England's "star" is Emile Heskey, by the way.

its truely amazing how emily heskey* gets picked for england.
even john terry has scored more goals for england,and he's a centre back...

oh and england to win the wc and gerrard star player :D

It's not about the goals he scores, he isn't a poacher. It's about the goals he creates for the likes of Rooney/Defoe to finish. Rooney plays much better with Heskey because Heskey does all the dirty hard work for him. Rooney and Defoe/Bent will never, ever work.

please dont tell me you are serious about heskey being our star player!
i dont buy all this crap that rooney plays better alongside him either,rooney will be better of playing alongside crouch,gerrard or cole.
i cant remember the last time i seen heskey play a gg for club or country,even villa fans cant stand him.
he hasnt done anything for years...
your kidding me right? :D

Rooney has said himself that he enjoys playing with Heskey. Do you really think Owen would have scored all those goals if he wasn't playing alongside Heskey? He isn't our star player, but we do play better with him. I don't get why people don't understand why teams use a target man and then say "he's shit" when they don't score. As I said before, Bent and Rooney will never work. None of them would score.

sure rooney said he likes playing alongside heskey like he has also said he likes to play alongside crouch and owen,he wouldnt wanna say bad things about his team m8s would he?
for a "target man" heskey's distrupution,holding up the ball and all round team play is very poor,watch him closely next time he plays...
also you can have a target man that actually scores ie crouch,carew and Ibrahimovic.
and yes owen would of scored all those goals without playing with heskey and maybe more too :D

You're talking bullshit now mate. He never said any of that. And to be honest I wouldn't say Crouch is a target man, he certainly isn't effective in that role. His passing is slightly poor yes, but he is one of the best at holding the ball up.

bullshit,thats a bit strong aint it?
and yes he did say he liked playing with crouch and owen.
the thing is you dont need a "target man" tbh,do the best teams have a target man?imagine heskey in the brazil team or spanish team it just wouldnt work :D
we have been carrying heskey for far to long, time to give his place to someone that would be more productive,he is a useless sack of shit!!

oh and stoke suck ;x

I'm sorry, I must have imagined Inter Milan winning the Champions League this year, and Chelsea winning the Premier League. Both playing with a target man. Oh and Barca.

And and Brizzle are a tinpot club, enjoy the NPower League youth. ;)

my point was you dont win things by playing a target man,inter won the cl playing with a strong defence and great work ethic and barca won the la liga playing possesion,pass and move football.
its not about kicking/throwing the ball into the box at the quickest opportunity (oh hello rory delap).
maybe you could pass this message onto tony pulis mwaaaaaaaaaaaaah ;x

I just listed the teams that have won something this year by playing a target man. Are you completely stupid or just ignorant? You make it sound as if we only score from throw-ins, like I said, enjoy the fizzy pop league.
And hurry up and take Dave "I'm a ginger cunt and everything is my fault" Kitson off us. By the way, only one team can win the Champions League, and it wasn't Barca. ;)

lol man cant you take a bit of banter?
bit sad that you have to be insulting,so in this case grow some fucking balls and grow up lmao,maybe come back to me when you have done this,k.

kitson wont be coming to the gate,we wont pay stupid wages like he is on now and we dont want him anyway.

I proved you wrong, you came back with some stupid statement - so I called you ignorant and stupid. It's not exactly insulting is it? I suggest you need to grow up if you can't even take that.

the only thing you proved is your a dumb little chav that knows fuck all about football.
get back in your little hole before you embarres yourself even more.
im done here.

I'm a dumb little chav yet you can't go a sentence without making a spelling mistake? I know a lot about Football, it is my life. Maybe you should learn some stuff about tactics or something, I don't know. It's a FACT that using a target man is effective. Why do you think we did so well in the qualifiers? Fuck me, you brizzle fans are some reet thick cunters.

Hesky is a confidence player. And as people say, he's not about scoring goals but creating them. That seems a bit of a meh quality for a striker, but he's still great to have around.

I'd say Rooney / Hesky really wouldn't be a bad idea. Can always sub Crouch in if it doesn't work (Crouch has scored every single time he's been subbed in)

For someone who is about creating goals, he sure doesn't create many goals.

Whatcha on about? He creates loads every match he plays :p

maybe it would be better if he concentrated on producing goals instead of loads...

Rooney needs to be playing the position he plays at club level, not in some silly big man - small man partnership with poor players like Heskey, up front alone in a 433 (With wing forwards, so Walcott, wait...) or 4231 (With a playmaker, so J.Cole, until he's injured...).

Heskey doesn't create many chances at all, he's a poor target man and a poor second striker (same with Crouch and Defoe is a poor poacher) and it just goes to show the lack of quality England have up front.

Wasted position in an England starting 11.

i only capped those who are in the world cup`s squad

default germany

Cacau, wtf?

I wouldn't bet on him even starting...

who then? ballack injured :0

Lahm, to name one.

Marin, Özil, Schweinsteiger, Kroos. I think they all have more talent than Cacau.
not saying he isn't a great player, but the star?

Forgot Müller. But he is still learning!

my only doubt was between: Schweinsteiger, Cacau and Podolski. in fact maybe podoski .. dunno

Podolski was not really in his top form during regular season.
dunno.

understatement of the year :)

is podolski stillplaying?

he is part of the national team, yes, "playing" I couldn't say.

but Löw does love him and he didn't play too bad in the test games...

wasn't being serious, just haven't seen much of him the past year...

if there's a star it's özil. you should've taken a closer look at the last 2-3 years of football history :d

its your opinion.

dude

Kroos won't make the starting 11 will he since Ozil/Muller are ahead of him?

My guess at starting 11 for .de would be:

Neuer
Jansen, Mertesacker, Friedrich, Lahm
Schweinsteiger, Khedira
Podolski, Oezil, Mueller
Klose

In my eyes only Jansen might be switched with Badstuber or Boateng and maybe Klose with Cacau.

Without injuries substitutes coming in would be Marin, Gomez/Cacau and Kroos.

This is how Lowe will start, not how I would start :-)

Which is basically the team vs Bosnia right?

Anyway, I'd play Kroos - Ozil - Muller as the three, then I guess stick with Klose since his international/world cup record is fantastic (Of course, if he flops you can always switch him).

Germany just need some better strikers/centre backs and they'll have one of the best squads for the next decade or so.

agreed. i'd do the same.

i guess Löw is not ready to put 3 newcomers up there as the heart of our offense, albeit they're all awesome technical players with the ability to decide a game with a free-kick/pass/long range shot.

Kroos and Müller are both 20, Özil is like 21(?).

Also it's pretty certain that Badstuber will play left defender imo. With Jansen as substitute.
And watch out for Marko Marin. He's like the new Odonkor with the actual ability to play football.

And I will be so gutted when i'll have to eat my words. :(

Plus the centreback pos is pretty save imo?! Mertesacker is rock solid Friedrich is alright and we still have guys like Mats Hummels.

