Sergio Romero - The Beast

Sergio Romero Saves The Day

Argentina don't owe it to Messi this time, they owe it all to Sergio Romero. Who would've thought that this man, about whom critics were all over saying he lacked the skill, would actually pave the way for Argentina for the World cup 2014 trophy. Forget the 90 minutes, forget the two halves of additional time, the penalty shootout is what had all the oomph.

Van Persie Or Messi? Who's it gonna be?

Time ticks away and an hour remains till the match between Argentina and Netherlands. The Dutch led by Robin Van Persie and with stars like Arjen Robben and Sneijder to pump in the attack, Argentina's defense has got to have a hard time. Great miracles are expected of the 27 years old Argentinian star Lionel Messi who has won the Ballon d'Or thrice, but Messi is sure to miss Angel di Maria who was ruled out because of a thigh injury in the last match. Messi often relied on di Maria for attacks and in the quarterfinal it was him who took the pass off Messi and tried to score but it took a deflection and became an assist for Gonzalez Higuain who transformed it into a goal.

Is This Really A World Cup Semifinal?

Humilation For Brazil. Germany 5, Brazil 0.

So I wake up all night and am super excited to watch Brazil take on Germany, but they never really "took" on Germany. With the clock approaching the 40th minute, I'm compelled to create this blog because the match is going really crazy. Germany have topped up 2 goals and Brazil had only a couple of attacks, put aside the offside fouls.

Brazilian stalwart Neymar is injured and out, but that is no reason for this humiliation.
In the quarter final match, when Brazilian captain and defender Thiago Silva got a yellow card, their coach Scolari's disappointment was sincere. Having bagged 2 yellow cards, the most celebrated defender is missing this match and Germans are simply massacring the feeble Brazilian defense. David Luiz who has been assigned captaincy for this match, is desperate and helpless. He's doing all he can
