Dunga could have had the team win by letting good players in. He was grouchy, and treated the players with a bit of, perhaps, intolerance. I am awear that while he was coaching the team, he was able to win several matches. But now, it doesn't matter anymore because he was fired. The new coach is still to be announced. If he were truly a good coach he should have found the team's flaws and worked on it so that more victories could come.

So because he lost a match, he's a bad coach. Jeez, that means there are probably no good coaches in history? Nahh. Also, what players did he leave out that could have had a better impact? Ronaldhino isn't good anymore, and Ronaldo is past his prime and old. What better moves could he have made? And I didn't see him mistreating any players, perhaps he was just a coach with a hardass approach, as many coaches do.

Van Bronckhorst had a sick goal in the game. And of course, Forlan matched later.

I have to think Germany will win today's match. As much as I love watching David Villa play, he and Xavi are about the only ones seemingly awake on the Spanish team. Germany is playing at such a high level right now....

And if you haven't seen it, Geico stays topical with their latest commercial.


EDUT: About Brazil? Coaches get fired all the time, but if Fabian Melo wasn't such a bonehead and put them down a man by stomping on Robben maybe Brazil could've come back to tie. Just sayin'.

...remember what I said about Germany playing really well? Oops.

They looked nothing like the team that was carving folks up. Tentative and stiff. If it wasn't for the German keeper, this might have been 4-0.

Bugger I completely forgot about the Semi-Final, Actually that's not quite true, for some reason I thought Spain had already won and was looking forward to the final between Spain and Holland...lol No idea when I thought the game was played.

Spains never won the World Cup have they? If so it means that no matter what happens this world cup will make history by crowning a team that's never held the trophy before. The Best two teams to have never won the World Cup.

Can't say i'm unhappy with the result, The Brit in me just can't bring myself to support the Germans.

GO SPAIN!!!!!!!

Spain vs Netherlands? Not the most intersting game. I bet my mony on Spain.

@Zat- I know you think that way about Dunga, everyone besides Brazilians think that way, but that's just how critique Nrazilians are when it comes to what they do the best (usually). I had a soccer party were Brazil was matched against Coast Ibory, and everyone who came was Brazilian. And everyone was complaining about how bad of a game it was, and the se with Portugal. While the other people I know that aren't Brazilian thought that they played fairly well. What i'm trying to say is that we have different perspectives and opinions.

Germany was doing well because European games are a tad different than Latin American games. The game that Germany played with Argentina was to keep the ball in the air, it took a lot of Argentina to just get the ball on the offense.

Sudacans play a strong defensive set-up, which is the first thing to realize.

1. Spain's passing game can't easily break a team who clusters around the box waiting to counter.

2. Germany's offensive assault breaks that defense through sheer force.

To make a long story short, Spain hasn't been hiting their stride because they've been playing against SA teams that can hold them to a fault.

On the other hand, Germany rips those teams a new one.

Against more offensive European teams, Spain can dominate.

Plus, Germany missed Mueller (who is their main man IMO, fills in the gap btwn Schweinstieger and Podolski) and let Spain dictate the pace of the game (If Germany had played their fast soccer/football, Spain's game wouldn't have been able to keep up).

Good luck to both teams in the final on Sunday smile.gif
