So, we move to the second semi final, after last nights annnihilation.
Argentina thus far have flattered to decieve and like Brazil before(Neymar) them have largely been a one man team i.e. Messi.
The Dutch have been fairly solid throughout and I expect them to prove too strong for their South American opponents tonight.
I just hope that for such an occasion we have a strong referee and that Arjen Robben doesn't try to emulate Tom Daley.
Prediction? Not an 8 goal thriller like last night but I'll go 4-1 to the Netherlands.

Thankfully my 4-1 prediction proved as useful as a catflap on a submarine.
I fancy Germany to take it on Sunday though.
Wonder if Van Gaal is kicking himself over the substitutions?

I really wish the Germans had saved the tanking for the final.

Anyway...fingers crossed.

Still, I have Mertesacker and Messi in my Dream Team so still have an outside chance of winning the works league.

Well £50 on Argentina Germany to be the finalists at 21/10

Of course Germany will be favourites on Sunday but they have struggled against sides who can defend - and punished those who defend like schoolboys - and Argentina have kept 3 clean sheets. The fact that they will be favs though will mean that there will be one or two tasty morsels from the bookies. I stand to win £250 should Argentina win the tournament and i have between now and Sunday to decide whether or not to lay some of it off on a German win, bearing in mind the probable restrictive price.

I wouldn't worry too much roy, the Germans didn't even have to get into top gear to beat Brazil and have plenty left in the tank.
Plus, they've had the extra night to rest.
