FIFA semifinals synopsis

FIFA Semifinals Results:
It’s again Paulo’s monarchy rule in FIFA. Its predictions are ending the team’s kismet. It’s disappointing result for me but I want to complete the blogging on FIFA, so coming up with a small write-up.

Dutch vs Uruguay: The “Hand OF God” Suarez missed this match and it costed Uruguay to enter the finals. Dutch played splendid football and entered finals of FIFA2k10, who could have expected that Dutch reaches the finals. It was a commendable team performance from Dutch. The first half was tied at 1-1 with the captains Van Bronckhorst and Diego Forlan scoring the first goal for their teams.

The second half was more of Dutch’s supremacy. Schneider and Robben gave early breaks taking the lead to 3-1. Uruguay fought till the last minute and the last minute goal reduced the lead to 3-2, which was not enough for Uruguans. So, Dutch entered the FIFA finals for third time and let’s see how it fares in the Final.

Germany vs Spain:
This was the most hyped match and ended on one side’s brilliance and the awful display from other side. Spain dominated the whole match giving no glimpse of hope to Germany and won 1-0 with Puyol’s header. It was very disappointing to see Germans playing the way they did after their superb performance against Argentina. Germans were never in contention.
Paulo’s prediction came as an eye-opener. So finally Spain entered FIFA finals for the first time.

Forecast:
Now we are left with only 2 matches in this FIFA mania. The first match will be played between Germany and Uruguay. Germany should win this to take 3rd place as a consolation win to all its supporters.

The final is between Netherlands and Spain. I am going 50-50 with this match as both are in good form but Spain could be starting as favorites.

Paulo predicted wins for Germany and Spain. So let’s wait for the new champions.
