Most of the french too (who said the only guy with french roots is the coach ?).

Please... :stare:
Off the 31 french guys selected to play in this world cup, 7 :o players have french roots.

*checks whether he made a mistake or not*

Hmm, I think I'm gonna leave this thread, that's it.

Well, they would not have been allowed to fly Messerschmidts in the battle for England, right? As a matter of fact, for example the Poles flew Hurricanes for England, not Germany! :DL Although thwre were foreigners from allied nations fighting in the Axis armies, this was not a rule to a degree that one could say the Wehrmacht or the Luftwaffe were multicultural organisations.

The German scorer of today's match, btw, is one of the players who refuses to sing the german anthem even if the coach wuld demand it (which he wisely does not), pointing to his religious feelings and his Turkish identity. Not that singing the anthem is a big issue for me, many players simply don't do it - but most of these don't do it by habit or because they are too shy to sing loud :). But deliberately refusing to sing it over sentiments for another nation and culture, is something alienating for a national team player, imo. I mean a national team is not like just any internationally composed club team.

But back to football now. :)

USA! USA! USA!

What a match.

Watch out Ghana, we're coming for you.

Well the Aussies pack their bags and head home. Got to admit I whilst I was hopeful early on, once we were smashed by the Jerries I knew were we a very outside chance of going through.

Good luck to England and the USA.:salute:

So, we face zee Germans on Sunday, just great. Although I do have a way for us to win if it goes to penalties (probably will): see if Jerzey Dudek has an english connection:har:......

That dude seems to keep the ball from going to the goal so I don't think it's the UK goalie. :yep:

Anyhoo, more games today.

Fridays match between Brazil and Portugal should be a good one. Im sure Brazil can manage without kaka.

So Italy is out. Have to say, not too sad to see them go as a team although I have nothing against the Italians as people. Just that the final last time was a little unsportmanslike from them.

This is what happens when you let Aryan Santa Claus be your international team manager, you lose and you don`t get a free pizza. Bye Italy :nope:

In my opinion Kaka is far away from his top form. Lets hope we will see from him a thing or two in future.

I heard a rumor about a secret Japan "weapon" and his name is Nakatika Communiake...... wait, i`am sorry its from North Korea :oops:.My bad,my bad :DL

Looking forward to that one, too. Also reserved time in the evening for Spain vs Chile.

I already read and hear about English headlines in the yellow press again, things like "Preparing for the German war machine" and stuff like that. Totally nuts, these Tommies! :D

Me also think like that, i only don`t know who to support :hmmm:, i hate them both (not as a country, as a team) but i will go for England (lost case if you ask me).