Yes, Marin is a great Joker, he can really tear apart a defense. Dunno if he is ready to play 90mins on that level in a WC, though.

not bad :)

I agree, but I was talking about talent in that post.

Kroos is awesome, used to buy him in FM08 and put him straight in the first team for him to tear shit up £££.

Canales is the new Kroos in FM! Although Kroos is still alright.

i was actually playing FM10 but dunno i got bored so i deleted :(. in fact yeah this canales rocked and bernardo from cruzeiro as well

cmon löw cant be that ignorant. hes our best striker atm.

well, it's not like Löw never surprised anyone.

thats what im also talking about, at this time, _THIS_ if any reasonable person have watched germany playing.. would ask: who is this guy? (in reference to cacau of course). so i managed to youtube his videos etc.. and in fact he`s the best now. what i dont understand is when others argue about the fact that he`s the top1 now, its just a matter of stats, goals and ability. you can have you opinion you know.. but having an opinion without arguments for me is silly hahaha do you understand me?

what i dont understand that others argue is about the fact, its just a matter of stats, goals and ability.

Exactly. And that is why the best german striker this year is Stefan Kießling (21 goals) and not Cacau (13 goals).

Facts is what I'm talking about here, to underline my opinion.

god`s sake, yes, re-read what i`ve typed. like 10 billion times maybe you`ll understand i CLARIFIED: STATS, GOALS AND ABILITY
dumbass, before troll someone try to figure out what you have deep in your brain. haahahahahhaa by the way.. cacau isnt even a first striker, he might be second striker or so.. his job isnt only to make goals for god`s sake.. gonna stop talking about football with you ahahah you dont really understand the magic.

It's funny, because I just posted STATS.

BTW: If you compare Özil and Cacau, here's the result.

Özil: 9 goals, 17 assists.
Cacau: 13 goals, 5 assists.

It's really pointless to have this discussion with you, because you can't read nor write in proper english and the only reason we're having this is, is because I said that there are better players than Cacau and you replied:

"LOLZ HAHAHA CACAU ONLY ONE GOOD OTHER SHIT."

It's obvious you have no idea about the players and only picked Cacau, because he has brazilian roots.

first of all you and your fellow mates are always saying that i dont have a proper english haahha ridiculous.. im learning: norwegian, spanish(at fluency levels) and even anyone would get bored trying to talk/speak/type proper english all the time. second: i said you dont understand the magic and i show you why:
http://www.fussballdaten.de/spieler/ozilmesut/
http://www.fussballdaten.de/spieler/cacau/

ozil
2009 Deutschland Mittelfeld 7 1 1 0 0 0
2010 Deutschland Mittelfeld 3 0 0 0 0 0

cacau
2009 Deutschland Angriff 4 0 1 0 0 0
2010 Deutschland Angriff 4 3 1 1 0 0

anything else?
doest matter if he plays OK, i said OK in the budesliga, what is important is stats, ability and goals (FOR THE MOMENT). there arent any other PLAYER at this moment rising more than him.

third: i dont even care if he has brazilian roots or not, what is a deep shame is a country 3 times world winner capping someone from abroad... this is silly. that simply shows why your squad is a shit hahaha.

You do realize that Cacau chose to be German, right? There's no GESTAPO forcing him to favour Stuttgart over Rio.

nah, its just a matter that he would never be capped by the brazilian squad. same as: pepe, deco, amauri, denilson(from arsenal) and many thousands of. for your team he`s good, for mine.. he`s just a common player. still ze roberto ruling the budesliga? i guess so.. 128989128 years old man hahahaha

Yet again showing you have NO clue whatsoever. I don't blame you tho. It's probably your media selling Ze Roberto as THE BEST PLAYER EVER IN THE BUNDESLIGA.

did i say he was the best in the budes? :000 wow dude, hahahahahaahahahah i said: ruling. pay attention for what i type hahahaha have you been to a doctor? by the way.. you see.. for how long did take to grafite get capped? he simply was the top scorer in the season before(08/09) and he even didnt have a chance at that time.. why? because we still simply rule.. we have the best players.. you have to be playing good at least 2/3 years in a row to be capped. and remain it.

he sucked big time this year and is capped... brazil is so desperate? :)))

desperate? when he got in, he made an attempt and made an assistance in 3 minutes. why should we? brazil and argentina have the best attack in this world cup. remember? who was the top scorer in the confederations cup? :0

hence the smilies... in the league he was a shadow of himself of 08/09.
I guess no one will argue with you that Brazil regularly brings out truly great players. If they were so much superior to any other nation's players, they should be able to win every single WC with ease, though... which they aren't.

the game is played by 11. you can make the difference, even if your team is crappy.. if they dont play as a team.. nothing can be done then. and yes.. in some cases for example.. rivaldo playing in uzbekistan .. "Rivaldo signed a 2-year contract worth €10.2 million [16] and started his Uzbekistan career superbly with a brace on his debut." "Since joining Bunyodkor in 2008, his team have only lost once in the league over two seasons. In 2009 they went the whole season unbeaten."

yeah that can happen because i guess they are deeply bad at football hahahahah at least germans mark tight(really tight tho)

by the way the last article i`ve read was: grafite(top scorer and scored the most beautiful goal in the wolf`s history) and josue was one of the most important figures in this season as well, as a captain i guess(i dont remember him being a captain at any team he played hahahaha)

no, to be a star it's not enough to be at a good form right now.

i agree by this pointview

Cacau?
Not really, mate.

While i disagree with becks, he's def. not our "star". It WILL be Mesut Özil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E6sWiJotUU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=479Ga8aS4ls&feature=related (slightly better quality)
I hope our "strikers" will be able to use his amazing passing skills.

the only player i thought i could replace for cacau was podolski, ballack injured. lahm? :0 miroslav blablabla(i forgot) ?

Just shows how much you know about our team, no offense. :)
Özil, Marin, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Müller ... each one better than Cacau.
Lahm is one of the best defenders worldwide, our captain and already a star.

müller better than cacau? gtfo

???
like .... 10 times more talented?
also: Marko Marin. He's so good.

marin owns!

hmmmm :)

fuck cacau müller ftw! :P

:D

dude i do really know about germany, maybe schwarzenblengertiger (just kidding) would be worth to be mentioned, cacau last three matches scored 3 or 4 goals if i do remember, even against argentina i watched the game, he simply played alone, the rest of the team was harmless :0

You maybe think you know, but in reality you don't, if you think Cacau is our star. You're a little naive, if you think one man alone can beat Argentina.

a team working to a star player can beat anyone, brazil vs nederlands 94, internacional vs barcelona 2005, dude.. no im sorry you dont really know, argentina vs england 70s something.. hahaahha no actually you dont

What? I do not understand.

