Balthamael Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 There is a very real possibility that Germany will walk over everyone now. After today's display they are massive favourite to win it all.

Wombat Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Teams with quick counter-attack were mass-produced in this WC but, Germany is probably the most completed one, which would keep Sawyer happy as well as Merkel...
Walsingham Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Clarification: I didn't see Suarez play on the occasion in question. I've been talking about players who deliberately foul/fake to 'win'.

HoonDing Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Germany-Netherlands should be the finals now. Spain will probably attack the entire game against Paraguay, have 75% possession, and lose 1-0. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Nepenthe Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Yeah, when you foul somebody and the other team gets a free kick because of you breaking the rules, YOU ARE A LOUSY CHEATER!!!!1111 Come on, I don't think the guy's a hero and he seems to be on an ego trip, but his foul, considering the stakes, was no more cheating than the abovementioned free kick situation. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
HoonDing Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Who cares about Uruguay or Ghana anyway, they're getting killed in the semis anyway. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Blarghagh Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I'm sorry, but making a foul IS cheating. That's why it's punished. That's why it's called a foul. You make a foul, you cheated, you get punished. End of story. What I'm saying it that the rules should be tightened to prevent people from purposefully cheating for a tactical advantage. Germany-Netherlands should be the finals now. Apparently the old garde of dutch supporters are terrified of this because of the last time. Edited July 3, 2010 by TrueNeutral
HoonDing Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I can't wait for Belgium to play against Germany in the pre-rounds for Euro 2012. Guaranteed comedy gold. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Hurlshort Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 You know, if you aren't cheating, you aren't really trying. This isn't a friendly match between buddies, it's the biggest stage in the world.
Monte Carlo Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Good luck to Germany, after a mixed start their young, adventurous team is becoming fun to watch. If they win it will be well-deserved.

Apparently the old garde of dutch supporters are terrified of this because of the last time. Committing a foul is committing a foul, part of the game. You can't pull off a perfect tackle every time. A really dangerous reckless tackle on the other hand, that would be unsportsmanlike. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
213374U Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 What I'm saying it that the rules should be tightened to prevent people from purposefully cheating for a tactical advantage.Proof, please. Also, **** the ref. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Meshugger Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Villa saves Spain ones again!

Balthamael Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I think in more ways than one it is more correct to say Iker Casillas saved Spain. Whatever Villa did, Casillas was the hero of last night.
Gorth Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Mann, Deutsches Fussball uber alles! That was a pleasure to watch. The second game of the night was just too late (at 4:00 in the morning local time), so I only caught the after action reports on the news sites. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

HoonDing Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 What's pretty funny about Spain is Casillas getting interviewed by his own girlfriend. I bet he didn't like that after the match against Switzerland. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Fallen Ghost Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I think it will be interesting to see if Spain gets past Germany on Wednesday. On paper Germany was about evenly matched with England if only slightly the underdog with 2 less victories and they beat England. Now Spain and Germany are about evenly matched on paper with Spain being slightly the underdog with 2 fewer victories and 5 fewer goals. If they get past Germany then they'll probably win.
Tigranes Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Ah, but Spain has the experience of actually winning a major tournament with a similar team (though they aren't doing anywhere as well in this one), and the quality they've shown *on the pitch* this WC is far above what England has. Not to mention the Spanish aren't crippled by infighting / power play. I think they have a good shot, but they have to do better.

I bet he didn't like that after the match against Switzerland.She only does that sporadically, afaik. Publicly, that is. Spain had the ref on their side, according to jackass manager Yup. Like, totally. Doesn't matter, anyway. Germany has been scary effective so far, and I don't see that changing against Spain. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Balthamael Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I am not seeing where he is accusing the referee of partiality, more like being blind which is par the course for this tournament. As for the demand of apology, I am not sure how the reporter managed to miss the obvious sarcasm. Given that Paraguay really was robbed in the match I think it is entirely understandable that the manager would vent a little.
Fallen Ghost Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Doesn't matter, anyway. Germany has been scary effective so far, and I don't see that changing against Spain. Hmm I don't know.....Germany also lost by a goal to Serbia in the group stage and barely won against Ghana. They did good against England and got a clear victory over Argentina but they aren't anywhere close to infallible.
213374U Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Given that Paraguay really was robbed in the match I think it is entirely understandable that the manager would vent a little."Paraguay really was robbed"? What exactly are you referring to? The goal that was disallowed by Cardozo's offside? Seriously, what? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
