The buck toothed Brazilian player who played at Barcelona and now AC Milan. He does fancy tricks with a football and has really bad teeth.

Don't worry I didn't quite get what Aaza said.

Also I don't really follow football just "jumped on the bandwagon" for the World Cup. But looks like I might have Yellow Fever now

Holland vs Argentina Final methinks

Brazil whilst looking good have not faced a team with the systematic implementation of plans like the Netherlands can carry out, which will frustrate them as they wont be allowed time on the ball

All assume Holland don't implode, like they usually do

Argentina look way way to strong for anyone on that side of the draw, Spain hasn't done anything to make me think they can beat them

[Bull]

Lionel Messi is Chuck Norris in disguise. Argentina = instant win

[KSR Aaza]

Argentina look way way to strong for anyone on that side of the draw

Argentina haven't been tested by a team that has run at them - something Germany will do. However, the Germans haven't had to defend too much so Messi and Tevez could rip them apart.

Brazil just haven't had any quality opposition but with Kuyt playing on the left, Netherlands will nullify Maicon and take that match.

Provided Uruguay get their best 11 playing, Ghana have no hope and if Villa continues his current form, Paraguay will be gone rather quickly.

Netherlands, Uruguay, Germany and Spain will win.

[Obsc3ne]

Messi

That is why Argentina will win

[KSR Aaza]

You're forgetting Özil though!

If Messi can be kept quiet, he will be largely ineffective but Schweinsteiger and Khedira are players that are highly unlikely to man mark him for the entire game.

In other news, Winston Reid may be going to Blackburn Rovers!

Soccer: Winston Reid set to sign for Blackburn - report

Ryan Nelsen's English Premier League side, Blackburn Rovers, are reportedly poised to sign star All Whites' defender Winston Reid.

Blackburn's interest was reported by soccer website goal.com which says the club's coach Sam Allardyce is considering teaming Reid with club captain Nelsen in the central defence.

Reid, who stars for FC Midtjylland in the Danish league, has made no secret of his desire to move to the EPL.

His stunning last minute equaliser against Slovakia and pivotal back three role in an All Whites defence that conceded just one goal from general play is also understood to have sparked interest from Arsenal.

The 21-year-old former Danish age group representative moved to Denmark as a teenager to pursue his soccer career and was in consideration for Denmark's World Cup squad before switching allegiance to the All Whites earlier this year.

Blackburn has made no official comment on their interest in signing Reid.

Goal.com isn't a great source and I haven't read it anywhere else but it seems very logical for him to join and then take over Ryan Nelson's role at Blackburn.
