I’ve gone for a 3-1 win to Germany – while it’s equally plausible Argentina will grind out a win (most likely on penalties or a last minute strike from Messi), the Germans have looked much stronger and – to be honest – probably deserve it more.

Well. Well. Well well well!

Regardless of what happens in the final, I’ve got a minimum of 50% correct. I’m happy. The only way to improve that would be the correct score tomorrow – don’t let me down Germany!

Robben is just far too quick, sprinting through the defence before being pulled down by returning skipper Thiago Silva – lucky to just get away with a yellow, most likely due to how early in the match it was.

Up steps the ice cold RvP, who coolly dispatches it past Julio Cesar to give them the early lead. This could be another long night for the Brazilian faithful.

Oh no, David Luiz has not learnt from his mistakes. Instead of clearing a cross out for a corner, a throw in, anything else, he nods it back, right into the path of Daley Blind who controls it expertly and deftly finishes to double the lead – just what the home fans did not want.

If it weren’t for the success of his collaboration with Artful Dodger’s – “Re-Rewind” – it’s unlikely Craig would be in the position he is today.

Darth Vader (more likely known to the youngsters out there as Anakin Skywalker) was the primary antagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy – as a Jedi he was more than capable with that most deadly of weapons.

Prediction: Brazil 1-2 Netherlands
Actual: Brazil 0-3 Netherlands

Much more excited about this than the final. I don’t mind either way to be real, probably a slight preference for Brazil due to Paulinho (not to mention no VdV in the Netherlands squad) but I just want to see a good match. I’m saying it’ll be close, but Netherlands' strength throughout says they’ll just edge it out.

Post match: Ahh, well, I feel Brazil. Nothing has really changed, I feel the Dutch don’t particularly care, but this is a painful one for the home side. There it is though.

Come home Paulo.