Either way, Cacau is not our star.

i have watched any compilation , best of and goals of your team, indeed cacau is the best, any other esr user from others countries could do it, because i guess for you is hard to be impartial i guess, just because he`s brazilian i guess haha

You're stupid and ignorant. You're the one being impartial, because he is (was) brazilian. I don't choose him, because I fucking watch the bundesliga every saturday. I actually see these guys play. Not only in international matches.
He's good, no doubt, but there are several other players with more potential to be world class.

dude, stop trolling like everyone in this damn website and SHOW ME, stop TALKING, i did tell you my opinion, you just come up with words, make a thread with your "brilliant talented squad players" and show me why, because otherwise my opinion is even stronger. i dont care you watch budesliga every saturday, what people care i guess is who is going to rock in the world cup, i guess c. ronaldo not :)

maybe watch the videos i posted?

you are arguing with those ones? hahahahahahaha god`s sake..

Wow, this is so pointless. Did you watch the video of Cacau you posted? There's nothing special in it.

Also: Özil replaced Diego for Werder Bremen and did very well, if not better.

i was focused on his goals and thats it.. nothing special in this young boy you are talking about.. lets see in the world cup..

man, you're being so annoying the last few days. please use some punctation and structure in your posts and stop insulting everyone disagreeing with you.

i insult those who insult me, which is fair enough for esr.

no, you post like this:

(with less spaces in between)

You judge the players via Youtube compilations?

hope özil plays a great world cup. so talented!!

yeh, after rereading my post, it does sound a bit harsh. What I wanted to say was, that I am not nearly 100% he will start.

Brazil win.

germany! i have a lot of faith in this young team!

hahahahaha

The Nederlands - (Wesley Sneijder)

Even injured, Robben is better than Sneijder.

its hard to choose one between 11 in this nederlands`s case... try to choose two good players from north korea :( i dont agree but he could be the number one as well

RvP will be the star of the Netherlands, probably top scorer too.

you said right, will be!

Italy will win with their 10 in the box retarded football,and no heroes whatsoever, only 11 villains :DDD

hahahaha hail cannavaro !!!

nike commercial to the world cup:
rooney, ronaldinho, ribery.. etc etc

italy: a central-back hahahahaha!!!

portugal for sure

Not a chance. Let's just hope that your little winker/wanker doesn't cheat his way through us again.

dont worry, thiago silva ruled him, and he`s our reserve defender, imagine terry or some other better tho haha

im really surprised by this guy from north korea, he seemed good :0

Hes been driking the magic north korean fruit juice.

hahahaahahahhahahah

Uruguay - just for the lulz!

EL LOCO ABREU!!!! :D

is there an international betting game for the world cup? then we could do an esr group
i only know the german ones :(

theres www.comunio2010.com , but i guess it's little to extensive.

http://games.espn.go.com/bpredictor/en/frontpage

only a bracket prediction but that might be enough anyway

okay i just created a group, name: "ESR" pw: "lmao@"
lets see if we can get enough members to make it interesting, everything you have to do is sign up with some fake data and enter your predictions, took about 5mins all in all

eurgh, dann lieber comunio. :(

sry 4 germanzing

well i dont really care, espn looked simpler so i tried it first, feel free to do a comunio group

ok im in. heres the thread for the teamliquid group if youre interested.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128080

what about someone create the virtual bets on esr too? :)

would be nice after the groupstage i guess, but i dont see it happening before

me too, but some game like: us vs england :D would be nice to bet!

the truth behind the german squad:
starting from who only holds the foreign nationality-

Trochowski was born in Tczew, Pomeranian Voivodeship in the People's Republic of Poland. The family, with father Wiesław and mother Alicja, left for Hamburg when Piotr was 5 years old.

Marin moved from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Germany as a 2-year old in 1991 with his mother, Borka, and father, Ranko.[7]. They moved to Germany due to his mother's job.[8]

Podolski was born to Krystyna Podolska, a former member of the Polish national handball team and Waldemar Podolski, former Polish football professional and the 1980 champion of Poland with Szombierki Bytom, in the Silesian industrial town of Gliwice (near Katowice), Poland.

Klose was born in Opole, Upper Silesia, Poland. Both of his parents were active in sports; his mother, Barbara Jeż, was a member of the Poland women's national handball team. His father Josef Klose played professional football in Poland for Odra Opole, before leaving communist Poland in 1978 and moving to France to play for clubs like AJ Auxerre.

Claudemir Jeronimo Barretto[1][2][3][4] (born 27 March 1981 in Santo André), commonly known as Cacau, is a Brazilian-born German football striker who is currently playing for VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Gómez was brought up in Unlingen, an Upper Swabian village and is of German-Spanish descent (his father is a Spaniard from Granada and his mother is German). He has both nationalities but decided to play for the German national team at the age of 17. (note: he decided or he realized he didnt have a chance of playing for spain? hahaha)

now starting from those who have others backgrounds:

Dennis Aogo (born 14 January 1987 in Karlsruhe) is a German footballer of Nigerian descent[1] who plays for Hamburger SV.

Tasci was born in West Germany to Turkish parents.

A player with dual German-Ghanaian nationality, Boateng is a central defender.

His father is from Tunisia and his mother is from Germany.[3] Sami's younger brother Rani plays for the youth ranks of VfB Stuttgart and is a member of the Germany U15 team.

Mesut Özil (born 15 October 1988 in Gelsenkirchen) is a German footballer of Turkish[2] descent who currently plays for Werder Bremen and the German national football team.

note: about this part, nothing against globalization, which im studying political science and taking globalization classes at this moment. but.. the point is when you lose your root i guess.. playerA is a TURKISH player blablabla, dude, or he is german, or turkish or he holds both nationalities... i mean somebody born german is german.. turkish german in germany is ridiculous, its something saxon culture cant handle, like living in toronto surrounded by: 5 chinese towns, 3 korean towns, 1 indian town, 1 italian town, 1 portuguese town, i mean.. dont you guys get mixed? latin girls are hot because we are all mixed, you can find hot blond woman with a huge ass(without the need of silicone)

Wow, dude. The truth about the german squad is: Everyone is german.

Your point being? Do the same research for the french team. Europe is a continent with a lot of immigration. Tell me something I don't know.

the truth is that your squad in this world cup is one of the worst i ever seen from germany.

:)

Seems like you have no idea about the history of football as well. It really seems like, you have no idea AT ALL.

uhum, thats why germany lost against us in 2002 i guess

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1889722#pid1889722

How does Brazil winning against Germany in 2002 translate into you knowing about German football??

by the way i was just kidding. and today the press said that mario and cacau are the ones to start in the first eleven, your coach said that actually so.. thats one more reason to how i know more than you and GIMME MORE!!! hahahaha

funny, our news says something different.

