[twentythreedom]

Come on my German brothers! I'm at Luton airport, just landed from Hamburg. I bought a St Pauli top

 

[editor]

I'm bored with this game.

 

[ska invita]

wheres the panic at going out from france? england may also lose a game like this to germany, but they at least manicaly hoof it up in desperation

 

[ska invita]

great save, powerful arm

 

[Doctor Carrot]

What a disappointingly dull match.

 

[ska invita]

i wonder if the german manager ever smiles?

 

[starfish]

Hope tonights is slightly better.

 

[ska invita]

Hope tonights is slightly better.

its sure to be

these early games are often slower to the evening games, but theres no way colombia and brazil would play like that

 

[ska invita]

it was a really skillful header - really hard to do that

 

[Silva]

terrible display by France. Didn't even bother to show up and put some pressure on Germany, who played like someone who got a lead early and managed the rest of the game.

 

[juice_terry]

Yawn.. I'm very disappointed by France was a let down of a game.. let's hope tonight offers better fare

That does seem to be the case so far.

 

[agricola]

I missed all but the last six minutes of that game, and still feel that my time was wasted.

 

[Kaka Tim]

yeah - that was dull. Like watching germany at Italia 90.
france were halfarsed throughout.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Worst game of the competition by a mile.

 

[Silva]

Worst game of the competition by a mile.

have we forgot the horrors of Iran ?

 

[editor]

That game was fucking awful.

 

[Gingerman]

Did France know that was a world cup 1/4 final? ,compare and contrast that with America's fight to the end of the Belgium game.

 

[Gingerman]

Germany's 20th major semi final (World cups and European championships)...astonishing record

 

[mack]

What a shit game - don't know what the French were thinking.

Anyway I am alone in being annoyed by Mullers insistence on rolling his socks down by his ankles?

I thought there was a thing where the players had to have their socks pulled up.

 

[Badgers]

The game was not great. Was expecting a cagey one here. The German players came off barely sweating which is some achievement given the heat. France were poor throughout and the Germans did not really have to try.

 

[magneze]

The French couldn't be arsed. Bizarre. Maybe they caught the flu off the Germans.
