Incredible statistic that isnt it ? Two major forces in the game yet they have never both been in the semi finals together.
Could it be the final for the first time ever too ?

Yes it's unusual although I can recall the teams bumping into each other in earlier rounds such as in 1978, 1982 and 1990.

No. Neither team will get that far. Might be a game for 3rd place for the first time ever though
think they said its also only the second time Germany will have played brazil in a world cup which I found quite surprising
The 2002 final between Germany v Brazil was dire because Germany were rubbish and Brazil were clearly the much stronger side. Now the roles are reversed and I expect Germany to be much stronger than Brazil. 2:0 win for Germany in a boring semi-final
The Holland v Argentina game promises to be a lot more interesting. It's going to be difficult, but I think the Dutch will win it just about.

Neither Argentina or Brazil have looked particularly special (bar Neymar and Messi), to be honest.
I'd much rather see a Germany vs. Netherlands final.

no one has looked particular special, thats why its so exciting for me. if costa rica had made semis i dont think i would give them any less of a chance of winning the whole damn thing lol!
bar the spain mauling holland have not beat anyone by more than one goal margin i think, argentina have not smashed anyone full stop. germany also edging past opponents since game 1 and brazil missing best player and keep being told how poor they are.
i hope for a brazil argentina final but either way it will be a cracker with this final 4.

I would have loved it to be a Brazil v. Argentina with Neymar playing even though the guy was badly injured. Imagine Neymar against Messi who would be crowned best international player this year. Probably Messi or should I say Messiah because he seems to be the only player in Argentina anyone mentions - what about the rest of the players do they not count.
