Predictions for the semis?
Netherlands - Uruguay: 2-0 or 3-1 (unless they get too arrogant; Uruguay should not be underestimated, but
they've lost Suarez now)
Germany - Spain: could go either way; depends on when Spain make their first mistake while attacking. Germany
have scored almost every single goal on a counter, so if Spain manage to score first, and Germany actually
have to build an attack from ground up, it'll be a very different game. I'm rooting for Spain, definitely, so
hopefully, the game will be the opposite of the Argentina match: early goal by David Villa (18 mins), Germany
desperately chasing the equaliser, Fernando Torres coming from the bench, 2-0 at 70 mins, then, possibly,
3-0 as Germany send every man forward.
I'm probably typing out my arse, though.
