HOLLAND 0 COSTA RICA 0 (AET)
HOLLAND WIN 4-2 ON PENS I have taken a few days to report on this game..... The Dutch were so poor against a fairly well but limited Costa Rica. What makes me laugh is the Van Gall gets all the plaudits for taking off the goal keeper with a min to go in extra time and bringing on the Newcastle keeper for the pens.....  Ok he saved two of them but.... If Van Gall had sorted out his team in the 90 mins then there would have been no pens...  Someone better tell him we only play 90 mins in the premier league...  Costa Rica went out on their shield and could have nicked it at the end which although undeserved would have been funny....  So the Dutch go on to play Argentina on Wednesday night and will need to improve a lot if they are going to lift this world cup....  TONIGHTS BETS .......All lost New balance......-221 points

BRAZIL V GERMANY (Semi Final) 9PM
Down to the last four and a repeat of the 2002 final in South Africa when the Brazilians won 2-0. This Brazil team is nowhere near as good as that one was and in truth this team is one of the worst i can remember. With no Neymar or Costa i feel this is the end of the road for the host nation tonight. Although they have got this far on the whole its been a struggle and also some help from the refs hasnt gone amiss. The Germans just look to powerful and too good for Brazil and i think it could be a fairly easy nights work for them to get revenge for 2002. At the back the Germans have been solid and their midfield is way better then the Brazilians not forgetting their strikers who have all done well in this competition. Compare that to Fred and Hulk and even Jo who really must be the worst strikers Brazil have ever fielded. So for me its the Germans who will be in Sundays final and i doubt we will be having a late night. Tonights Bets. GERMANY TO WIN IN 90 MINS @ 2/1..........10 points GERMANY TO WIN 3-1 @ 25/1.....................3 points GERMANY TO WIN 3-0 @ 28/1.....................3 points OVER 3.5 MATCH GOALS @ 4/1....................5 points MULLER TO SCORE 2 OR MORE @ 14/1.........4 points Total wagered........25

Half time report...
BRAZIL 0 GERMANY 5 (FIVE)...... Not even i can believe how bad this Brazil team is..... I cant remember watching any match where a team has scored goals so easily. Did laugh when the commentator said..."Fred has done nothing cant see him coming out for the second half".... Think he ment "Any half again"........ Lets just hope they dont make the excuse that they didnt have Neymar and Silva.....

BRAZIL 1 GERMANY 7 (SEVEN)
What can you say ......  In all my years watching football i dont think i have ever seen a team with so many big named players get a beating as bad as Brazil did tonight. I really thought the Germans would win fairly easily but this was a hammering of epic proportions... I cant remember seeing a team who just didnt have an idea of what they were doing....Not one Brazil player could hold his head up . What the left and right back were doing only they know but it wasnt defending... The other thing that totally amazes me is how Chelsea got £50m for Luiz.... Talk about bailing out at the right time....Nick Leason would have been proud of that deal.... So the Germans go marching on and who can stop them ? Maybe no one but as we have seen tonight footballs a "funny old game" and this was only one match....The final could be oh so different....  Tonights Bets Landed GERMANY TO WIN IN 90 MINS @ 2/1..........10 points OVER 3.5 MATCH GOALS @ 4/1....................5 points I will also say that i cant believe Muller only scored once....  New balance.......-192 points Tomorrow we look at the second semi between ARGENTINA & HOLLAND

ARGENTINA V HOLLAND...9pm
The second semi final and tonight we see the another battle between the South Americans and the Europeans. Last night we saw the demise of the host country Brazil who were thrashed by the Germans so tonight can the South Americans fight back.. The Dutch have surprised a few but have struggled in the last two games so maybe they arnt really as good as we thought they were early in the competition. The Argentinains have been a bit like the Dutch and rely heavily on Messi to create and score for them. If the Dutch can stop him i think they have a chance to make it a all European final. I can see another fairly open affair but nothing like last night and this one could easily go to extra time or even pens to decide the out come which will be interesting if only to see what Van Gall does with his keeper this time. So its the Dutch for me in a close encounter. Tonights Bets. GAME TO BE DECIDED IN ET @ 6/1.....5 points GAME TO BE DECIDED ON PENS @ 5/1......4 points HOLLAND TO WIN 3-2 @ 40/1........3 points ARGENTINA TO WIN 2-0 @ 10/1.......3 points ROBBEN TO SCORE AT ANYTIME @ 11/4.......6 points HOLLAND TO SCORE A PEN @ 11/1.......3 points ARGENTINA TO SCORE A PEN @ 10/1.....3 points Total wagered.........27 points

Half Time Report
ARGENTINA 0 HOLLAND 0 "Intriguing" Andy Townsend called it......:h? That was to stop people turning over to watch the news...... I would sum it up a bit different.... Bloody boring ....... Both teams dont have a midfield that can make a telling pass. Van Persie has turned into Fred Robben has turned into Lord Lucan and Messi has turned into every Dutch player within 5 yards of him.... Lets hope for more action in extra time....

ARGENTINA 0 HOLLAND 0 (AET)
ARGENTINA WIN 4-2 ON PENS. Surely this was the worst match of the world cup..... I dont think we saw a shot to worry any of the keepers in 120 mins... Neither of these two teams deserves to be in the final and i for one hope the Germans do to Argentina what they did to Brazil. They banged on about Van Gall the other night but in honesty i wouldnt like to have a season ticket at Old Trafford if this is the sort of tactics he will be playing...Boring Boring Boring.... As for Argentina i think they played for pens with Messi not having ONE touch of the ball in Hollands 18 yard box in 2 hours of football..... As for Van Persie i think hes been nearly as bad as Fred and although the goal against the Spanish will live long in the memory the rest of the time he has been on the pitch wont.... Tonights Bets GAME TO BE DECIDED ON PENS @ 5/1......4 points New Balance....-194 The next match we will look at is the third place game on Saturday.

BRAZIL V HOLLAND (Third place playoff) 9pm
It will be interesting to see how these two teams approach this non event game tonight. The Brazilians need to bounce back and save face with a good performance and the Dutch will want to give their manager a decent send off in his last game. Both teams will be shell shocked after losing the semi final but i think Brazil will have a lot more to prove and can win this to get some credit back. I cant believe we wont see at least 5 changes in the Brazil team tonight with Scholari giving a few run outs to players who havnt appeared yet. Surely FRED will not play and i doubt LUIZ and OSCAR will make the starting line up. Holland were poor in their semi and i think we will see Huntelar up front instead of Van Persie who im sure Van Gall will want to save for Man Utd. Tonights Bets BRAZIL TO WIN BOTH HALVES @ 6/1........5 points BRAZIL TO SCORE A PEN @ 8/1......3 points BRAZIL TO SCORE IN BOTH HALVES @ 2/1......10 points WILLIAN TO SCORE AT ANY TIME @ 4/1.........5 points DE GUZMAN TO SCORE AT ANY TIME @ 7/1....3 points Total wagered........26 points

The Golden Ball
This is awarded to the best player in the competition... The Fav @ 5/4 is MESSI closely followed by MULLER @ 11/4 For me these two are not value and i doubt they will win as i think the voting panel will want to give this to a bit of an unknown to boost their popularity with the general football fans around the world who have had enough of "big time charlies" getting all the awards.. So for me its JAMES RODRIGUEZ @ 4/1 (Bet 365) Who i think deserves this award for his 6 goals and great entertainment in this competition.. Im having 20 points @ 4/1............
