England v Germany

[Proper Tidy]

Yet more mullets.

Mullets of Champions

 

[TrippyLondoner]

They're missing a trick there, not making up a song about it.

indeed.

 

[not-bono-ever]

fuckin hell, I forgot Bertie vogts won a WC

 

[QueenOfGoths]

In the interests of fairness I expect all non-Englishers to be dressed like this on Sunday

and all Englanders like this - with beards please!

Don't mention the war

 

[Lord Camomile]

I've never got that one. The world wars, fair enough, although an odd thing to celebrate.

But the world cup? You people do realise they have won three, don't you? And three european championships, too, including that one in 1996 when, apparently, football was due to come home...

This has always been a stumbling block for me too. It does seem rather short sighted.

3 world cups (but not against you), and 3 Euro Championships!

And don't mention any wars!

What is it with English fans and the Great Escape tune? Hardly going to lift spirits is it? It's like starting every game 3-0 down and hoping for a miraculous escape from defeat. And what happens at the end of that film? All the English are mown down in a hail of bullets having fucked it all up. Very fucking inspirational.

yeah, but come on, that band is shit in every way. Their choice of song is the least of their fucking problems.

Schadenfreude

 

[not-bono-ever]

I blew my cover today at work when Slovenia nearly scored - people do get rather serious about this dont they ?

Anyway, Germany are my Second team since a decent couple of trips to internationals Vs Germany

Schadenfreude

Football is 90% Schadenfreude.

Which is lucky for you, I suppose.

 

[RaverDrew]

Anyone that thinks we wont get pissed on, and thrashed by the Germans is seriously deluded.

They are gonna reap serious revenge for that famous 5-1

drei Weltcupe (aber nicht gegen Sie) und drei Euromeisterschaften!

That needs a little finessing, and perhaps would be better not translated through Babelfish, but it's a start.

What tune, I wonder. What was the theme tune to Das Boot?

 

[Proper Tidy]

The British one has been inbred to the point of pointlessness?

 

[not-bono-ever]

seriously ?

I think it will be tight. and I have this awful feeling in my guts that the new improved INgerland will sneak a win

I'm pretty sure Das Boot didn't have a soundtrack.

Perhaps something by Kraftwerk.

Ironic that we're a nation of imports. Except certain parts of the islands that no-one else really bothered about.

the whole thing has a certain resonance

I am bookmarking your post for later use.

You seriously don't think that Germany have a prayer against England's momentous, steamrolling, developing, strengthening, South African beer fuelled form, do you?

I wonder if Hasselhoff's free this summer?

Norfolk?

I think you will find, sire, that Wales is home to some of the oldest immigrant populations in the UK, and is really rather diverse.

Proper Lol

bookmark it just like that post where I said the Aussies wouldn't get a single goal at this World Cup !!!

No, it all just comes naturally to me.

Is that code for "full of sheep"

 

[twistedAM]

I'm hoping Lennon is picked, because there are only two real weaknesses in that German side. Not having a good left back, and Merteszacker being somewhat cumbersome at left central defender.

Anyhow. It's a "proper" world cup with an England Germany match.

They could always bung Lahm in there who could counter when Lennon loses the ball.

Multicoloured sheep. I met a nice Afghan the other night.

This will be a great tie. Germany looked really good against Ghana tonight and further improvement will be required if we're going to beat them.

The winner will probably play Argentina. We are now in the hardest half of the draw.