Besides, not many are stupid enough to believe a starting formation is fixed this long before a game. Congrats on being one of them.

by the way.. thats why i dont even care about your opinion hahahahaha something that only shows how much you dont understand anything about football, we are about 5 6 days to start the world cup.

thats why i dont even care about your opinion hahahahaha something that only shows how much you dont understand anything about football

you write something like this and yet you're convinced your english is good. it's adorable.

i dont care, i already said, i speak/write/type proper english when i want to, so specially in these cases when someone doesnt deserve my respect i type whatever i like :P

You do realize that there's no way in hell, anyone will ever understand you that way, right?
I mean, you must have some sort of urge to communicate with people on here. Could you please use your proper english more often? Only to avoid misunderstandings. Pretty please?
You're just to annoying.

for people like you? no i wouldnt do it, guys that just come to esr to blame everybody and troll.. something ridiculous by yourselves. you guys should try to become more adults :P

Please point to my post where I was trolling you.

well, you asked...

You're stupid and ignorant. You're the one being impartial, because he is (was) brazilian. I don't choose him, because I fucking watch the bundesliga every saturday.

and pay attention for what i have typed the post above.

Well, fuck. You wrote something stupid and ignorant.

... :) more arguments ?

You based your choice off of Youtube Videos and stated that i don't want Cacau to be the star, because he's brazilian.

If that's not the definition of stupid and ignorant, I don't know what else is.

first of all, its just a post about the world cup, as any writer in the world.. people do agree and do not. so.. you do not.. and...?

i just explained my arguments you explained yours and you call me stupid and ignorant without sense.. which im not surprised coming from some esr user.

rofl

so let me get this straight, noone is certain who of Cacau, Marin, Klose, Podolski, Müller, Kroos (maybe even Gomez) we will see in offense. The manager himself said Klose needs to practice hard to get a slot.

But wait, we have a Brazillian who knows it all, cause he read it in the press.

And he is certain Mario (Gomez) will start.

yeah, that really proved to be true.
You know soooo much :P

No matter what, as a proud Dutchman I always hope Germany loses. Except when it plays against countries like Italy, then it's really a no-brainer

:(

I love your team. Bommel, Robben, Mathjisen, Ruud, v. d. Vaart. They're all pretty popular over here. I hope they'll do fine.

ofc, a final vs. you guys means war.

dunno.. the press in here says that robben will probably get fit after the group stage. for me he`s really important for the team, without him netherlands is going to play differently. but yeah its beautiful how you guys play, people in brazil think that netherlands is somehow the brazilian squad of europe.. short passes, long throws, nice counter-attacks and good techniques and abilities.. i only think that you guys dont have a solid defense and a good goaly(van der sar isnt immortal :()

Jesus christ. That must have been the most unrelated reply of all time.

reminds me of 2002:

ohne holland fahrn wir zur wm .. :p

sup?

None of them got the german nationality to play football (which was the case with South African Sean Dundee and brazilian Paolo Rink - lol @ both).
So I don't see any point in that list.

Germany is a country with many immigrants so I see no reason for boys who grew up here to play for a foreign country just because one or both parents were born there 50 years ago.

paulo RINK !!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA truly legend in curitiba(i lived in there haha)

but dude i know same as brazil, but the point is that people over there dont get mixed, culturally you guys have the concept of conservationism etc.. which is just a reflect of yourselves :0 (political science is deep haha trust me)

You have actually heard of Paolo Rink? - lol, n1
I thought noone in Brazil would know him :))

dude.. not everyone knows.. but.. a lot of people from my age know them because when atletico paranaense had their most famous couple of attack: paulo rink and kleber(know, kleber santos i guess who recently played for santos) this kleber one played for my hometown team a year before hahaha and because of them(honestly because of THEM) they got promoted to first division, they scored so many goals altogether, then i guess because paulo rink has german background(many places down south of brazil have german villages etc and because of it he got german citizenship) he moved to germany and kleber to france i guess i dont remember at all haha but yeah some brazilians know him hahaha dude.. whats going on with Ailton ? who started in Sport Recife or Santa Cruz( both from my hometown) , this ailton played for werder i guess he was one of the top scores and everything :0 and also dedé(left wing/left fullback) hahaha

We love Ailton!
His season with Werder was great, he was league's topscorer and he gave some of the funniest interviews. ("das ist ailton" when asked why he played so amazingly)

Now he plays in the 6th league in Germany (some big money went into a club there, buying 1st and 2nd league oldies) but does not score.
Afaik his best achievement there was that he managed to get called by the stadium-speaker mid-match because he parked his mercedes right before one of the stadium's gates and blocked it... :)

AILTON MACHE BUMBUM TOR

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG ailton ROCKS!!!!! he is also famous in recife(not by common people, but by football lovers) because we know he became famous in germany and then.. we know some stories.. but this one about the parking i didnt know HAHAHAHAHAHA ailton rocks dude hahaha

duuuuuude look, this team where he is playing was a big one :000 omg i didnt know!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC_Uerdingen

lol paulo rink hahahaa omg havent seen him for years i guess now he`s some sort of director of football for atletico paranaense

oh, i'm figuring you're against migration? honestly, why?

maybe he is a descendent of native Americans. *shrug*

'clean' bloodline type of guy? :/

im in favor for the globalization, which includes both so.. no im not.

then why you're arguing about where someone (or his mom, his uncle and his grandfather) is born versus where he prefers to live and apperently like to play football? just... shut up? :) it doesn't matter at all.

no dude, hahahah you didnt understand what i meant, when you are under immigration you might prevent people of getting "in their shells" you know.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_exclusion

:P

how do you even know these people think of themselves as immigrants? did you ask özil? gomez? aogo? no? wtf are you talking about then.

its a long way but i`ll try. for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Özil

"Mesut Özil (born 15 October 1988 in Gelsenkirchen) is a German footballer of Turkish[2]"

for example, wikipedia is a good example of globalization anyone from anywhere can participate on this website. but people who work preventing badspams etc etc work as well as trying to post something impartial. this article in english was probably (at least this part i mentioned) posted by someone from germany. so it shows that if people do not complain about this post which means what? someone born in germany is german, not turkish even tho he has or had turkish background. same as my father has born in brazil and his grandpas were from netherlands.. my father is brazilian, he doesnt even speak dutch :P. so the reflection is what i said up there: it just shows your culture. try to do this with others nations/cultures and you`ll get it. thats why im studying political science, just following my instincts \0/

why are you always talking about things you don't have the slightest clue about??

like this:

someone born in germany is german, not turkish even tho he has or had turkish background.

which is simply wrong.

Go look it up, since you made it to wiki yourself ...

just shows that you are a complete political science brainless.(as i presume, welcome to esr boy! hahaha)

sure. You are the one who goes off-topic and starts to talk about politics and get the facts wrong. But I am the political brainless for telling you your mistakes.

you are the brainless, you dont tell me my mistakes cuz you believe my mistakes are based on your brainless so... brainless. hahaha

the truth behind the german squad:

what truth did you find?

that you guys are passing from changes.. like re-building your squad etc(or needed, otherwise is going to be like italy or france etc, a bunch of old guys playing).. its natural.. this year you guys dont have a good squad.. (politics, economy, etc etc do reflect on sports.. in fact its the opposite: sports is just a reflation) :0(by the way, this is my opinion.. it isnt a statement) :P

Well those youngsters bring in technical abilities no germans had since the golden 70ies, so I think our squad has definitely improved since the last cups.
In 2009 Germany was the first country to be european champion of U17, U19 and U21 teams at the same time. From the U21-ECs 5 or 6 players made it to the WC-team.

