We are actually going to Win the World Cup- The Other Teams' Thread - [R}

I wish there was a way these two could both lose the final....as it is Argentina at 5/2 in 90 minutes seems like decent value...I think the Germans will find the Argies a much tougher nut defensively than the Brazilians were...

 

They'd probably find most under 12 girls teams a tougher defense to break down than Brazil.

 

I still can't get over the way DL headed the ball straight to the Dutch player instead of heading it behind for a corner...

 

If Argentina park 3 defensive midfielders in front of their back 4 ,like they did v Holland ,they will clearly be tougher to beat.

Plus their central defenders hold their position for the entire game ,unlike Luiz who thinks he is an attacking midfielder .

 

Noises coming out that Aguero and even di Maria, (for part of the match), will be available...

I'm slightly favouring ze Germans atm, (because of european connection as much as anything), but if there's any of this crap from the likes of Muller, that can evaporate very quickly indeed...



Tip: turn your sound off if you value your sanity.

 

Both teams have afew divers. I think Germany have to win it so its tougher for Blatter to slash the UEFA allocation of places ,like he wants to .

 

Yeah... that's a consideration as well. Soooo... it's on with the bratwurst and Pilsner then

Actually I've always rather liked sauerkraut with those German sausages, so...

 

To celebrate the new German appreciation on here, I've raided sinner's music collection and come up with these:

 

Let's be honest fellas... if we had to listen to that stuff all the time, we'd probably want to go and invade Poland as well, wouldn't we...

I think I've mentioned before when discussing national anthems that, IMO, everyone seems to have a nicer one than ours and this is one of my favourites.



Of course, Haydn was Austrian, not German but the krauts have always been a bit fuzzy about that whole area

So, it's on with the lederhosen and off we go, (until Muller dives like a big girls blouse then it's out with sauerkraut and in with the corned beef).

 

35 minutes until it kicks off! Put half of my winnings from yesterday on Germany..

I expect Germany to win, but you never know.

 

I am going to try to watch the whole game - if I can last out. I remembered the other day that I'm a quarter German but that hasn't helped give me a bit more interest. Still we don't want the Argies to win do we?

 

It's also not the English national anthem - it's the national anthem of the UK. We should really have something of our own for sporting events.

 

Like the yanks say, 'I'm hearing you on FM'...

 

Give it a few years and the rest of the UK will be gone anyway....

 

I don't think ze Germans will have it as easy this game as the last one.

 

Kramer takes one on the jaw...

 

Kroos heads it straight to Higuain who fluffs the shot with only Neuer to beat.

 

Argentina having the 3 DM's screening their defence make chances very hard to come by..
If Higuain had put that chance away ,Germany would be in serious trouble.

 

Higuain... only the 2 yards offside.

 

more like 5 yards off side..

Kramer comes off..
Losing Khedira before kickoff really damaged their intended system .

 

I see the Brazilians were casting around looking for scapegoats and someone said they were suffering from the fact a lot of their young kids left for Europe when they were kids.

You gotta say, it doesn't seemed to have hurt the argies much, does it.

Come to that it hasn't hurt ze germans either.

 

Howedes off the post with nobody challenging him. He should have put that away.

 

Rio looks like he's dressed up to fly an easyjet plane

 

Maybe earning some extra cash whilst he's out there?
