World Cup: 3rd Place Match
Brazil-The Netherlands
Congrats, the Netherlands!! There were no questions of their superiority in this match, although I suspect that it was tough for the Brazilians to regroup after their horrible defeat. They also went out with another clear loss, which makes their World Cup even worse... Despite being more for the Netherlands I was rooting for Brazil to at least come close... But they hardly had any chances. :( On the other hand, I'm glad that the Dutch seemed at least a little pleased with the Bronze. They did really well, considering the expectations. And Brazil.. They were under a lot of pressure and did horribly against a few teams, but at DID make the semis and they will probably continue to de relatively well and even better (it's hard to do worse than the humiliation in this World Cup) in the future.
And soon is the final.. I didn't believe Germany would be there, but now that they are, along with the team I dislike (well, really.. just Messi), I want them to win SO badly!! Besides, they really are the best as a team, but anything can happen.. Argentina's defence is good, and Mascherano is awesome. Messi is also a big threat long with the rest of the offence, but I still think the defence is harder to overcome. I'm hoping for the best. :)
Oh, and Messi will prob. get the Golden Ball, regardless.. so I'm rooting for the Golden Shoe for Müller and Golden Glove for Neuer. :) But most importantly: For Germany to win!!!!
