World cup stories

After Brazil scored the second goal, they started playing like schoolboys. Kicking the ball away aimlessly into the opponent half at every opportunity, they played like they have no strategy, just kick the ball away. Surely they know better that if you give the ball to the opponents, the ball will come back into your half, over and over again. I said to myself, if they continue playing like this, Colombia is going to score soon. Sure enough they did but luckily for Brazil, only one.
When they made the substitution just before the end of the extra time, my thought was that the goalkeeper would not have sufficiently warmed up. Can he then straight away be involve in such a tension packed atmosphere, defending his post. Luckily, he did and Holland won.
We have not seen any outstanding team so far. Brazil have been stuttering along, so is Argentina. Holland and Germany are also through but only just. So who will win the world cup?
