Who is the winner of World Cup 2014

[atinski]

I made one betting on Argetina for World Cup winner, so what do you think

[koshgel]

There is this exact thread under this one.

It's gonna be Germany!

Think Netherlands will go to 3th place match, and will win against Brazil.

By the way: why is Argentina favourite against Netherlands? At least in the betting sites

Because they have a slightly stronger squad?

I just have a feeling that it will win Argentina

Holland have better defense and stronger counter-atack. The Argentina team is too Messi and Di Maria based, as a whole they are inferior to Netherlands, imo.
Plus Argentina did not really good against Swiss and Belgium, in my opinion.
Also Di Maria is out of the match.

Nearly the entire Dutch defense still plays in the Dutch eredivisie. We strengthened our defense with numbers because it's not our strongest suit. Also it was us who struggled with Costa Rica, not the Argentinians.

You are correct Argentina really struggled against Switzerland. Even after they scored and there was little time remaining you saw the terror in their eyes when Switzerland tried to attack (and nearly scored). I agree Argentina also does not have a string defense and I heard they too want to play with 5 defenders tomorrow (for the first time). They did beat Belgium quite easily though. Di maria being absent is a good thing. For the Netherlands there are rumors Nigel De Jong will play which will make the midfield of the Dutch much stronger.

I will say that Germany beats Argentina in the final 2-1. I just hope the Germans didn't use up all their bullets against Brazil! I think whoever Brazil plays in the consolation game will end up beating them. Any spirit that they had for this World Cup was basically destroyed by Germany!

[BitcoinStuff]

Brazil lost against Germany 1 to 7.

[Southpaw0]

Have to go with Germany after that dismantling. Their Defense is just too strong and their goalie is even better  

[CoolRunnings21]

Yea after watching that go down today I am going to say Germany.

I'm pretty sure he has been eager to score the whole world cup. Doesn't mean he will score anymore though.

In general being eager to score is not a good thing as it can cloud your judgement away from passing the ball to someone in a better position to score.

Nooo, where is brazil!!!

[roslinpl]

Nooo, where is brazil!!!

Brazil go home after 1-7 with Germany ...

And now I am starting to think that Germany might win this World Cup.

[atinski]

carefully play from both teams 

[atinski]

woow Argentina  win 

[wachtwoord]

Germany are the top favorites now.

[Malin Keshar]

Germany is favourite, but at this time I hope Argentina wins.

Will be fun see Argentina winning on Maracanã, and Brazil losing by 4+ goals against Netherlands.
