A team, if it wants to win, must play for 90 minutes, not only 20 in the second half like we did against Slovakia yesterday. Add to that lack of ideas, lack of chesion as a group, a sense of superiority (one does not win matches just because has been world champion 4 years before) and lack of clear objectives and possibilities in how exactly to organize the team entrusted to his care in the head of the trainer, the result can only be one: Italy goes home with 2 points, worse than we did in 66 and 74.

Will support Argentina from now on in this world cup.

It's always best to go out to the eventual winners - England knows :)

I hope it'll be a new winner this time, not the usual suspects (Argentina, Germany, Brazil). Was pretty impressed by Japan, really accurate dead ball specialists. Would be nice to see an Asian champion this time around.

So now we will have the epic football-battle „ Deutschland : England“ on Sunday.
What do we do with that?

Imo, from a German viewpoint, at this stage it is probably easier to play England instead the US.

The US boys have already proven themselves and they have nothing to lose. No angry mob is awaiting them at home, if they fail to qualify for the quarter-finals and get sent back home. They are devil-may-care which makes them a dangerous team, not concerned with the burden of football-related enmities and great expectations from its supporters.

Now, if you look at the English team, with the players they can field, one would expect them to win against the German farm team. But unlike coach Capello wants everyone to make believe I fail to see that the English players’ have already “freed their minds” by winning against Slovenia. At least, that is what I am hoping for :-) .

But of course, if they win against the arch rival Germany, I am sure that this would give them the boost necessary to make it to the world cup final.

I’d say, if the German team can avoid an early goal by the English team or even better, take the lead; there are good chances to win the match.

I really, really hope the England Germany game don't go to penalties:damn:

You got a good point..
 

To see a different country as a champion winner, :yep:

LMAO :rotfl2:

LOL :DL

'The Sun': "Defoe Goal Sets Up Clash With You Know Who..."

I didn't know Voldemort qualified?





The Japanese attack hasn't been this well coordinated since Pearl Harbour.

The Sun is going to love this coming game. :haha:

You would know, wouldn't you? Being a typical Sun-reader. :)

:) Now it's official - England you're doomed doomed doomed...!!! :salute:

That beast either has a degree in precognitive statistics, or knows a damn lot more about football than about how to escape from an aquarium. :D

Hello

Well a warm match between Portugal vs Brazil...witch in my opinion it as to be normal to happened... :O:

You can always count on them to tell it how they dream it will be :O:

Ivory Coast done for those naughty Koreans....I wouldn't want to be going back to that sh!thole to find out what kind of 'victory parade' the Inglorious Leader might have in mind :hmmm:

I think you've misread the tea leaves Sky....Paul ate the German mussel :DL

A good game and an honourable draw :yep:

If it were the UK then there would be a Scots accent saying, "We're doomed for sure!". (Dad's Army)

As it is the Scots will be singing Deutschlandied as good as anyone.

But it's England, so chin-up boys, let's show those scoundrels just what we're made of, tally-ho and toodle-pip!

The score, well, 68 - 70 seems good this week!

I should imagine all the teams that failed to qualify (Ireland, Wales and Scotland) will be cheering Germany on this Sunday :DL
