Yeah, same here.
Brazil starting to play real ugly now, Mueller had to jump back to save his knees.
You've GOT to be kidding me!
7:0
Is there some kind of record for scoring so many goals at a world cup match after the preliminaries?
And seven!
Well, we had a 8:0 once.
Against Saudi-Arabia.
Still, I am not really surprised. I took the German side to be a quite decent one, the Brazilian side as crappy with just one star player.Quote:

1 back. Not so much as a consolation prize.
This isn't the first time a bunch of germans will have to lie low in Brazil for a while for their own safety.
Aww, my date for the match tonight had to cancel,and the weather is shit so I'm not going to watch on the big screen outside either :(
Oh, and yesterday a German won the tour, today a Dutchie :p
Yeah, dream on :p

Spoiler:
Sorry cloggies, but come on Argentina.
Worth 60 quid to me. :)
Worth some money to me too, not that I placed a bet but alcohol expenses during the final :p
Booring. Who thinks that they'll have to decide by penalty kicks?
It's a tight game alright, some brilliant defending by both sides. Neither strong to break through.
Extra time it is.
Not really. I think there will be A goal in extra time.Quote:

No, wasn't certain about it... and obviously was wrong about it. I hate shoot outs.
And that is that. :)
Oh well, watching this tonight here in Amsterdam we already came to the conclusion that no matter who would win tonight Germany was certain to win the World Cup.
Germany v Argentina - I can't think of a worse final lol! Not sure who I want to lose it more, was definitely supporting the Dutch tonight ;)
I have no doubts on that count, I want Germany to win. Not that it matters much, because the Argentineans have even less of a chance against them than Holland would have had.
I think I want the Germans to win too, not something you'd hear me say often. But after yesterday can say it easier as they clearly deserve it. If the German's can repeat yesterday's quality not only will they win they'll deserve to.
My long term bet with my Argentine friend was that the final winner would be whichever finalist had the lowest budget deficit.Quote:

I didn't expect I'd be this involved, but there I am watching the losers' final and still excited as hell. Brazil - the Netherlands halftime 0-2.
It's like they don't even want to score anymore..
:D And this ladies and gentlemen shows the truth of my claim from the beginning of the tournament that referees would do what they could to make the host win, and how this Brazilian side was so crappy that even that could not save them.

Goldman Sachs’s World Cup Predictions Model: Successful?
Goldman Sachs’s World Cup predictions, outsmarted to some extent by an octopus, have been caught out by reality. A complicated model that predicted Brazil to win the tournament after facing down the Netherlands now looks wanting after both teams were knocked out.
As you may remember, the bank’s economists crunched data on 14,000 past matches to arrive at a 67-page report that confidently calculated the outcomes of all matches, published May 30.
It changed 50% of the teams after the first stage after it became clear reality wasn’t quite matching the historical dataset.
Looking at those original, pre-tournament predictions, only 37.6% of the group stage matches ended the way Goldman Sachs’s original model forecast. That is, it correctly calculated one of three possible outcomes—win, lose or draw—just over a third of the time, hardly better than predicting it at random. From those calculated correctly, they managed to foresee the scoreline 17% of the time, meaning three occasions: Argentina-Bosnia, South Korea-Russia and Algeria-Russia.
When the bank updated its predictions at the end of the group stages, it got the result of the match—win, lose or draw—right 60% of the time. But it failed to correctly guess the results of both semi-finals at that stage, and hence ended up predicting the wrong teams for the final.
(...)
:up: :o
37.6% is atrocious lol

Eh, wasn't the referee just bad in general? The second goal was offside I think and the first goal the foul seemed to happen outside the penalty box (then again, should have been red).Quote:
