First match I watch in this tournament - and then such a match!! Wowh. Just wowh. Most dramatic final I can remember.

Win for Argentine – congratulations.

...as predicted: it's the PK shootout...and Argentina just got one! Lloris falters. Argentina gets another! France finally gets one...but Argentina nails a third! "And that's the ball game": 6-4; Argentina takes it. Messi crowns his career with a WC. And my wife, who hates sports but has indulged me all WC-long, immediately changes the channel to White Christmas!? :yep::O::shucks::roll::nope::

What a game......!:yeah::wah: Bravo to Argentina!:salute:

The best team won and I'm actually quite pleased for Messi.

Welcome but I notice you have not posted a link so I hope your intention is not to do so at a later date.

Welcome aboard!

I won a bet against my father this evening. He asked what my tip for the football match between Germany and Japan would be. I said "1:4". He said: "Never. They throw the rudder around now." Well.

Glad I did not watch it. The reviews in the newspapers are scathing.


9 months or so until the European tournament in Germany. If I were a player, I'd get knocked up real quick now, give birth in nine months, and apply for paternity leave so I wouldn't have to play. :D

German national coach Hansi Flick got fired. Its the first time ever that the DFB has actually fired a coach.


Meanwhile, the German basketballers became sensatiolly world champions, beating Serbia and the US in nailbiters and being the only team that finished tournament without a single loss. Team spirit at its finest - and the exact opposite of the football team.

Heard about it in the news some hours ago.

Do not know who are gonna take over from him, what I do know is:
The new coach are in for some hard work. He has a huge task in front of him.

Immer untertreiben, eh? :D
At the time of typing this, this team is not even second class anymore, but third class at best.
I say it's something in the inner attitude of players, as humans , not just players, it goes beyond footballing, and reflects fundamental changes in the collective German psyche.


They need a psychiatrist as much as they need a football coach.


In other words they need me! :haha: :D

As i heard Germany just won against world champion France 2:1.

No, Rudi won it all alone, if the press is right.
:D

^ :rotfl2: so true :D
