Germany v Portugal (Group G) Monday 16th June 2014

[binka]

We haven't played germany in this tournament.

what is it with you and all the wc forum lurking??

 

[Epico]

hopefully england gets to play germany again in this tournament. in south africa, for some crazy reason, england were actually favourites with the bookies. had £300 on a germany win

It's a 'risk' exercise when compiling odds, rather than a statistical prediction of who's most likely to win.

yes i know that. my point was england fans were backing england so much that germany's odds were ridiculous

 

[Badgers]

Not much going Portugals way so far. Goal down, yellow card, player injured and already used up a substitute.

They look like they could equalise given some space or a good break.

 

[imposs1904]

Fingers crossed this is a shit game. My three year old won't let me watch it.

 

[Badgers]

Boom

 

[twistedAM]

All quiet on Stockwell Road

 

[Lo Siento.]

Good at set pieces, rapid on the break, great in possession. Hard to see what could go wrong for Germany...

Things getting better now - they've just gone 2-0 down and we all know it's very bad to be 2-0 up, so things are looking up for Portugal

 

[Sunray]

While Portgual do look quite good. The Germans are far more productive as per usual.

 

[binka]

pepe is such a liability, what's wrong with him?

 

[Badgers]

Bye bye Pepe...

 

[Belushi]

Pepe

 

[Epico]

Pepe, Pepe, Pepe...

 

[N_igma]

Pepe you tit!

 

[Lo Siento.]

Oh Pepe, you crazy bastard

 

[Lord Camomile]

Those playing World Cup bingo just got a little closer to "house".

 

[Sunray]

That's the end of that. Was looking like an OK game, oh well.

 

[butchersapron]

Mugged as fuck. Well done germany.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yay for over-elaborate free kick routines! Seem to see less of those nowadays.

 

[binka]

feeling very smug about my £20 on germany outright at 12/1

 

[Lord Camomile]

You can see Muller almost overreact to the headnudge too, before thinking "no, I don't think there's any chance I could get away with that..." and squaring up instead Love his exaggerated indignation though - "you can't touch me with your head! What the fuchens do you think you're doing?!"

They have to beat the Dutch total in the bashing of Iberia.

Cynical bit of manipulation, wasn't it? I do reckon they should change the rules on violent conduct. I don't think what Pepe (or Pogba) did meaningfully constitutes violence.

 

[Voley]

Whoah. They're stuffing em.

 

[Badgers]

Three up and the ten men of Portugal are not getting exhausted yet

 

[goldenecitrone]

Why are Germany and Italy always (well, mostly) so good. It's amazing. Not even half time and Portugal are dead in the water.

 

[twistedAM]

We want six. Bring on Klose for a run out and the extra 3 goals.

 

[Sunray]

I think he just misjudged bending over, which is quite easy to do and got sent off.

Its all about how many now.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I missed the goal because a colleague needed help - that'll teach me to watch the WC in the office