For me the question is, whether they can compensate their lack of experience for now or if their nerves will get the better of them.
But in future tournaments all of them will be established national players, should be good times.. :)

well.. lets see in this world cup.. to be honest.. i dont like that much the way germany play.. its some sort of england-italian style, i dont like that much.. the only german player i always liked was klismann (he rocked!!!) and his style was something like caniggia or batistuta i dunno :/ but im glad you guys have won these youth tournaments, one serbian friend also said that serbia has won some of these youth tournaments as well :0

"england-Italian style."

your reply is so insignificant that i guess only your country mates support it

it's more due to your France-Russian style English

dude you should visit a psychotherapist

You should graduate at the College of Humor

thanks !

1.spain
2.brazil
3.argentina
4.england

i hope so, then after this world cup we gonna respect every opponent and we gonna win hahaha(nothing like 50)

brazil will win in WC 2014 thats why im giving this one to spain =D

i hope so!!!!

haha me too bro, i live in colombia and we always cheer for our carioca neighbors, also im saving money since now to spend one hell of a month in 4 years over there =D

dude you gonna love it, but beware!! hahaha but i guess you have learned something in colombia(im talking about thieves etc haha)

Those are my 4 candidates too, although probably not in that order. An eye must be kept in Netherlands and Germany too. I don't see any African team strong enough to get any decent result this time, which is a shame.

you shouldn't underestimate the home team factor.

See South Korea!

There was no need of bringing such memories in :P

sorry, didn't remember they won against spain :(

Argentina wins.

its funny.. i think they will rule but win.. dunno.. i have the sensation they need a quarter back and a goalie.. :/

messi, aguerro, milito, higuain? no team has better offense.

they are a bit fucked in mid/back, but i'm hoping the defense can't fuck up as much as messi & co can score

honestly these guys you mentioned:
"messi, aguerro, milito, higuain? no team has better offense. "
for example aguerro plays worse than tevez, and you cant play with all those guys without a solid defense :0 imagine now:
4-3-3
goalie: ROMERO(haha comeon)
centrals: Demichelis and Samuel(fair enough tho)
fullbacks: that guy from newcastle(which runs all over the pitch and thats it) and HEINZE(comeon...)
mayme he plays with 2 central or defender midfields and only one to make the connection between midfield and the attack
so: mascherano and ... :)(cambiaso hasnt been capped, datolo? maradona can set the team with veron, but he isnt fast enough to stop a wave of 3 4 midfields :))
attacking midfield: di maria? veron(dunno, maradona is crazy)
wingers/advanced forwards: messi and higuain
striker: milito

i think that would be the squad(i think)
compare to any other solid nation team.. they only have attack and thats it in my opinion.. even netherlands have a better midfield formation than them

how can you say that aguerro plays worse than tevez??

he's one of the best attackers in europe, it's just that he doesn't have a good team to back him up. if he played in real or barca he'd score 25+ per season i'm sure.

samuel can hold the defense, mascherano can help, and messi will take care of the rest!

they can't fuck up every time. argentina is too good for that.



and they need to get rid of poor diego. he's no coach.

well in fact not only me, brazilians, argentines etc.. we/they think aguero is somewhat their 5th striker on the list(i have asked many argentines while eating bbq! haha) :0 well dunno i think tevez is more complete than aguero as well :0

i understand the defense is ok, but.. come on.. just one brazilian counter-attack they cant handle.. with robinho, maicon, kaka, elano running all over the pitch they cant stop, same as netherlands or spain if they play each other i guess the match score would be: 5x3 to any other team.

"and they need to get rid of poor diego. he's no coach."
totally agreed hahahahahahah even argentines they`ve already realized that

Reckon they'll keep him until after the confederations cup, then sign someone else. I just can't see them sacking him.

well a really strong name in here is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Diaz

he has almost half population support in here haha except for some boca`s fans and.. hum.. maybe some boca`s fans like him as well cuz he rocked in here :0 thas my guessing to the next argentina`s coach

He's playing 343 by the looks of it:
Samuel - DiMichelis - Heinze

But he has no wing backs so...

yeah man, i have the same sensation i think they`ll do fine but not as a candidate to become a champion :0

what they need most is a decent coach.
qualifying as 4th in south america with these players is pathetic.

"maradona is the only person that can stop messi"

hahahahaha yeah, coach can have a huge different innit

Ironically if they still had Bielsa they would probably be unstoppable at this world cup.

Chile qualified second playing an extremely aggressive tactic with fairly average quality players.

i piss on football

David Suazo, motherfuckers.

Up the 'douras!

you're back!

The star player of Greece definitely isn't Charisteas. He has't played in ages. It's either Samaras or Gekas. Ninis is the most talented of all but I don't see him getting much playtime.

Euro-Harry ftw. :P

to be honest i tried to find a video of kyrgiakos which is the best without doubt, but i couldnt find, so i got the winner goal of the world cup qualifier and the euro final in 2004, isnt it fair enough?

Gekas? Really? He's barely good enough for germany's 2nd division tbh.

hey hey! watch your words, mate :)
He's playing for my team next season (as Kyrgiakos did 2 years ago, what a funny but scaring guy)

lmao@frankfurt tbh.
why not buy people worth the money? :(

They do fine, imho.
Will take a few years but at the moment they are not among the candidates to leave the league, even had a shot at EuroLeague places for a few weeks.

Gekas was cheap, no big risk and if he may show only half his potential (beeing top-scorer only a few years ago) it was a great transfer.
That young greek left defender looks promising, I think in the last few years only very few people were not worth the little money they cost:
- Caio at least showed some great games finally this year, the ~4Mio might pay off.
- Petkovic was a stupid transfer, no doubt.

Samaras is also really crap in a really crap league.

to be honest i dont know how could russia lost their game against greece, its just.. ... :(

Kobe Bryant'll win.

yes, with Henry with him.. helping him with his hand!

did you mean....


ah forget it..

\0/

Chile takes this ez.

que deus te ouça!

I would have said the American star was Tim Howard.

why?

If the US has had a history of putting out world class soccer players, they're all keepers. Howard has a great record for clean sheets, and is the only reason the US national team doesn't have five goals against every game. Have you seen the American defenders? Barring Onyewu, we have the shoddiest and most godawful defense of any team going to the World Cup. A tip to anyone playing against us, we have no left back.

He was one of the first Americans to play professionally out of the United States (for Manchester United of all teams...) and does extremely well at Everton.

