    I'm really beginning to get a little nervous about the semifinale tonight. I'm sure it's going to be a tough match; Brazil is very unpredictable without Neymar. And I sure hope they won't play as roughly as they did vs. Columbia! 54 fouls in one match, and the referee did nothing about it!

    It will sure be interesting! We know who you will be rooting for, Kirsten! And I am thinking there will be pressure on the referees to do more about the fouls, even if Brazil is the host country!

    Funny, even the Google doodle today is dedicated to the referees and their new "free kick spray".

    I didn't understand the doodle until I read about it. Shows how much soccer I've been watching. Good tournament, though!

    No worries Kirsten! i wrote I was sure that Germany would win, and hey my prediction is correct: only 28 minutes in first half, and it's already O - 5 for Germany

    This spray is a new thing, never saw anyone use it before.

    Lut, isn't it just unbelievable??? It's only half time, and Germany scored five times already!! I could hardly believe my eyes, never saw something like this before. After all, this is the SEMIFINAL of the WORLD CUP!!

    Brazil 0 - Germany 5 (!!!)

    Yeah - that's like a baseball game score, not what we expect from World Cup games!

    I agree with Karen -- 7 to 1 sounds to me more like a score from a baseball game! I heard about it on news radio and then changed to the all-sports station to hear more about it.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
