Hi Mani, I share your feelings and I also congratulate Germany for the excellent way to play.
I would like however be a bit critical. We should also be aware that the excessive frustration and excitement we're seeing is something to worry about. It may seem easy to position myself so, now that Spain is out of the competition, but seeing the riots caused by the defeat in Brazil and the way we also are engaged in a common project that does not solve any of our problems, is also frustrating. Brazil is a country with many real problems and to lose or win the World Cup do not solve it.
Soccer is a sport and not a way to manipulate people (it should not be, I mean).
Kind regards,
Juan
P.S. Good luck to the Dutch fellows tonight
Hi Juan,
nice writing. This is big business for the FIFA only.
South Africa has problems to use some of the football arenas today, and Brasil will face the same.
Who is to blame for? The politicians!!! They are "fighting" for prestigious events (Russia etc.) and have to invest a hell of money into the infrastructure according to the FIFA specs.
And afterwards the FIFA will make profit in Billion of Dollars and the "lower class" people are starving. (South Africa, Brasil and Russia) The Olympic Winter Games in Russia this year costs more than 25 Billion Dollars. Crazy!!!!

Now it is Hollands turn to complete a European final. Van Gaal will look for it, I'm sure.
I'm sure that Peters stock in fluids is big enough to celebrate ...... !
