2014 World Cup: Semi-Finals

What's the severity of Di Maria? Is it serious? That would play a key factor coming into that game. If Di maria is out. Messi will get all the attention, besides Higuain, there really isn't much else as far as talented players of the caliber of Messi, Di Maria and Higuain. 

 

I honestly don't know how this will turn out, but I have a feeling the local teams may get a boost and make it a local final. 

 

I rather see Germans vs Argentina. I don't want to see the dutch win. Yes, I am still salty about that crap Robben pulled. Honestly if Germany or Argentina wins, I would be happy, even if Brazil does too. 

 

At least with the Germans, if they win. You can get a free BJ from a pornstar. lol

Di Maria is out for the rest of the World Cup -- muscle tear. He's Argentina's second best player and feeds Messi the ball quite well (although having a lackluster performance against Switzerland). I think that'll be the deciding factor against Holland in my opinion. Contrary to popular belief, Messi was never carrying Argentina... BUT he will now. Di Maria is a month removed from being named Man of the Match at the UEFA Champions League Final. His loss was massive for Argentina.

 

 

Just what I feared. Ugh.. Holland is going to the finals. I hate them so much but I know they have the best 'healthy' team right now. Brazil without Neymar is not going to beat Germany. Germany is the other great team that will go through. This means its a Dutch vs Germany Final. 

 

Argentina will not be able to handle Robben, Van Persie and Snjieder. Unless someone steps up and takes on Di Marias role. I don't see it happening. Or unless Messi goes beast mode and just balls out against Holland.

Call me crazy, but I think Brazil beat Germany to reach the final.  I think the Neymar injury strangely helps the team by reliving some of the crushing pressure to win the cup on home soil plus gives the team something to rally behind. 

 

The Silva suspension hurts a lot, but the German back 4 hasnt looked too good itself.  Either way, the atmosphere should be outrageous and entertaining as hell to watch

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
