Balthamael Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wombat Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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.

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.

Balthamael Posted July 4, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted July 4, 2010 Share 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 Share Posted July 4, 2010 What's pretty funny about Spain is Casillas getting interviewed by his own girlfriend.

Fallen Ghost Posted July 5, 2010 Share 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 Share 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.

Balthamael Posted July 5, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly are you referring to? The goal that was disallowed by Cardozo's offside?
