I don't know about 2018. The current team is not young enough to carry on another 4 years as a unit.

Germany's the 7th youngest team of this world cup with the average age of 25.9

Once the crowd turned on Brazil they kept booing one specific player every time he touched the ball. I believe it was Hulk. Any idea why they chose him?

as blue said it was Fred,.. because he was non factor, and his sub par performance in all other matches..probably Brazilian fans find him to be the weakest link on their roster..

Overall yes but how many of the younger ones are the current starters?

just saw the first half:
-worst half ever played by any Brazilian team.
-absolutely shambolic and atrocious defending by brazil,they looked like they ve never played football in their lives.
-defense errors leading to 4 easy german goals.
-brazil looked like a high school team,really nervous,awful with the ball even worst without the ball.
-have never seen any one of the top 10 teams ever play so poorly and out of character since these players are still some of the highest paid players.worst performance ever by a top seed and a host.
-even germany other than scoring 5 goals were really unimpressive in the build up but i guess there was no need since the Brazilians were playing like a bunch of stoners.

ALMAAAAN played very True Iranian.
Klose reminded me of the Great Ali Daei.

This German team is not only going to win this wc, they're gonna get the next one in Russia too..this team has been the result of some 15 years in the making and after all this time they're now in their best prime shape, and young enough to destroy their opponents in the next some odd years too...
Deutschland uber alles,..indeed!

This is true. When the WC was in Germany, the team started with a super young squad knowing there would be no way they could win at home. They still got a respectable 4th place result. But the plan was actually for 2010. Unfortunately Spain dented that plan and pushed it by several years. I don't know if they can win the WC (the have a grate chance though), but as you noted this young team and the generation following them will be the next Spain for years to come.

Spain took a similar approach by having a 20 year plan which paid off with three consecutive championships. I wished we took lessons from the benefits of proper planning.

I do feel bad for brazil though. They are a very likable bunch of people. For sure some of the most passionate fan.

Unless Brazil comes back and salvages a resounding 3rd place, this loss will have a major impact on Brazil economy and politics.

OMG, this is perfect. Too funny!

[Frank Ocean]

Just imagine the Argis winning the World Cup, it would be a nightmare for Brazilians.

But I'm really hoping for ARG to win it because then we can say we nearly beat the World Cup winners.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

best would be if Brazil loses the game for 3rd spot as well by a marging of 5 goals... that would be best!

I hope Holland thrashes Argentina today as well or at least knocks them out. Argentina have been very lucky thus far and all teams could have punished the for their defensive laps but couldn't due to missing 1 on 1s, missing tap ins, and Romero becoming a beast at times.

Holland and Germany have been the best teams in this WC and it would be a shame if the Dutch can't make it after they thrashed the defending champs and won every game on the way in a convincing manner

Argentina-Brazil 3rd place could be exciting. Both rivals and trying to salvage for 3rd but it won't be like the final of course.

Holland-Germany would be the dream final.
