Rei Rei Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 When talking about football at a national level, Brazil x Argentina at a WC Final is pretty much the biggest match possible. It's a shame that both Neymar and Di Maria can't take part on that spectacle. However, Germany x Argentina is IMO bigger than Netherlands x Germany. Two wc finals IN A ROW, where both sides won? Fuck. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, the whole WWII hatred has lessened over the years, but Holland still have a big grudge against them at least in football. But either match would be a spectacle, maybe for the wrong reasons. I never saw that much of a rivalry between germany and holland. Can you guys point out more super special awesome matches they had besides the '74 final where Gerd Muller beasted? Anyway, the only final 4 comparable to this is the '70 one. Uruguay/Brazil and Germany/Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Here's an overview. In particular, their game in 1990 with SPITTING. Before that, Holland were a lot more hateful towards the Germans. More recently, Germany and Holland is less aggressive, but still highly competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Oh right, THAT '90 game. It's funny seeing the ammount of staches involved from both sides. Yeah, I was pretty oblivious of the sheer HATRED involved beforehand. Still, it's way downplayed now, isn't it? Their last encounter was fairly tame. Also, the best moment of a Brazil x Argentina game ever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of the same at this point. Welp we'll see if Brazil or Germany get through first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Costa Rica was so close to another sensation. I have to admit that none of the teams in the semi finals didn't convince during the WC so far. It's understandable because of the completly different climatic conditions for the footballers from match to match. My predictions for the semi finals: vs. Well, it's probably a 50-50 chance. Both teams had effort in their last matches. Neymar is out, but the Brazilian team has lots of great footballers. A good team performance could compensate him. Germany was very effective against France. If their defend will be good and they take their few chances, they can be successful vs. Brazil. However Brazil has home advantage. vs. Argentina played minimum effort. They played boring, but very succesful. They won all their watches with just one goal difference. If they want to be beat Netherlands, they have to improve their style of play. However Netherlands reached very lucky the semi final. Though they had nerves of steel, when it mattered! They turned around the match against Mexico in the final 10 minutes and they hold the upper hand in the shootout. In my opinion NL played the most attractive football of the four teams, so they would be my favourite for winning the World Cup.

Excellen Browning Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Seeing as I'm the only Dutch person here, let me explain the German/Dutch rivalry. It started as a WWII thing and it was one sided. In 1974 the Dutch lost to the Germans in the WC finals, because of a penalty for the Germans that should not have been given, which was just fuel to the fire but made it more of a football thing. Then in 1988 the EC was held in Germany, and the Dutch beat the Germans in the semis and went on to become the champions, and that sparked the Germans to start seeing us as their rivals. All in all, there was the 1990 spitting incident and while it was pretty heated during the 90's, it's really calmed down over the years and it's a friendly rivalry now.

Parrhesia Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) I don't want to make my predictions because I want both of my predictions to actually happen. From what I've heard England considers Germany its greatest rival (Argentina probably second I guess?), but it's mostly one-sided - Germany's greatest rivals is probably the Netherlands.

This is true. The Germans barely consider England their rivals at all. Any final that happens will be interesting, but Brazil vs Holland would probably be the least so.
