Germany vs Argentina – 2014 World Cup Final

The Finals of the 2014 World Cup are finally upon us! Germany and Argentina have prevailed over 3 group opponents and 3 head-to-head challengers.

One would have to admit that the two finalists have arrived in quite different fashion. Germany is coming off a most impressive 7-1 victory over home-team Brazil. Argentina, on the other hand, squeaked out a victory in penalty kicks over the Netherlands.

Netherlands vs Brazil – World Cup Pick

While the Netherlands and Brazil have been top performers during this summer’s World Cup, both teams have sputtered out in the semifinals, falling to Argentina and Germany respectively.

Argentina vs Netherlands Pick – World Cup Semifinal

Another classic matchup ensues as the Netherlands take on Argentina in the 2014 World Cup Semifinals. These teams have some memorable World Cup history with each other — a factor which, no doubt, will be stuck in the back of players’ minds.

Brazil vs Germany Pick – World Cup Semifinal

Finally we’ve reached the semifinals. There are few surprises here as many predicted powerhouses Brazil and Germany to advance this far. Unfortunately, one of them must lose now, so who will it be?

There is one massive factor that will swing the decision from one side completely to the opposite side:

Holland vs Costa Rica World Cup – Free Pick

One of the hardest to predict Quarterfinals matches of this years World Cup is Costa Rica vs the Netherlands. On one hand, Costa Rica has been the Cinderella of the World Cup. Defeating Italy and Uruguay in group play, then drawing with England to win a very tough group outright. They followed up with a hard fought victory over Greece in the Round of 16, but they looked less spectacular than 2 weeks ago.

Argentina vs Belgium World Cup – Free Pick

Again we have 2 teams who were expected to win their groups and advance to the Quarterfinals. And again we have 2 teams who have not disappointed. Both have staved off upsets game after game, each winning 4 straight heading into Saturday’s showdown.

France vs Germany World Cup – Free Pick

France and Germany are coming off of similar World Cup performances this year leading into their head to head match. Both were favorites to win their initial groups, and both fulfilled expectations with ease.

Brazil vs Columbia World Cup – Free Pick

Brazil’s road into the quarterfinals hasn’t been as smooth as some might have expected. First, a scoreless draw with Mexico gave us reason to question their level of mastery. Then, a tight match with with Chile in the 1st match of the Round of 16 that easily could have been lost. Chile had ample scoring chances (as did Brazil) and were only defeated in a final penalty kick tiebreaker.
