble.