Donovan is fast and works hard, but he doesn't seem to have the natural ability that usually comes with an athletic star.

i understand but i think donavan was the most regular good player from us the world have seen in years

this

Interestingly enough, the USA-England man of the match was none other than Tim Howard.

Not infamously long arms?

...and?

Brad 'I make penalty kickers shit their pants' Friedel?

He's nothing special at penalties to be honest :/

agreed, i cant think he`s the best.. maybe that guy who was the topscorer of the ahum... mexican league i guess.. he`s born in mexico but he is playing for US :0

You're bonkers. I, and anyone in the know, would put Friedel in the top 5 percentile of keepers at penalty kicks.

Outside of pk's, he's still an outstanding keeper. At Villa, he was shot at more than 3/4 the other teams but I believe they had the 4th best goals against record in the league?

I would assume he's the best known American player in the world.

well i was going to post something but.. whatever.. i know better goalies than this one so who cares

There have been much better penalty keepers than him by miles, if we're talking strictly currently I guess he might make it, though ultimately my knowledge of keepers probably isn't strong enough to say.

He's good yeah (And strong outside of them), better than most keepers who just dive one way before the guy has even kicked the ball.

you see? who fucking care about this goalie, definitely donavan was the best choice.

Yeah, because the goalie was needed against Algeria. We coulda put a stick in front of the goal and we woulda been fine.

again: who damn care?

So long as France gets knocked out as soon as possible I dont care.

hahaha 3 french arrived in my home! hahahahaha i guess we gonna watch the france`s match on friday

ask them if they are ashamed of how their country qualified

i already asked, and...
1- yeah we didnt do enough to get qualified and we got the spot by a handball :/ its bad..
2- actually henry havent done that on purpose... =_=
3- i dont like football

Croatia! Oh wait...

Bilic FTW

hahahahahahahah oh wait :(

fuck you!

edit: 45mins left! ololololololol

yeah i know! hahahaha im already really excited!!! WORLD CUP!!! AAAAA PORRA FUTEBOL CARALHO!! 11 ! 1 1 1 1 1 1 !

hopefully SA!

draw :/

so close. :(

i was thinking it wasnt going to be fair. that first half offside was ridiculous, but afterwards the same bastard referee hasnt given a penalty against SA and ..SA lost that chance that the boy hit the post :( but im also proud that parreira could make this guys playing football.. passing shortly and with outwardness..

??? What was wrong with the offside? Start making sense

do you actually know the rules? i mean football rules?

Just because your country has won 2 out of the 4 last WCs doesn't elevate you above us. Stop being an arrogant prick.
Yes, I know football rules. This was not offside.

you are starting to become like any esr user in these days, i asked if you knew the rules, which means that you dont.

there is the goal and one defender was actually almost ONTO the goal`s line and two players from mexico before this player .. so HE DID made the condition for them to score the goal, was totally LEGAL this goal.

well in somewhat maybe thats why we won 5 world cups. _5_

Very good argumentation there in your first line. I am stunned. Unfortunately for you, you are wrong. I can't be arsed to explain it myself, but read this thread and see why you are wrong.
http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&...2121275762

you're wrong.. that was offside!

Offside Position
A player is in an offside position if:
• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

the goalkeeper counted as the second-last opponent.. and the player on the goal line was in the usual position of the goalkeeper (aka last defender), so it didn't matter who he was.

thats the difference when someone gets a reference from some regular forum and when someone tries to find the rules from where it should come from: some serious website

well yeah i knew it but whatever, he knows more about football than me, and he has 5 WC and call me arrogant prick etc. pretty fair to an ESR user.

BAFANA BAFANA!!!

Did I ever imply to know more about football rules than you? Reread your own posts and think about the stupidity in them.
And it was offside, you are both wrong. There need to be two defending players between the goal and the opposite attacker. Normally it is assumed to be a goalkeeper and someone else. This time, however, when the pass was made, the goalkeeper was IN FRONT of the attacker, therefor leaving only 1 defending player (the one standing on the goal line) between the goal and the attacker. Thus, the goal is invalid because it was offside.

sorry, how am i wrong? i pasted from: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/...gameen.pdf

Your rules are correct. The attacking player was behind (closer to the goal line) than the second defending (goalkeeper) player. Therefor it is offside.

edit
You are not wrong, I misread your first post when you said "you're wrong. it was offside", I assumed that was aimed at my post, but it was not.

you are being ridiculous man, i havent even said a bad word to you, whatever you have in mind _YOU_ in fact are being arrogant. and by the way.. READ THE RULES at least before blame someone etc.

no excuses

Unfortunately, you are still wrong. And Aquashark's posted rules are correct, however, since you severely lack English skills (which I don't blame you for), you fail to interpret them correctly. The goal was offside. The referees made the right decision. The match was fair.
Actually, Aquashark actually agrees with me, not with you.

god`s sake...

i did fail to "interpret" but you also did, u in fact insured that typing:
You are not wrong, I misread your first post when you said "you're wrong. it was offside", I assumed that was aimed at my post, but it was not.

stop being ridiculous criticizing my english skills, if i dont use the "punctuation" properly doesnt mean that i dont know english. so in fact you did the same "mistake" cuz he started the sentence with: _you`re wrong..._

anyway you could be pleased by me when you could showed me that i was wrong but instead you destroyed that with your 100% skill in arrogance.

thanks aquashark, you proved that even tho any rule could be decided in a simple situation(but at the same time a tough one!) thanks and unfortunately romania isnt in there :) and mica(marica?) got caught in a anti-drug test :0

nigeria vs argentina? :D

GO BRAZIL \o/

It's coming home.

between us and england?

U S A! U S A! U S A1!11!11!

the new american hero:

Heskey, man of the match. What was I saying? Overall it was an average performance, freak goal cost us. Just like in 2002. Pretty pissed off, but that's only because Hart should have started instead of that clown. And Milner on the left? Is Capello taking the piss? Then he brings on SWP, another player who isn't a left winger, with no footballing brain at all. Stupid management to be fair. And to bring the likes of Upson and Green is an absolute joke to be honest.

Rooney needs to stay fucking forward. He might as well be a midfielder.

And today once again proved that Gerrard and Lampard can't play together, Gerrard had an amazing game but Lampard was absolute shite. As ever. Thank fuck for Barry. And if, for fuck sake, Capello starts Gerrard on the left, with Barry and Lampard in the centre then I may go mental.

i hope he goes with that then cos going "mental" may be the only way you see sense. heskey was shit and all the heskey fan boys are idiots...what did he do in the match?
- he made 1 good pass leading to a goal
- he missed a sitter with no pressure around him...not only missed but when he had the whole goal to aim for shot it straight at the keeper
- the main thing people praise him for due to some reason, "holds the ball up"...another way of saying this which demonstrates the complexity is that he turns his back to the defence...any player in the squad could do this (even tiny defoe) but they choose the more positive approach of moving forwards
- crouch would have scored a header too...should have been brought on at 65-70 and he would have had that chance

SWP had a decent match all things considered (itd be like playing with sunglasses...unnatural).

next game should be:
hart
cole, terry, carragher, johnson
cole, gerrad, barry, lennon
crouch, rooney

instead itll probs include donkey james, carrick, slowskey & lampard though

Hilarious. Heskey, other than Gerrard, was by far our best player. It's not his fault that we lack creativity and are forced to lump it up to him every time is it? He did a very good job at what he's good at. He has NEVER, ever, been a poacher. And has been England's target man for a good decade now.

