    i have a strong feeling Colombia is gonna pull a huge upset win over Brazil

    Oh I do hope so, I was cursing when I first got them in my work sweepstake, but having seen them play, they look good enough to win it!

    World Cup has been fantastic this year. For the most part, a lot of tight games.. I honestly could care less who is in it, although I was hoping to see a dark horse win it this year. I was hoping to see Chile or Mexico go through, but alas, it was not to be.

    As a soccer noob, it appeared to my novice eye that the US (other than that goalie) just isn't a very good team.

    I completely agree. Columbia look awesome this year. Chile looked good too, and would have beat Brazil if the crossbar was just 3 inches higher. :-)

    I would feel inclined to agree!

    Apparently he saved 15 shots in the match, the highest number of saves made in a World Cup match since they started keeping record in 1966! Wow!

    Yep, the US produces awesome goalies.

    Sad Costa Rica's Cinderella run ended. Krul, kruly krushed their hopes. >_>
    I feel bad for Neymar too. That terrible challenge but even more horrible was that ref. The amount of fouls during the entire game and he just let things happen. Lost control of the game.

    Yes, I will be watching ...... and since I am half German + half French and grew up in both countries, I have to cheer for Germany, my mothers country!......my biggest complaint is that my hubby, a true blue American, has been watching ALL the games and that has messed with my gym schedule..... today we ended up taking two cars to the gym: he went home after 40 min on the elliptical (he has made his goal at 175 lbs on 6') and I ended up watching the game while on a bike at the gym .... and yes I have no problem peddling away for over an hour........burnt 1959 cal today alone, but I will be watching the Final at home :-)

    Wow! That was not only embarrassing, but humiliating as well!! They broke some sort of World Cup record, and not in a good way!

    Fernandes turned to a German fan, handed her his trophy and said:

    "Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it, congratulations."

    Great final goal there.

    Sorry for lack of sound. Only video I could find of the actual goal. YT was spammed with crap videos.

    Not more boring than baseball....

    Glad Germany won this World Cup, they deserved it more then any other team.

    But Messi as best player.... WTF! Did Barcelona paid the Fifa to give him that award....


    NO F*cking way he was best player, did not even make it to the top10

    And based on his look receiving the award i think he agrees with it as well

    James Rodríguez for the best player by a mile FIFA stinks of corruption
