Great comeback by laois.

Tipperary footballers on the rise. Half time laois 1-3 Tipperary 2-10

 Golden Ball (best player) short-list: Di Maria, Hummels, Kroos, Lahm, Mascherano, Messi, Muller, Neymar, Robben, James Rodriguez.

Cavan at home to a side around the same level as themselves how much of a upset would it be. Cavan still upset over the Armagh defeat that might drive them on tonight.

"It is with a heavy heart that I leave Liverpool for a new life and new challenges in Spain." he doesn't look too heavy hearted in that above picture. Pardon the pun but Liverpool will lack that extra little bite in attack next season. How he fits in with Messi,Neymar should be worth watching and who Liverpool replace him with could make or break their season.

Repeat of 1990 world cup final and probably a repeat result.

Any one else feel that Brazil kind of got what was coming to them?

All the emotional crap before the games, the constant praying and posturing. In my mind they had completely lost the run of themselves and couldnt hack the occasion. The final straw was bringing out Neymar's jersey pre game, yes they want to show solidarity with their team mate but its not like he had died or that he even had a career threatening injury, they seem to have got so carried away with all that stuff and actually forgot to prepare mentally for the game.

Still difficult to decipher if Germany were just different class or that Brazil were just simply woeful, maybe a little of both me suspects.

Brazil were found out.  A distinctly average team.  One thing they might learn is that waving a shirt and shouting and blubbing during the anthem will not a World Cup win.  Even with Silva and Neymar they still would have been hammered.

shows how important Silva was to that Brazilian defence and he and Neymar should make it onto the team of the tournament.

Dublin City Council statement in full:
"Dublin City Council is very disappointed at Aiken Promotions' decision not to proceed with the three Garth Brooks concerts that had been licensed for Croke Park.
"The City Council has sympathy for those ticket holders who purchased tickets for the performances.
"Dublin City Council hopes that Aiken Promotions will reconsider its decision. Once again, we would like to reiterate that Dublin City Council granted a licence for three concerts.

Glorious for the Germans and embarrassing for the Brazilians. If the Irish were shipping this type of defeat at least the supporters would entertain themselves by singing the fields of Athenry.

Score? No tv or rádio.

0-5

The Brazilian defending the worst ever seen in a world cup semi final.

Good sub won it for the dutch however krul on Costa Rica who were the fairytale
story of this world cup.

The Germans should have more than enough to defeat that Brazilian side.

59 million pounds and Sanchez not part of the deal.
