Re: World Cup - Brazil 2014
Germany v Argies for my final. I'm off Brazil and my passion for Argentina is purely based on my sportsbet account and the fact they were my pre tournament tip. Big Messi fan too, good to see a humble superstar who does not reek of being a wanker.

Brazil are far from a one man team, they are more than capable of winning without Neymar.
I am a Messi fan but he is also a serial flopper, only have to sneeze on him and he goes down. A couple of his efforts this season warranted suspensions

yeah i know they are a gun team still, but take the main playmaker out of any team and it will have an effect, even just on the confidence of the team

Didn't they lose their Captain as well.
Fair to say either Semi could go either way. Even the bookies aren't sure. Should make for a couple of entertaining semis

Brazil have been far from convincing. Haven't rated them at all this tournament and didn't think they would win it in the first place and still stand by that

Of course they would rather have him but I get tired of the media all saying Brazil are no hope without him, ive seen far too many sides win over the years without their star players. They will bring in a very capable replacement and Ive thought there are a few on the Brazil side who havnt got out of second gear yet, this might be the kick in the arse they need to lift their game.
This one has penalties all over it IMO, probably 0-0 or 1-1 AET.

A couple of their strikers on the bench look no chance of scoring. I haven't seen a lot of them except in highlights but maybe Fred and some other one named dud. I still giggle at the fact they have a guy names Hulk.

Willian is a very capable replacement but Paulinho is fairly average, Germany would be hoping he plays.
Hulk is a hilarious name but he can play and is a proven goal scorer at league level, not sure he is a quite World class though
