I really, really wanted Uruguay to win against Netherlands. I mean, they're the underdogs and they've gotten so far. And I thought they might've had a last-minute chance to win, after that second goal of Uruguay with like two minutes left. I hope they at least get third place.

And Germany-Spain. That's gonna be a GREAT game. I really want Spain to win. After the US, Brazil, and Argentina all got eliminated, all I had was Uruguay and Spain. As Uruguay is gone and only has third place to win for, I really hope Spain wins.

For once, we got a semifinal match that was somewhat memorable. There were as many goals scored today as in the four semifinals from 2002 and 2006 combined. Both sides played well, but the Netherlands were just a little bit better.

The stage is now set for a World Cup first: the Dutch will play either Spain or Germany in the final, ensuring that a European side will win outside of Europe for the first time ever.

Jestak wrote:Germany could not have had their game today go better if they'd written a script for it. They got an early goal, which let them sit back and play defense and counterattack. Then, as Argentina started to get a little more frantic in their attack efforts in the second half, the Germans repeatedly took advantage of the holes in the back that were left. The only negative for Germany is that the nitpicky ref gave Thomas Muller a yellow card, which will keep him out of the semifinal.
yeah I totally agree, the game was really nice to watch, a shame Müller can´t play tomorrow :/! I hope Germany (aka the country I´m from XD) will win tomorrow cuz Germany - Netherlands would be an extremely interesting match to watch, don´t you agree?

I was rooting for Spain, but I would've LOVED a Netherlands-Germany finals.

But, hey, at least IF the Netherlands lose, Spain'll win...
