I bet against you, Jim.
I read somewhere a good argument, saying that in both Europe and
South America, they nowadays play one and the same football style -
the European. And I think the Europeans know better how to play that, than the South Americans.
With latest news just in, saying that Silva indeed is out now and Brazilian protests at FIFA have been blocked, Germany has even better chances.
I think there will be a an all European final. Germany-Netherlands: e
in Knaller.
At least if Löw does not coach the German advantages away again, like he did four years ago. That he listened to to the massive criticism now and changed his lineup, gives reasons to hope he has learned something.
All expectations calculated before any FIFA secret ref order interferences come into play.

The refs cannot be trusted anymore.
