The Prophet

Fuck that we currently have no fit strikers. We need two most minimum, preferably three. One striker would be simply unacceptable.

I feel sorry for Julio Cesar, the last time a Brazilian faced so many shots he was jumping a ticket barrier at a Stockwell tube station.

So just to clarify, it goes: Monitoring As good as lined up Lined up More monitoring Preparing a bid Initial paltry bid Second paltry bid Final bid Thrashing out personal terms Over the line ?

Netherlands national anthem is about as good as God Save the Queen. You'd get more inspiration from a cardboard box.

Danny Murphy must be sweating his tits off in that jumper.

Having said that I am biased in that I'm gagging for a Germany-Netherlands final.

If you can't appreciate the prospect of a World Cup final in Brazil between Brazil and Argentina you should stop following football tbh. As I say it looks cracking on paper but both sides must not lose mentality will see it overshadowed by the so called 'dark art's of football.

I can't think.of much worse than a Brazil-Argentina final. It would be Barca-Realesque in that it looks tasty on paper but expect heavy doses of: niggley fouls, simulaton, play acting, poor sportsmanship and general tedious and embarassing conduct from both sides.

Aye, she was glorius.

They did have to see off wave after wave of tedious Belgium attacks that broke down twenty yards from goal.

Sound the hyperbole klaxon.

Belgium played exactly as expected: a youthful, disjointed side with bi tournament experience. A decent side would have dicked the Argies today.

Possibly the most undeserved finalists going. Germany-Netherlands final please.

The ref has given as much to Argentina this game as he has to Brazil in their previous match.

Shooting from there man, thick as mince.

Ba was quality man, gave it his all until he left too. No grudges here.

That's what he's good at, stick him up top just off Lukaku.

He is though. He had a ridiculous game against Man United where he completely dominated. Since then I think he's been exclusively s****. He was good for us because of how we played him, but anyone who watched us regularly with a few brain cells could see if we were going to progress as a footballing side - just like how we got rid of Cahill (about 2 years too late) - we needed to get rid, and thus why the fee we got was so hilarious. Would be interested to see him in the same team as Andy Carroll. Somewhere big Sam is nursing a semi.

Higuain with the composure of a five year old school girls there.

And a dirty c*** to boot I honestly don't see what he bring to the table when he's dropped into midfield.

Fellani has been absolutely pants.

By that token let's hope Robben, Muller and Messi pick up nasty injuries. Dear me.

Think Brazil have looked better personally. Today is.probably the best Argentina have played all tournament. Even then they haven't been great.

Every club has its allocation of dullards to be fair.

Fwiw I think Origi has looked useful, he's held it up well and made some decent runs off the ball. He just looks horribly isolated.
