USA played very well because of Howard's impressive and extraordinary performance. Belgium deserved to pass.

Cocney: who do you think will win between France & Germany and Argentina v Belgium?

Where a game goes to penalties, the winning team will be awarded one additional goal. So DO NOT predict a draw.

[ivaneurope]

Why do you all think Belgium will beat Argentina? Argentina with Messi and Di Maria are far more superior team than the wankers from Belgium, who can't beat a team with more than 1 goal differnce.

Colombia sure is a hurdle, but the World Cup is in Brazil and no way Brazil will lose.

For me France are the favorites vs. Germany - the Germans were too unconvincing in their matches (exect against Portugal), while France demolished the higher ranked Switzerland.

[YoNnie]

I think I'd use football thread for answer it
However Belgium can beat Argentina, they showed they can make great match with USA (but Howard had great match). Brazil will win, unfortunately, because of pression from countrymates. They'll do it.
And France is too weak to beat Germany. They're not bad but not enough good for make it.
But everything is possible in football, so - who knows?

[ivaneurope]

These matches will be tough and unpredictable, but my predictions are the following:
Brazil 0-0 Germany with Brazil winning 3-2 on penalties (here is Julio Ceasar vs. Neuer)
Netherlands 0-1 Argentina (extra time goal)

Yellow cards: at least 3

The events are leading to Final Brazil-Argentina IMO
