Ghana are good but I think Germany have the best record overall for reaching quarter and semi finals - even better than Brazil.

Either you're capable from the get go, or not.
In every World Cup an element of luck is required to win. The element of luck required is somewhat greater the better the team's you have to play.

I think we will overcome Germany but frankly the Argentinians and Brazilians look a cut above every one else at this tournament.

There should be a really good skied over the bar effort by someone. It's not good enough just to scuff it straight at the keeper.
