[wachtwoord]

they tried to bring Neymar out since the first games
Kolumbia players pushed him as soon they were close

what do you think will happen when a team has one star player?

With 23 games behind us in the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, we stop to reflect on the success (or failure) of forecasts so far. As we showed here, Brazil began the tournament as more than 3 times more likely winners than any other team, and, according to Goldman's new estimations, remains the strong favorite with a 49.5% chance of raising the Jules Rimet trophy. England's disappointment leaves them a 3% chance of getting to the knockout phase (and USA a 0.7% chance of winning it all). Goldman, however, have severely over-estimated Brazil and Spain's performances (and under-estimated Holland and Spain) as their track-record so far is Stolper-esque at 34% win rate (8 right, 15 wrong).

What was the Goldman's estimator to Costa Rica reach the quarters? The answer will give how reliable is this indicator

Now the big question: Germany or Brazil?

Now the big question: Germany or Brazil?

With the injuries to Brazil and yellow card suspension for Silva, I would say Germany

Hopefully Netherlands scores early against Costa Rica

Now the big question: Germany or Brazil?

I think it's still going to be close even with Brazil losing Neymar and Silva. Germany haven't been enthralling really.

It depends of players mostly. If they united as team and give their best in game, with the great support from spectators as usually, they still have good chance to beat Germany.

I made an updated snapshot.



Can see who won in FT there too.

Well this should be an easy win for netherlands, so we can close the semifinals bracket.

what do you think will happen when a team has one star player?

A brazil vs argentina game wouldn't be as cool without neymar playing

next game Messi out

Anyway the ref in the NL Costa Rica match isn't very good.

[Malin Keshar]

Netherlands deserved to score at least once in the first half

Only Thiago? They havent got Neymar Jr.

[Globb0]

The diving is a bit sad.

Roben got slightly touched in the front middle but he dived forward for a free kick

[wachtwoord]

Seriously these refs get to lead a quarter final at a world cup?

[koshgel]

Costa Rica a stubborn team. Making this incredibly difficult for Holland to advance

[Globb0]

This is the most exciting extra time how close end to end.

WOW,

[koshgel]

Looks like we are going into penalty kicks. Truly anybody's game now.

[freedomno1]

I'm going to make a bold prediction
IF Costa Rica defeats the Netherlands in penalty kicks we will see a Latin American Team take the world cup home
This is GIANT KILLING
