OK folks - I think that I am starting to see a pattern here...

Portugal v Germany - I went for Portugal

Croatia v Turkey - I went for Croatia

Holland v Russia - I went for Holland

Um, errr - good job I did not put any £££ on the results!!

If I were you I'd get and put some cash on Italy tomorrow as I am going for Spain!


I did the same, but went for Italy and everyone lost the games...

From my time in Rio it was always difficult to tell the 'girls' were bonita or bonito.....

Was about language or that part of Copacabana beach that Ronaldo make the mistake??  :lol:

Fernando

Nothing to do with language... more like the problem that Ronaldo had!

Anyway, I look too much like a gringo to go to Copacabana beach - it is too dangerous.  

Where do you live in Brazil? I've been there quite a few times. Sao Paolo, Rio, Belo Horizonte. Some work - some holidays.

Ah! Pele country! It wasn't you that held up his car and stole his stuff last week, was it? Trying to build some funds for some guitar-related purchases?

I imagine that as a very uncomfortable "Don't you know who I am?!" situation.

Has it reached the point where the young generation no longer know who Pele is?  Or don't they care?

Boy that was a good game (the bits where it wasn't cut off by power shortages). OK I was routing for the Krauts but I really felt sad for the Turkish side, they played with such speed and initiative, for a lot of the match they simply overran the Germans.  

Mr Tarek the new vertical neighbor in the apartment block opposite seemed to have nobody to watch it with and so he wrote his email address on his window, in case anyone wanted to come over.

He was whooping happy when the Turks made it 2:2 but a few minutes later with the last minute goal, he turned his lights off and went to bed, while the German fans drove round sounding their horns till 2:00am.  Poor guy, now he knows how it feels to support England.

So ... Spain or Russia?

Spain crushed Russia 3-0!!

I don't think anybody saw that one coming, considering Spain were so poor in their last game and Russia put on one of the best performances of the whole competition in their last match.

If the Spain of the 2nd half tonight turns up against Germany then they will win, but i can't see them winning if they play like they have most of the tournament.

I'm picking Germany to win, but on the night I'll be supporting Spain because they deserve a bit of success for once.

Seeing the tournament as a whole, I think it's fully deserved that Spain is in the final. As I said earlier, they are always one of those teams that play great in the first games, but don't get far, so I'm really glad they did this time. And they have played much better than Germany, so if there's any logic and justice in football, Spain will win. But knowing Germany and their obnoxious tendensy to have everything served at their feet, it wont happen.

Last night was the only time I wanted Germany to win. I had £50.00 on them to win as I thought it was a dead cert - I was panicking for the last few minutes!!

I really want Spain to win the final now - lots of class on show tonight.
