LUCKILY I was bringing a group of golfers back from Slaley Hall :dead: How deeply embarrassing....Shrek and co, that overrated, overpaid group of under achievers. There only claim to infamy can be that they have continued that age old British tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...deja vu :nope: Congratulations to Germany, by far the better team. |
I walked away and fed the cats and dogs after the third goal.
Still, we had some good times in this match, about half an hour or so of good play and then we fell apart again. Well done Germany, well played. :salute: |
lol, just lol. We really suck at football, which is a shame seeing as we invented it...

Looks like we'll be looking for a new manager......

The English scrambled into second half like they ended the first one. They owned the second half and never left the German side of the pitch - until the German Doppelblitz struck and broke their morale.
Two historic statistics. It is the highest score Germany has ever scored against England at world championships, and since 1954 Germany has laways made it amongst the last 8 teams. The 3-goal difference has one good thing, that is that it takes away some of the tension about the second Engöish goal that was not given. Even if it would have been given by the referee, that doe snot automatically mean that afterwards the English would have marched through to victory. All in all I think our team has won deserved. It was a win of good team spirit and team cohesion. even the weakness in defence was compensated by that. And different to earlier tournaments, the Germans finally, finally have learned to shoot goals. Argentine vs Mexico this evening. Could become exciting, the Mexicans are agile and hungry. However, I expect the Argentinians to win. Hmn. Beside Italy, Argentine is one of the two classic German Angstgegner. Quote:

At least we didn't have to go through extra time and penalties! If that goal had been given we would've just sat back and not bothered further. Well done Germany!

Also, the German goalie Neuer player really well, made a couple of great saves. Clear win for the Germans in the end. |
I think the Germans wanted the victory more than the English. Or not?:hmmm:

Well, the rest of the UK can safely watch BBC1 and ITV1 without having to put up with all the hype and constant references to 1966!:03:
The gutter press have a very bad habit of building up a team or sports person to a un-achievable pinnacle, then tearing them to pieces when they fail. It won't take much imagination to think what "The Sun" will have on it's front and rear pages tomorrow - and the next 10 or so pages as well!!!! I bet they'll move on to Murray at Wimbledon next. Mike. |
Germany played far better and deserved their win despite the errors from the officials regarding the second English goal.
Now let's see what Argentina will do tonight |
Argentina 2 - 0 Mexico

In fairness I also think Argentina will win but I can't really predict the scoreline. The force must be strong with you :03::O: |
