Germany is the favourite, but I can't get rid of the feeling that Argentina will surprise us.

About the bronze match: Holland's coach says he doesn't want to play it. I remember how our Swedish team were celebrated as heroes when they came back with a bronze after the 1994 WC...
yes and it's the last chance for Messi to shine !Quote

I don't know much about football, but I watched the game last night. It seemed to me like the Dutch team used all sorts of physical intervention to stop Messi and the other fast attacks. Then after 120 minutes the Dutch coach had used up all his three extra replacements, yellow cards and options to prevent an Argentina goal. Some times it felt like the orange team played rugby aussie rules. So the trick with replacing the keeper like in the Costa Rica game was not possible, and the best team won.
Sure it was a boring game, but if they had been allowed to play the game without all the physical interrupts I am sure Argentina would have had a goal or two during normal time. Also, they scored one which seemed like not offside to me. One more think, many of the players were so good at falling, it is a big problem in football. Big guys simply falling in tremedous pain, then taken to the side, then playing like nothing happened one minute later.
It will be an interesting final game. Two great teams meeting up. I hope they play it fair. Then the best will win.

Brazilian fans have a dilemma on Sunday. Support the team that thrashed them 7-1 or.....actually there is no 2nd choice here.

I think Brasil will win the third place indeed. They have something to make up for towards
their fans. The Oranje-team is not interested in this game at all and neither are the
people in The Netherlands.
I think Germany and Argentina will draw: 0 - 0 or maybe 1 - 1.
On penalties Argentina will win, because never a European country wins in the America's.

that is pretty funny.
football fans have something in common with rolling stones fans,they blame jagger for everything.
seriously though,when you get your ass kicked that bad blaming a fan probably isn't the best idea.

The rest of your post is indeed proof of that.
