Youre mistaking Germany for any South American team. -)
No mate, I was mistaking them for Spain. Germany? Bunch of losers, always was, always will be 
Whats with all the hate for Germany? If youre trying to be sarcastic or funny then please excuse me, Ive obviously got the wrong end of the stick. However, if youre not I just dont understand where all this hatred is coming from, or why.
Also, and this one is for Eagle, is that I really dont understand how you can "support" Germany and consider yourself "one of them" when it seems you have no ties to the fatherland in any shape or form and are in fact 100% English/British. This has come from one of your earlier posts.
Would you like us to take Argentina apart for you?
For a start it really confuses me, and secondly it really grinds my gears too. Youre English, you support your national team, thats how it works. Its not like club football where you can choose the team you support from a number of different factors; such as locality, style of play, good old glory hunting or even how good their away kit looks on your girlfriend.
I just do not understand how you can even come to that decision. I mean, national team is more than just supporting a club. Its the whole national identity. Do you hate the dutch? do you cheer on Germany in any other sports? If so do you completely ignore sportsmen from Great Britain? do you eat bratwurst, drink becks and go to oktoberfest wearing lederhosen?
If you dont, then Im not sure you can use the pronoun "us" when referring to the German national team
There is of course nothing wrong with supporting Germany. I myself wanted them to do well at the tournament, and after they had beaten England there was nothing really stopping me from wanting them to do well. It would have been wrong, however, to have wanted them to do well when playing against England.
I dont think they would have beaten spain in the final, had they not met in the semi finals that is. Spains style doesnt really leave them open to many pacy counterattacks that Germany seemed to favour.
I think the best game of the tournament was the Italy v Slovakia game. It felt almost like a semi final really, or at least a knockout match (thats because it was
) It was literally one end to the other in the final 20-30 mins. The officials had some tough calls in that game, but I feel they got it right (incidentally the ref in that game was Howard Webb). I remember ITV banging on about how good the linesman was, so good in fact that when someone was offside he gave it as offside.
I honestly don know how ITV got the coverage of the World Cup, it was just so f**king sh*t. They had a sh*t presenter in Chiles, then they had that wanker andy townsend, some black dude called lucas (never seen him before in my life) and edgar davids + gareth southgate. I left those two til last cause they were the only ones who I didnt think were c**ts.
The BBCs coverage, however, was excellent...........well apart from shearer and lee dixon, and maybe at times alan hansen for being too smug. But apart from that I think Seedorf was good, and so was Roy "Woy" Hodgson. Its just a shame that Lineker doesnt get to be a pundit himself, with him having to host it and all. I reckon hed knock the others into a cocked hat if he was allowed to analyse stuff after the game and what not. Hed just be so eloquent and correct!
