World Cup

I see that l'Orange is the new black!

Imo not as great as some of the recent dutch teams. No Davids, Van basten, Gullits etc

Total futball it isnt but maybe thats a good thing - It is afterall about winning. Look at Italy and some of the German teams over the years. Not exciting but they win..

Having said that - the Germans are playing incredible attractive football which is a pleasant change. To score 4 goals against three good teams is a huge effort.

It seems to me that the underachievers are Serbia. The first team to beat Germany ever in the first round of a world cup final campaign. Full of young (and old) stars Serbia is a great team. Lets hope that in four years time they can go further.

Great to see the USA do well. Lots of guys playing good football in top European Leagues.

Also impressed by Japan.

England, Italy and France....one to forget!

My pick for the final....Netherlands over Spain 3-2.

(Im often wrong but its good to have a guess)

(football tragic)
