OT: World Cup Open Thread Part 3


it is the semi finals, the finals and the third place game.

The first matchup in the FIFA World Cup semifinals is Uruguay vs. the Netherlands. The Netherlands got here by rolling through their group and Slovakia in the round of 16. They then a quarterfinals matchup with the #1 team in soccer, Brazil. After trailing 1-0, with the help of a Brazilian red card, the Netherlands came back and won the game 2-1. Uruguay got to the knockout stage by capitalizing on France's epic choke, and surprised most people and escaped the group. They then beat South Korea 2-1 in a rainy game, they met Ghaha, where it looked they'd lost, when Ghana had a last second PK, but a clutch save was made. It went to PK's, and then Uruguay won, capitalizing on  multiple Ghaha mistakes.

The later matchup willl most likely be the more competitive of the two semis, and it pits Espana and Deutschland.  Both suffered a surprising loss in the group stage, Germany to Serbia, Spain to Switzerland. But since each of those losses, neither has lost a game. Spain beat Portugal in a matchup you'd expect later on the tournament, followed by a 1-0 W against Paraguay. Germany played England, and routed them 4-1, and then played Messi and Argentina, and destroyed them 4-0.  

 

Both these games look to be very good, and the winners will go to the World Cup finals.
