Argentina is the most overrated team in this tournament, IMO...The lack of elite competition thus far, and elite play from the forward core have really covered up some glaring weaknesses in their defensive mid field, center defense, and goaltending. I don't think they are nearly as strong as many people would have you believe. If the young Germans can dominate the wing game like they have in every game (save for one), I expect a very very close contest, too close too call, IMO.inferno31 wroteCOLONTerry has been like this all year, its mental mistakes he never used to make. To be honest his instincts were some of the best in the past, but all his off field issues this year have had great influences on his play. Hes been horrible for Chelsea this season he mistimed easy clearing headers almost every game this year, his timing and just ability to read the game are off. Either hes hit a major decline or the off field issues are impacting him a lot more than we'd think.
England have to be younger and faster, the style they play isn't suitable anymore. Rooney I still concede was slightly hurt the way he played all season compared to this tournament. England on the wings used to be a strength, but in 4 years all the veterans will be gone. They need some speed, some creativity and some of that passion the English used to be known for.
At the very least the world cup has opened my eyes to a lot of talents I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
I'm afraid the slow German centerbacks will get ripped apart by that Argentina attack, if England can run at you, Argentina will fuck your shit up.
As for tommorrow, the picks are easy...Brazil and Netherlands, and rather easily too.
