That remains to be seen, and I guess will prove to be correct sooner or later, but so far in this competition, Germany have shown to be the team with the half decent defence, and potent attack...:2twocents

Germany 4
Argentina 0

Enough said.. !!!!

I can feel a Holland v Germany final coming on, those teams with spanish connections don't seem to be able to handle the pressure...:)

Another inept performance by German opponents. Germany played very well but were allowed to by a group of individuals, and not a team, who just allowed them to run at them. I have not seen worse defensive performances by major teams in a world cup, than I have seen from England and Argentina.
 
I think the Jerrys will dispatch Spain in a similar manner in the SF, maybe not so convincingly but by a goal or 2.

The final will be against Holland who are about the only side capable of containing the Jerrys.

The Jerrys do look not so slick if they go a goal down or cant break the opposition down, we saw similar with Brazil in the second half of the QF, and once the Dutch equalised it was one way traffic.

The Dutch are unbeaten in over 20 games and a side full of highly experinced players at Europes top clubs, think the young Boche will have more than met there match in the Dutch

Holland to be the winners and comfortably IMO

England have been awful. I watched their group games. Try England 0 Algeria 0, or England 1 USA 1. Germany deserved to win but even an average England team would have given them trouble. :2twocents

As for Australia, it's common knowledge that they were awful against Germany.

When Germany comes up against a half decent defence and potent attack, they will come undone:2twocents

Famous last words?
Using results as the real yardstick, the Socceroos weren't that much worse than the Poms, and just as good as Argentina - even with only ten players! :p:

Soon, we'll be able to say 'yeah, tough luck we came up against the Champions-to-be. Had we played in any other group, we could have made the Final!'

(just kidding, of course :) )

Nice!

Ever since Inge de Bruijn I've had a soft spot for Orange. :D

Germany-Netherlands final would be fab.

Yes she was a bit of a stunner.

Hope your right about the final. Although Uruguay and Spain wont be easy beats.

This is as good a chance that the Netherlands will get to finally win the Cup.

Yes think they relaxed too much after they scored their 3rd goal.

Should be a cracking final either way.

Tomorrow mornings game should be good too.
 
Orange for me.:)

It would make up for those early hours my Dad got me out of bed to watch the Dutch in 74 & 78 finals with disappointing results.
I can still remember Dad hanging on the edge of his seat kicking out his leg now and again as if he were kicking the ball himself.
God rest his soul.
 
Well done to Spain : )

Quite a few lost goal opportunities there, should have been more

Netherlands v Spain

Neither have a cup, will be a good Grand Final.
