World Cup Semis

Germany (-105) vs Brazil (UNDER 2.5)

Unfortunately the World Cup is almost over, leaving us with another 3.9 years to flush soccer out our heads. Luckily, the final four teams of the 2014 Cup are legit bad asses. We have Brazil, the host team and favorite to win the tourney. Germany, a top 3 team in the world that was a heavy favorite going in. Argentina, led by possibly the best player of the last decade (also heavily favored) and the Netherlands, a team that finished as the runner up in the 2010 Cup.

Unfortunately for Brazilians and fans of the game in general, Neymar, the only player that has lived up to and exceeded expectations for Brazil, is DONE. This truly does suck for the young, insanely talented hair style aficionado. He was dominating the Cup, playing with flash and poise and basically guaranteed himself a ginormous amount of endorsement money. Now, Brazil is fucked. Without Neymar penetrating the box like a young Lexington Steele, the hometown squad has no engine, no boost, nothing. Hulk is garbage, Silva is out and their keeper plays in the MLS. Look for Germany to come out with poise and a business-like attitude as they send the Brazilian crowd into a riot with their insane possession ration and about 5,000 passes. Later Brazil! You weren't that good to begin with!
