Pretty sure FIFA didn't want Germany to win. Suck it, FIFA!

Dangit! Brazil scored already. No matter who goes through - it'll be a tough game for Germany. I'm hoping for a draw after after regular time and lots of yellow cards. Germany has an atrocious record against Brazil; I don't think they can beat them playing in front of an all-Brazilian crowd.

None of the teams looked impressive in the quarterfinals. Belgium looked frighteningly weak against Argentina after playing like potential champions against the US. Now Netherlands is making a hash of it against Costa Rica. There's no telling who will end up in the final after these performances.

This was more Robben and Sneijder against Costa Rica.

This was more Robben and Sneijder against Costa Rica. True, van Persie had a few sporadic flashes of creativity, but they all fizzled. Maybe against the Argies Lens will discover how to stay on side.

I hadn't heard of Matthaus in years. It's good to hear his perspective.

Brazil without Neymar and Silva has leveled the money field
Vegas has both almost as a pick-em both paying $215 for $100 Over under is 2 goals with under the favorite a draw after 90 is paying $230 |

RECORD GERMANY STATISTICS:
* By scoring Germany's second goal, Miroslav Klose became the most prolific goal scorer in World Cup history. Klose now has 16 World Cup goals in his career, breaking a tie with Brazil's Ronaldo. * Germany scored five goals in the first 29 minutes, the fastest any team has scored five goals in any game in World Cup history. Yugoslavia scored five in 30 minutes against Zaire in 1974. * Germany are the first team to score five goals in the first half of any World Cup game since Poland against Haiti in 1974, and the first in a knockout stage game since Austria beat Switzerland in 1954. * Germany's seven goals broke a record for most scored in a semifinal, previously at six, held by Uruguay and Argentina in 1930, and West Germany in 1954. No one had even scored five in a semi since Brazil beat France 5-2 in 1958. * Germany are now the all-time top scoring team in World Cup history with 223 goals. They passed Brazil at 220 in the first half. Even more unbelievable are Brazil's stats: * Brazil had not allowed *five goals in an entire World Cup* since 1998. They allowed four in five matches in 2010, two in five matches in 2006, and four in seven matches in 2002. * Brazil had *never before* trailed by four goals in any World Cup match. That's 102 previous matches. * Brazil have allowed five goals in official games just eight times -- six in 1940 or earlier, and twice in 1963. Six goals? Not since 1940. Seven? Not since an 8-4 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia in 1934. * Brazil *lost at home in a competitive match* for the first time since the 1975 Copa America in Brazil. * The last time Brazil lost a World Cup match at home was the 1950 final, which caused the team to change its kit. |

54th minute, and I'm calling it: 0-0 AET and penalty kicks.
Neither team looks like they're trying to score. There hasn't been a single good chance yet. |

I don't know if Sneijder being out influenced the decision to keep Van Persie back, but keeping him withdrawn worked out really well.
