I find that if I watch a game that one of my teams plays in, my team loses. It's happened with Italy, Portugal and Japan. I also support the Netherlands....I intentionally didn't watch the Brazil game and, suprise suprise, we won.

that must suck!!

all the teams i supported are out
hope spain make it, but then i also ze germans there
oh well, watever
 
Spain were lucky to beat paraguay in my opinion,they just havent been able to score goals in any of thier matches..I dont think they have even scored more than 1(per game)in all thier games.If germany score early I think its game over spain,every game where germany have scored early they have gone on to score 4,and its happened 3 times already. but I would love a german-uruguay final where germany thump them 5-0 in suarez face.

actually a Mueller/Podolski deflection off suarez face and into the goal would make my year.

now this would be awesome
 
Won't it be ironic if the Dutch won their WC in SA. JVR must be really sweating in his grave.
Ze Germans are here.
 
I think Holland will reach the final but the Germany vs Spain game I don't know.
I'm glad Uruguay are in the semi finals, now I'll get to see Forlan playing again and again.

But Uruguay have been stretched, winning their games after 90 minutes twice, Netherlands on a 5 win streak here.
 
@Rustum
Thanks for that, and it's goals that rule as we can see.
I think it will be a tight one and I say that bcoz Spain and Germany both lost one match by 1 goal in group stages.

But germany dominated Argentina(a big contender for the cup)and England(who had thier best game of the tournament),where as Spains biggest win came from an average looking portugal and that was by 1 goal,although you never know hey..lets hope for another cracker like saturdays game :D

Uruguay beat Korea 2:1 in normal time in the round of 16. It was Paraguay who went into extra time against Japan in the round of 16 ;).

Edit: It was Ghana who went into extra time in two games: against USA in round of 16, then Uruguay in quarters.

I meant for the WC but was lazy to look back, basically Netherlands are the only team to have won all games this world cup so far.

It just shot off my head, thanks for correction.
 
Netherlands vs Germany...... even though Im supporting Spain, Germany look like they will edge them in the semi's. It will be a tough one to call for the finals though. The Dutch are playing well & as they may not be scoring as many as the the Germans, they proved they can nullify the opposition & hit them when it counts.
 
As long as England and Spain don't win the WC, I don't really care who takes it.

Moral: possession doesn't automatically translate into goals.

It would seem posession doesnt automatically translate into goals but it darn as hell sure does allow you to dictate and dominate the game.
