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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
