What the fans say

Predicted Score: ARGENTINA 2-0 GERMANY

WHY THAT SCORELINE?

We’ve shown tactical maturity, defence wise, and that should thwart Germany’s chances of moving as smoothly as they did with Brazil. We also had the taste of defeat (4-0) in 2010, and disqualification on penalties in 2006. We also have Messi ...

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS FOR ARGENTINA?

Lack of concentration and the lack of offensive power lately. Also, everyone from the German team can score from different positions and they are more balanced.

Predicted score: Germany 2 Argentina 1

WHY THAT SCORELINE?

I’m not discounting Argentina, but Germany have 11 players who can score and we’re not relying on one person (Messi). If Messi does not ‘turn up’, the whole team goes with him.

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS FOR GERMANY?

The only way they can lose is if the 7-1 win (over Brazil) goes to their heads and they lose their focus, I don’t think it will happen because we Germans are practically emotionless when we need to get the job done.
