The World Cup 2014 Semi-Finals Are Here!

It is now just a matter of a few more hours before the World Cup 2014 semi-finals in Brazil kicks off. Host nation, Brazil, as expected, will meet Germany for a spot in the prestigious final. Without striker Neymar, and captain Thiago Silva, Brazil faces an uphill task to overcome a seemingly ruthless, clinical and efficient Germany. The latter of course start as favourites, but in football, anything can happen.

In the other semi-final, Argentina and Holland lock horns in a match where the Argentine team start as slight favourites. But Holland, with the likes of Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder can all prove to be match-winners. Lionel Messi will be a heavily marked man where a low-scoring match is expected, but who knows?

May the best two teams both advance to the finals!
