VictoriaGooner Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 As for the Golden Ball Award, I put my vote toward Kroos as he has had a hell of a tournament in the midfield for Germany being the midfield general that he needs to be. As for the Golden Glove Award, I will vote toward Navas just ahead of Neuer as Navas was a stalwart getting Costa Rica to the Quarterfinals...great accomplishment. With a good season and standout World Cup, Navas will most likely be going to Bayern Munich this summer if reports are true. Neuer has had some huge saves in the tournament (USA in group stage, France in QF, second half v Brazil). For you Young Player Award, Paul Pogba (FRA), Raphael Varane (FRA) and Memphis Depay (NED), I will have to put my vote toward Juventus' Paul Pogba. This player's talent has been blossoming all 2013/14 season and the World Cup has made him come out as one of the top young players in Europe. Here's hoping Juventus can hold on to him and not let Mourinho and company get their hands on him this summer (he was spotted at Stamford Bridge earlier this week)Here are the kits for both Germany and Argentina, with World Cup Final commemorative stitching.

crashcarson15 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Navas going to sit on the Bench at Bayern is just plain stupid. But hey, whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Navas going to sit on the Bench at Bayern is just plain stupid. But hey, whatever!My thoughts exactly. He would be a PERFECT fit for Atlético. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Italian official Nicola Rizzoli will be in charge of the Germany-Argentina Final on Sunday. He will be assisted by compatriots Renato Faverani and Andrea Stefani, while Ecuadorian Carlos Vera will be the fourth official. He'll be the third Italian to officiate a World Cup Final.

waltere Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So the Brazilians really don't appear to have learned their lesson. Just over quarter of an hour in and they're already 2-0 down and lucky not to have had Thiago Silva sent off.In related news how the hell where Chelsea able to convince PSG to give them £50million for David Luiz??? 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 But let's hope with Neymar Jr on the bench in his kit will be enough of a motivation.I still don't know how Thiago Silva stayed on the pitch with that foul in the first 3 minutes of the match. He was the last man back and stopped a definite goal scoring opportunity. That was proven on the replay and goes against Laws of the Game.

dbadefense1990 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The semifinal and today's 3rd-place game proved that this Brazil team was one of the biggest title-favored frauds in World Cup history. They're essentially the Indiana Pacers of this 2014 World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Doesn't Brazil's exit remind you of the US Hockey team at Sochi- high hopes, but crash in the semis and burn in the third place game? They went reverse- while Sochi saw "close score, but outplayed by a lot" and than "thrashing," they went the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordOfBaltimore Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Going in I thought Brazil would stumble as the tournament got to the semifinals. They seemed a little overrated and inexperienced.
