But with the Steel nerved and experienced Germans end result Germans.Look at the presenation below in terms of assists and scores Neymar for Brazil is leading, with Neymar out then Oscar and Hulk have to up their game tremendously.
I'm an AJA man but, for Argentina the closest to Messi (Di Maria) has been ruled out, Messi is trying to hard but with Di Maria out Argentina will struggle plus Argentina has the mean average for old players in this world cup, will they be able to catch up with Robben??
Result Brazil 0 Germany 2
Netherlands 3 Argentina 1
And as I mentioned after the first round games only Germany and Netherlands showed the intention and passion of willing this 2016 WC.
In the game between Germany and France, France seemed to dominate, they just did not find the back of the net. The Germans were lucky with the header, so between the two, I think that France is a stronger team that should have been here now.
On the other side:

Brazilian players entered the Cup as home field favorites carrying national expectation that they would hoist the Cup and expunge the memory of the 1950 loss, still viewed here as one of Brazil's darkest moments, on or off the field.
But now, Brazil is suddenly an underdog freed of these pressures, writes Juca Kfouri, one of Brazil's top columnists, in Saturday's Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. "Without the Brazilian star and captain, the Germans aren't only favorites, but a shoo-in. And that's where the danger lies. For them. Free of the infamy, Brazil has become the underdog."
"If the team wins, it will be even more heroic. If it loses, there is a convincing excuse,"
What excuse can you give for 7 goals. I thought they be hammered three, but 7...
The convincing excuse for the loss can be by the absence their best striker who is also the tournament's top offence play-maker by stats, as well as the absence of their best defender, who is also their captain. Loosing by a large margin might be because of a lack of synergy with the new players filling those critical roles, as well as being psychologically unprepared entering a critical match knowing that vital parts of the team were missing. Let's see how collected they will be in the 3rd place playoffs, this time with Silva. Whatever the reasons were, they played played terrible for a semi-final. Their last game will complete the story, telling us if it was just a one time mess-up or if there is something seriously wrong with the team.
They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.