Also. When Crouch came out we got worse. In fact we looked desperate when he came on and was forced to using tippy tappy (like West Brazil) bollocks around the half way line. Just shows, how clueless you are when you think that SWP had a decent game. Honestly.

And on your starting line up... for a start, Cole is a left-back, and Johnson is a right-back, Cole normally plays on the left(can play on the right though) - whereas Lennon is a right midfielder.

AND...

Fucking hell. Jesus.

Jamie Carragher? Were you not shitting yourself when he came on? I was so sure he'd get sent off. He's too slow. He should only be there as backup for right-back. To be fair he shouldn't be playing in the Premiership right now, he's past it.

I despair, I really do.

more of this bs..."what hes good at" in other words, face your own goal. the opportunity wasnt a poachers goal it was an opportunity anyone further up than defence would have scored. his only good moment in 90 minutes was making a 5 metre pass after receiving it from a fluky deflection (wasnt even like he got in a good position for a pass).

terry, johnson & even lennon outplayed heskey...lennon attacked more & involved more players in goal scoring opportunities which should be rated higher than simply kicking it to someone running near your position while you have your back to goal

pretty much the whole 90 minutes was a shit spell so you can hardly say it got worse when crouch came on (think first half when usa had like 10 mins of constant possession)

only decent defenders we have are terry, carragher, king & dawson...king is injured & wont play fri and i doubt dawson will get picked.

hold off the clueless comments when you cant even realise a squad when it is said L2R...johnson & lennon on the left? ye...

I'm sorry, but you really are clueless. You don't even know where half the squad plays so...

Carragher? Good defender? Is that a joke? He's past it, even Liverpool fans admit that, and god knows how many of the goals that were scored against Liverpool were his fault last season.

And even King isn't good enough for England, he was OK I suppose against the USA. We need a fast centre back, playing Terry with another slow centre back is suicide.

Anyway, fuck it. Roll on 2018 when we win the World Cup again.

Backward notation for formations really annoys :/

King is overrated, he's decent but he gets far more praise than he deserves simply because of his injury problems.

He makes amateur mistakes during his games for Spurs fairly often.

you wish you were chinese once again!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/301...h-sex.html

England's best players were Johnson, Cole and Lampard, by a mile, everyone else was useless and/or nullified.

Gerrard is the type of player you don't want playing as a central midfielder, he's got neither the discipline nor the tactical understanding to play that role (Which is why Benitez stuck him out wide and then as a play maker behind the striker).

He was one of the primary reasons England fail to keep hold of possession as he doesn't attempt to provide an option for a safe pass and attempts through balls at the slightest opportunity (most of them fail miserably).

The other problem was that SWP (actually, I'm not really sure what SWP's is meant to be and he doesn't seem to either) and Lennon are traditional wingers who hug the touchline at all times and contribute nothing to retaining possession of the ball, whereas the USA had Dempsey and Donovan tucking in to help out in the center giving them a 4 on 2 advantage, forcing Rooney to drop too deep.

The "ideal" formation for England would be a 433 or 4231:
Hart
Johnson - Ferdinand - Terry - A. Cole
Barry
Lampard - Gerrard
Walcott - Rooney - J. Cole

Hart
Johnson - Ferdinand - Terry - A. Cole
Barry - Lampard
Walcott - J. Cole - Gerrard
Rooney

I agree with you. But Lampard was poor last night. I'll be glad when he fucks off to be honest.

Oh and, Wallcott? Are you a Gooner? He's the same as SWP. No brain, all pace, can't cross, isn't creative, and even with so much pace he lacks the bollocks to take anybody on.

Lampard was fine, he just had Lennon/SWP/Gerrard not providing any help in the middle of the pitch.

The thing is, Walcott is not a wide midfielder or a winger, he's a striker/wide forward, so instructing him to hug the touchline and play as one isn't going to be successful (and that's what Capello did). So in a run of the mill 442 that Capello and England play, no, you wouldn't really want him on the pitch (but the standard 442 hasn't been successful for at least a decade anyway).

The ideal way to use Walcott is to have him run the channels and find space behind the defence for the other players to feed balls into:
- Example 1
- Example 2
- Example 3
- Example 4
- Example 5 (~30seconds in)

All against Champions League opposition (Yes, FC Twente count!) and he's got a few more goals and assists too (e.g. vs AC Milan at the San Siro when they were reigning champions of Europe). I can't think of SWP/Lennon doing anything in the CL/Uefa Cup before.

You say he's "not creative" but what do you even mean by that? None of the England players bar J.Cole and Rooney are remotely creative either (Especially not the other wide players).

There are lots of examples of him taking on players too, but I've wasted too much time here anyway, I'll just point out that Lennon didn't really pose too many problems for 31 year old Bocanegra, an aging and increasingly slow USA fullback.

come on dude.. one of the most boring matches i ever watched and you come to me to say: you see? heskey man of the match. it could be anybody on the pitch cuz everybody sucked. and your heskey missed thousands of goals as well..

by the way, good goalie you guys have! (y)

Germany best performance so far. Not scared chickens like most teams. :p

against australia? what a surprise

still they qualified. and do you think agentinia, uk or france had harder opponents to face?

you mean in the qualifiers? dude south america qualifier is one of the hardest , i dunno .. in europe there are more high top teams but i guess its all spread in many group stages. and in south america we have only one huge kinda league system .. brazil has beaten argentina at their home by 3x1 :P so thats why we believe we gonna win..

What the fuck? Urugay, Nigeria & USA the opponents of France, England & Argentina aren't exactly first class opponents either right? Still those teams didn't show shit. :)

for example.. in the confederations cup brazil won italy by 3x0(try to remember a match where italy lost by this result) and we were loosing against usa by 2x0... and we`ve had to have our comeback against them.. what im telling you is... in the WORLD CUP dude.. trust me.. and your homecountry is an example.. even if you arent playing amazingly.. you know how to win and thats it.. try to remember italy in 2006 man.. etc etc.. trust me.. this is only the group stage.. not im really concerned about the german team.. i to be honest as always i am.. i thought that germany had a really bad team.. but what i saw against australia(australia anyways is a shit team) but i realized germany has a strong tactical suited team.. and thats rare nowadays..

Firstly it's a pain in the ass trying to "read" that.

