I agree, the level that England, Italy, and Portugal showed was perhaps some of the worst. The English showed nothing, aside from Sterling and Surridge (at times), they were some of the worst. An aging squad that showcased the reality of their local talent in the EPL. Fantastic league, but nothing to be proud of at national level. They werent the worst because Honduras was there lol.
Portugal was a one player team, long are the days of Figo and Rui Costa, even Paulo Bento in the mid. Just nothing to show for. Italy side gave a fantastic first game and then disappeared, its just missing the ferociously attack minded forwards like Inzaghi and Vieri. Creators like Del Piero and Totti were nowhere to be found. Sadly Italy is lacking local talent.
The Germans and the Dutch have more or less remained consistant. I had no doubts the Germans were going to get far and today they couldnt miss even if they wanted to. Today wasnt a Brazil loss it was a win with authority by Germany. They came and played their game and showed what everyone saw from the first game, this Brazil wasnt unbeatable at home.
I was really looking forward to the Brasil Vs Germany game but it was probably the worst game of this tournament so far. Brasil seem to be so out of depth, a real shame.
Feel sorry for the Brasilian fans, not a good way to exit this tournament especially one they are hosting!

What's your choice
OK, I've been trying to scan that QR code for over an hour now, but it won't work!
If some of the above teams were able to look beyond the big names, they might do well. The English particularly for overlooking young talent and putting too much pressure on young and upcoming talent with huge transfers to teams where they rot on the bench. The English team is more of a fantasy team.
Italy I think will be fine. Their main problem was playing for a draw and they got BIT
Look at the German and Dutch teams. There are the stars and enough new names for me to research on i.e. not household names on the international scene.
I honestly had never head Blind and the other center, because well Ajax is really on the low end of European football. Surprisingly the two dutch centers have been good for the most part.
Hup Holland Hup! ;-)
I swear dresses these days just keep getting shorter and shorter!!
Not that I'm complaining
Germany have a habit of grinding out results...Not the most exciting team in the world
Excuse me?
Just finished watching Brazil vs Germany replay. Wow! I thought the German national football team is playing the Brazilian junior varsity team. I have to recount the players on the field cause I thought Brazil is only playing 10 players.
I picked Brazil to go all the way but everything went to sh!t.
No marking, no tracking, no closing down. The passing at the final third is atrocious with grade school defending.
Brazil should skip the 2017 Confederations Cup and save it for Russia World Cup 2018.
Capitulation on the 25th minute. I thought Brazil will come out in the 2nd half in white jerseys.
I mean where's the Brazilian pride.

Argentina v Holland
very very Boring First half! Both teams look very cagey
Argentina look better but not by much
Robben and van persie have gone missing! no supply
Dutch need to take a few risks if they want to get to the final otherwise Argentina will win!

tea break now and then extra time. Hoping it goes all the way to penalty shootout
I hope not ;-)
Yes I agree. The German wrath will hit whoever cross their way. But seriously I was expecting a great game today unfortunately both teams are not performing and we will either have Messi scoring at the end or penalty kicks.
