Congratulations to Germany, FIFA 2014 World Champs!

Come on, they're not gonna let two European countries play for the title...AND they want Messi in the final to draw more viewers...AND Argentina just isn't good enough to beat Germany.

1. Tinfoil hats off, please

My Brazilian friend and her partner are convinced that yesterday's result was staged. Srsly? Both the injury to Neymar and the accumulation of yellow cards by Silva?

2. Keep them on!

Money is what FIFA's all about!

3. After What I Saw on ESPN, You Couldn't Be More Correct

They showed the suites the FIFA bigshots are staying in.

Things are bigger than my house! Flying in on private jets but didn't even fill them. 6 people on a 12 seater so they just got more 12 seaters. Naked money grab.

4. The interest on the money they got from Qatar...ie....bribes...

To give them the 2022 bid is enough to get about a dozen more of those planes.

5. Great One, Joey!

And a point well made.

13. Yeah, and now that Brazil is out,

There's more questioning about whether the spending was worth it when there's so much suffering...I say it wasn't. The Olympics will even more protests if things don't turn around.

7. This is what happens

When the Red Sox suck someone has too much time on their hands to make tin foil hats.....

8. Bow Down Before Me!

You KNOW I'm right!

[joeybee12]

9. LIke I said...

[TZ]

10. Not over yet

And if it truly was all about the money I think Brazil would still be in it

[joeybee12]

12. They got as far as they did because of money...

Did you see their first match?
