Germany vs Spain

[TrippyLondoner]

I get to enjoy the humiliation of Germany playing the dullest wc match, the 3rd/4th place playoff.

 

[g force]

Dodgy defence eh?

 

[George350r]

This game pretty much shows how shit Argentina was in the quarters

 

[Lord Camomile]

Imagine how good Spain would be if they actually had a couple of in form strikers. They seem to want to pass and then dribble the ball into the net.

Villa's in pretty good form

I know, he ain't two players though

 

[Obnoxiousness]

Cause they aren't as great as you've thought this whole tournament.

But if they beat Holland, then what does that make them?

They haven't yet but good performance tonight, not thrilling but good.

[DexterTCN]

That old holland stuff was brill

Motson just confessed that the first time he met Cruyff he suggested to him "Let's go up to the bedroom and do it there"....

I think we are all watching the same TV.....

 

[big eejit]

Klöse but no cigar.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Has Robben played at Robben island this WC?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Erm....is this man a bit strange or is it just me?

 

[weltweit]

I was rooting for Spain for family reasons but the Germans really made me sweat in the final few minutes, they looked so close to an equaliser. It was quite nerve wracking.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

oh british GP on sunday too didnt know that

thanks seedorf for the justification of holland *breathes easily now*

 

[g force]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Cruyff is my favourite footballer of all times.

Puyol with the power of 80s speed metal!

 

[Spion]

Spain: boring but effective

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Octopi

Octopodes. Or octopuses would do fine. Gr root, not L.

Thought they deserve it from what i could see. Good possession and lots of attempts to get the ball into the box.

Ironic that it was a corner and not their passing that did it for them in the end though.

 

[T & P]

Just got back from the pub. Fucking YEEESSS! !!!

I had always thought Germany had as good a chance of winning it as Spain but I really did not think if Germany won it would have been by a large margin. Spain does play a lot better against good strong opposition than 'park the bus' sides. Still not as nice and flowing football as in the Euros, but I've seen teams win the WC on far poorer performances.

Holland will be a very difficult opponent and I don't think there is a clear favourite, but fucking chuffed just to be in the final all the same.

 

[goldenecitrone]

New Spain would win this. Great goal from Puyol. Feel a bit sorry for the Germans but this is Spain's World Cup. I hope.

 

[T & P]

On a completely unrelated note, I can't find an image to compare right now, but am I alone in thinking Germany coach Joachim Low looks a lot like The Amazing Randy magician bloke off Eurotrash?

 

[twistedAM]

Why? He only does German games doesnt he?

I'm pretty sure the aquarium will seek extra publicity by getting him to do it again. I would lay a bet on him choosing the flag with the most red in it ie Spain.

Anyway Germany can leave the tournament with some pride and the two form teams in Europe have made it to the final.

Dunno about where the rest of you watched the game but it was actually pretty weird watching the match and everyone in the pub bar one drunken provocative twat wanting Germany to win.

 

[The Octagon]

Pedro must be pretty relieved! Shame he fluffed that that chance to put Torres through, could've lifted Nando immeasurably if he'd scored. Still reckon he'll repeat the 08 EC final and score the winner...

I was thinking that too, Torres' confidence would have been up going into the Final, which could make all the difference....

Considering this German side was meant to be an experiment with youth, god knows how good they could be in 2 - 4 years time

I watched it in Holland, with my German GF and her mum, surrounded by about 50 Spanish fans

Was a good, fun, loud atmosphere and my support now goes to my third team, Holland, for the final

 

[Gym Beam]

Hate to gloat, but fuckit I will. Germany were lucky to get nil and the Spanish possession game left the Germans without a Plan B. Spain were clinical. Vamos Puyol!!!

Wait until the english media start overhyping him.
