I almost think this France vs. Germany game is too hard to call, but I'll say...
France - 1 Germany - 3
I'm going to throw a curveball and say Germany will keep getting France on the counter, but that France front three is deadly. Should be an amazing game.
Brazil - 2 Colombia - 1 In extra time
I think Brazil are going to win this one by the skin of their teeth. I can just see it. But again, really hard to call - secretly hoping Colombia beat them but I don't think it'll happen.
The early German goal was the best thing that could've happened. Even at that early stage France looked happy to just sit and do 'rien' (nothing) so thank God they didn't take the lead. The French front three look uninterested at times though, which is odd.

I honestly can't see Brazil winning. They're a shambles all over the pitch and have one tactic: pass to Neymar and hope he does something. The same reason I can't see Argentina winning the World Cup as you can't just rely on Messi every time, especially when he looks like he doesn't want to be there.

That was a relatively disappointing game. France went out with a whimper rather than a bang - Germany didn't have to do much in the end, although Schurrle should have had not one, but two goals by the end. Awful shots from him, Muller would have scored those all day long.
But Neuer is superb. Pretty sure he's some sort of android, really, because no one can be that confident and keep a goal that well as much as he does. Ridiculous.
I agree, especially about Neuer. He has to be an android in disguise or something...his ability to hold impossible balls and his general presence and insight into the game border on the surreal. I'm not that much of a soccer fan, but watching Neuer play is a pure pleasure.
Really poor game. France had a chance I thought, but it didn't really feel like they were trying. I'm not sure whether that's because the Germans make things look effortless, or because the snail scoffing men didn't turn up.
Agree with you Shogun, the ref needs to grow a pair. Although I can guarantee the one player who will never get booked is Neymar. One more and he misses a game. There's no way any referee would book him as they know they'll never leave that stadium until the police take him in a body bag.

Thought Brazil were good value in the first half but they've disgusted me in half two. They're worse than the Dutch in the last WC Final - foul, foul, foul, foul. Watching their players scream at the ref if one of them is touched is hilarious. I hope Germany hammer them. Oh and has anyone seen Neymar? Is he even in the ground?
Been known for days now. Barca made him apologise which has made FSG (our owners for those who don't know) furious for not mentioning us and talking to them behind our back. The deal will be £80m cash or £50m and Alexis Sanchez. Personally I wouldn't take their money but report them to FIFA. They're already in trouble for dodgy buys and now the entire world knows they're doing it again but FIFA just bury their head in the sand. A few days after they sign him FIFA will reduce his ban, you just wait and see...

I really don't think much of Brazil. I've always been critical of Luiz but that was a superb free kick, but that's all it was.
Silva out with two yellow cards. Neymar looked pretty badly hurt. You cannot tell me that Brazil are favourites to beat Germany without those two. If I was Germany, I'd be rubbing my hands together at the prospect.
But hey, I totally called it! Said Brazil would edge it by the skin of their teeth at 2-1 and they did.
And good lord, does Fred actually do anything? Did he even touch the ball in the entire 90 minutes? I'd love to see him get past Neuer.
He touched it twice at the kick-off, one more time than Neymar touched the ball all game. Sadly I can see them winning the World Cup now and it will be the worst team to ever win it.
