What's even more amazing is they'd never qualified before 1974 - where they reached the final.
Since both countries I am a national of -Chile by birth, Spain by blood- have been eliminated, I'm currently rooting for Germany.
Argentina finally woke up! I'm still not optimistic about their chances of defeating Netherlands, but it's great to see them playing the kind of lovely soccer they're capable of.
Noooo!
They can't win!
I love my transandean neighbours, but with both a World Cup and a Pope under their arm, they won't stop rubbing it all over our faces!
That's like controlling the entire Latinamerican pantheon (they already have Maradona).

Everyone ready for an all-Europe Final?!?
I'm hoping for an all-american one, but if Argentina beats Brazil in the final, we'll never hear the end of it. Talk about Maracanazo 2.0. :P
Seriously, though, at this point I would not be surprised by any combination of teams in the final.
The semi-finals looks really great, and yeah, every final combination. That said, I think Germany will win against Brasil; Brasil casualties are really serious ones.
I will like Argentina winning the cup, but everyone of the 4 teams can be a really appropriate winner.

Go Germany!

Nono, the surname is VAN der Kroft, not VON der Kroft, ergo, you should want Netherlands to win. ^^
Wish I was in Rio - it's raining there.
Müller!!!!! Müller!!!!!!!!!!! Müüüüüüüüüüüüülllllllllllleeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thomas Müller scored his 9th goal in his 9th world cup game
more than players like Maradona, Rivaldo or Völler (all 8)
from active players only David Villa (9 as well) and Klose (15) are near
otherplaery with 9 goals are
Roberto Baggio (16 games) italy
Eusebio (6 games!) portugal
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (19 games) germany
Paolo Rossi (14 games) italy
Uwe Seeler (21 games) germany
Müller has now reached the goal-level of:
- Gabriel Batistuta-Gary Lineker
-"The Boss" Helmut Rahn
Only seven players have scored more than 9 goals in world cup history
who wants to tell me now Thomas Müller is NOT considered one of the 25 best players in the world ?
.........I am spechless
I'm watching the game with my friends and we are actually laughing right now. Thiis is historical. :)
Wow. That just went from remarkable to humiliating.
Someone better show the Brazilians the highlights from Germany - Sweden at halftime.
.......
o.O
........
O.O
Oh shi-!
Germany! I wanted you to win, not to murder the Brazucas!
I mean, in the course of me typing this post, you scored a 5th goal!
Come on!

5-0...
In the words of Marvin Gaye: What's going on?
This is like the 98 final, only more so.
Wow. That just went from remarkable to humiliating.

I thought about that match as well
Löw should remind our players about that as well
Spending all that World Cup money on hospitals, schools and infrastructure doesn't sound like such a bad idea now...
Wow... the "maracanazo" of 1950 with Uruguay will be absolutally forgotten after that. Whoever wins the other semi-final will feel the terror of that Germany.
Sheesh. I don't even know what to say.
Finaly, the torment is over. The deluge of football related crap on my facebook news feed will cease. I had to unfriend a few people.
and thank you so much for letting us know

We're already calling it the Yellow Wedding.
I hope Brazil try to 'win' the second half and not just avoid a record spanking.
They're attacking pretty hard, so at least it's not boring! But if they don't get any payoff from all that effort soon, I suspect they will completely deflate. It's also pretty risky.
But props for not just giving up.
And Neuer keeps on keepering at a world class level. Goalie of the tournament so far for my money.
The pain just won't stop. 6-0! :p
Tennis!
The biggest win in a World Cup knock-out game is Sweden's 8-0 win against Cuba in 1938 - I'm starting to worry about that record.