Secondly I have no idea what you point was and why you always have to mention Brazil when no1 even mentions them.
All I wrote was that Germany had the best performance of all teams who played so far. That's it. Looking forward to Brazil Portugal & Netherlands

You didn't "think", you assumed, because you're caught up in prejudice.

This is potentially the best team we ever had.

no u misunderstood what i meant, what i exactly wants to explain is: countries like: italy, germany, france.. even when they play badly.. they are strong in the world cup as much as they go through tp the next stages better they become.

The Italy in 2006 that needed 75 minutes to score a goal against Australia?

OK, I remember them. What was your point again?

and we have beaten germany in 2002 by what? 3x0 3x1? refresh my mind

this isn't about Brazil, it's about how well Australia played last World Cup.

thats what im saying, when brazil.. argentina.. play a small team.. or just a decent team.. we dont play with our best enforces. but against bigger teams yes... we do very often.

edit: its about lack of motivation

Netherlands vs Italy, Eurocup 2008. 3-0.

hi.
lmao@everyone.

especially aids guy.

am drunk edit:
this was the first game to be really entertaining. very well executed offensive play.
and you all know it.

yeah, cacau aids guy scored for your homecountry how do you feel about it?

HAIL NAZIS!

i <3 it.

to be honest haha i laughed when i saw it hahahah

Also Cacau didn't start as some even though some person was so sure of it.

How do you fell about being wrong once more?

im even wrong, the guy enter in the game and just need a few minutes to show why he`s better than your old klose, anyway you see? what did i say about podolski? is definitely one of the best yes i was wrong, podolski > cacau

cacau did nothing special with his goal, imo it was the easiest shot we had the whole night.
The built-up was the difficult part.
Klose's goal was a lot harder, then again he could have made one of his other chances.

But he also worked well for the team, being very active. So, if you really want to compare Klose and Cacau, I'd say Klose as a little bit ahead, yesterday.

Podolski, Özil and Müller were better than both, though.

Klose would have been there/done the same as Cacau anyway...

he didn't make a similar but little more difficult goal in the 20th minute.

But yeah I agree he would most likely have made that one.

omg. italy without buffon?

you mean in the video selection i`ve made?

no?

First round is over with Spain yet to be seen.
Changed your opinion on some of the teams yet?

I cheered for North Korea. :) They played surprisingly well and the goal was pretty nice.

The good shit starts today! Sit and enjoy! :)

If they play as boring as all the other favourites (except Germany), i'll cancel my Mallorca vacation!

viste el chico de corea de norte llorando durante el himno? jajajajaja

emoción!

ajjajajaj

:DDD

bad first 45min and now the 0:1. i am disappoint. (i'm not actually)

LOL. Sorry for your holidays :P

lmao :D

just bring some Swiss flags and go wild :P

i'm not really going there. only vacation for me this year is the hurricane this weekend.

Oh.

Well, if you say hi to my roomate or my colleague from, I'll tell my parents totake some falgs to Mallorca for you.
Deal? :]

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

I LOVE FOOTBALL DEAR GOD!!!!!! FOOTBALL <3 !!! HAAHHAHAHAHAHA

you are an embarassment to Brazil.

dont be so fool hahahahaha after you claim for a thousand words that your PITTY country was one of the best after beating australia, and i said: hahaha ok australia

now see? no dude to be honest you know NOTHING about football HAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAA HAIL HAIL GERMANY! hail the aids guy! go go cacau!

man of the match: miroslav "the polish" klose

nope, that was just you being unable to read again.
As I said, embarassing.

ahahahahahaha so funny ! hahahahah
it might be tough for you isnt it?

go go aids guy! hahaahah

I enjoyed it. :P Never thought you were going to win it from the start to be honest, your manager is a bit stupid to say the least. I said before the tournament started that Germany will win it and I'll stick by that.

good man!

what did i tell you about germany?

Hopefully he'll listen to "rexob" before next game.

Yeah, Chile are the most exciting team in the tournament, but we already knew that :)

i definitely LOVE football! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LMAO@SPAIN

surprising performance by Uruguay
also i'm glad to see Álvaro Pereira at the World Cup doing well (he was playing in the shitty Romanian premier division for a season.. always thought he was better than that)

well yeah, im glad for them too, i hope they rock through the next stage. what do you think about mexico vs argentina at the 8th finals ?

yes they can

Germany in the 2nd round, then possibly Argentina, then possibly Portugal in the semi final.

It's time for revenge against the dirty, cheating, war starting, winking tossers.

Football's coming home again folks, you heard it here first.

ehehe ... I can already see Lampards/Gerrards failed penalty.

England winning against us in a tourney will never happen.

O RLY?

1966 World Cup Final?

don't be ridiculous.

never.

don't you mean your footballers are coming home soon?

I'm actually confident we'll beat you, for once.

Half your team is injured as well.

unlucky mayng

How did Scotland do in the World Cup?

Oh wait...

i was gonna troll you but i didn't have the heart

anyway yes you did better than the tartan army. maybe next time !

Maybe...

But it's not gonna happen is it? I mean, ever.

Scotland is in only 4.5 people so only really 10% of the uk (if that).

England have more people to play for them.

Scotland in world cup would be fun indeed. You are prob right but i am gonna say the opposite....

SCOTLAND WIN NEXT WORLD CUP.

It's not about the amount of people it's about getting the best out of the talent that is there.

Our coaching methods have been criticized a lot today (by even me myself), but we produce good talented players.

But as I said, the way youngsters are coached is completely wrong in this country IMO.

Doesn't help in Scotland how your biggest league is about to the standard of the Conference North/South in England. It's Sunday league football up there basically.

i know its shit :(

i don't even watch football.

only the world cup

Argentina Brasil final

im surprised you guys`ve beaten serbia today, unfortunately this awakening was too late... :/ i hope i`ll see australia in the next world cup

Not Italy.

HAHHAHAAHHAA

thats for you, italy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-xsosv6uM0

all europeans vs. each other. :<

Needs more bratwurst.

what's all that crap around the wurst?

The anti-wurst around the wurst is there to limit the power of the wurst.

I knew it!


My mother lied!!!!

i'm excited.

!!!!!!

so, this is like the worst german team ever to you?

lets see.. dont forget that england got qualified in 2nd...

aha.

I did say, you have a poor team. (for your high standards of course)

I also said we had a completely shit team, especially the defence. :P

Good aren't I?

EDIT: That was directed to agu, reply fail.

its alright man, i think our coach didnt cap good replacers.. after elano got injured.. the whole team felt down.. daniel alves isnt a center midfield(thats obvious) and also that crazy felipe melo man.. what a bastard.. i think about the rest.. we have a good team.. to be honest.. :) after the japanese given a yellow to michel bastos by robben`s diving dunga replaced michel for gilberto silva(the problem is.. gilberto silva is a fullback left but he`s been playing as a winger or attacking midfield for like 2 years or something :0)

but yeah i agree in part.. but i also think this team has more balls than any other squad we had :D
