But yeah, Brazil's defence is absolute rubbish. Whenever Netherlands got past the midfield near to the Brazil's goal, there was always room and danger. Just their passes and co-operation wasn't quite a match to Germany to capitalize with so many goals, but still enough to win this game comfortably.
Tomorrow I want to see what the so far strong Argentina's defence can do against Germany's very organized and multi-talented (with several good strikers) attack. And also if Germany's defence can also effectively neutralize Messi (and di Maria if he re-appears) like Netherlands did. On paper Germany is favourite and I hope they win, but in football you never know what can happen... Argentina's defence should be from quite a different class from Brazil's at the very least.
Germany's team work very much reminds some of the best teams I have seen in action, be it Brazil in 2002 or Spain in previous tournaments.

Neymar must be one hell of a player.
With him they won games to reach a Semi Final, with out him lost 10-1 in their last two games?????
David Luiz is a hell of a player... literally.Quote:

I remember watching the Chile-Brazil game. Brazil already there was pretty unconvincing and were a bit fortunate to get through as Chile looked like at least a match to them in every way.
