That was by far the best game so far this world cup! And we played the best soccer so far!

Of course not all teams have been playing so far and Australia wasn't doing much on the field, but yeah it was the most interesting game so far! :)

Very surprised, but also proud we played that good.

Now I can't wait to see Holland and Spain! Two of my favorites on the title!

Six Bayern players, Bayern captain and vice captain, Özil on top of his level plus no Ballack equals a dangerous and well playing squad.

SCHLAND!!!
 
What I liked about the Germans is that they didn't stop playing football after the first goal, unlike Argentina and England. Hard to draw any conclusions from the match. The Aussies were atrociously bad. A really poor performance. No way they can survive the group stage, particularly now that Cahill is out. Without Kewell and Cahill, I don't know how they can score goals.

The Germans were really impressive. But that doesn't move them automatically to the top of my list of favorites. I remember too well how the Spaniards used to destroy everybody in the group stage in past World Cups only to crash out against the first real opponent in the knockout rounds.

Germany should be a safe bet for the quarterfinals, though.
 
What's All This Hummmmmmmmming at the World Cup?

The constant drone of cheap and tuneless plastic horns is killing the atmosphere at the World Cup.

Where are the loud choruses of "Oooohhsss" from enthralled crowds when a shot scorches just wide of the goalpost? And the sharp communal intake of breath, the shrill "Aaahhhhss," when a goalkeeper makes an acrobatic, match-winning save? Or the humorous/moving/offensive football chants and songs?

Mostly, they're being drowned out by the unrelenting water-torture beehive hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm of South African vuvuzela trumpets. Damn them. They are stripping World Cup 2010 of football's aural artistry.

Ummm, yeah. Whaduya think? :dunno:

agree. Very exciting, not only because of the amount of goals, but because Australia IMO actually played well. Never surrender, from my POV.

yeah, agree. Hunger for glory, hunger for winning, hunger for proving his quality and power. Typical german thinking. What that makes so great in so much areas, not only sports.


i like the vuvuzelas. I mean, i don't think it's a deal THAT big. The good thing it's that they make noise. The bad thing would be a boring silence.
 
Well, we were not so bad.

But this is just the beginning of the championship, so lets wait + see. :)
 
I don't think the Danes have a chance against the Dutch. The Danes lost to Australia a couple of weeks ago :rolleyes: . The U.S. put the boots to the Aussie's 4-0 a couple of days ago. Germany just smoked Australia.

It will be Clockwork Oranje to the tune of 5 - 0 even without Arjen Robben. :yesyes: Nicklas Bendtner has a gimpy groin. The Danes are in trouble...

I didn't see the Germans today, but beating Australia earns a big, fat :sleep: from me..:thefinger
 
I don't like Germany too much, but they played definetely amazing football yesterday, first really good match in WC, but those stupid vuvuzelas are still ruining everything, no english chorals, no songs from Ghana fans and probably no samba of Brazil fans, just one stupid tone of vuvuzelas. Millions watching tv have to suffer because of fun of few thousands with horns....
 
The German Team certainly understood that more goals was good. i just watch with the sound of so i don't hear the horns

larss

I'm watching some specialist videos
The Queen mum could have stopped that ball.
and she's dead!

Haha. Your jealousy is showing. :thefinger It's understandable; just like the Canadians (who invented Hockey) you self-righteous Brit' pricks (who invented SOCCER :D) are eventually gonna be playing second fiddle to us. :rofl:

In due time...:rofl:

(I say all this in all fun, so...)

BTW, the Ghana-Serbia game was pretty good. I didn't like that hand call at the end for the PK, but what can you do. They had their chances.

Blatant hand ball. Stupid of the player to have done that, but it was a good call from the ref.


As for England's keeper.

Okay I'm kind of disappointed by my Oranje so far! They can do better than that! But the Danish defense is pretty strong against them today!

Edit: Oh no!! Holland needs an own goal by Denmark to take the lead!

I thought the Netherlands would be up by now to be honest, but hey ho I'm an England fan and we hardly looks great...
 
Well, I think the Netherlands started kind of slow, but they dominated pretty well through the second half. Not a lot of play in their end. And a solid win by 2.

Ja, Oranje!
 
Elia - super sub. He really provided some fizzle down the left flank.

The rest of the team did what the Dutch do almost as well as the English, disappoint in big tournaments.
 
Yay The Netherlands.
Not a great match, but the three points are in the pocket.

Well done Elia :thumbsup:
