Subject: World Cup Predictions

Capello is just over rated. He managed only top teams with let's just say mediocre results for their expectations.

The Germans are always my favorites in WC and EC so I must say I'm happy with the result..:D

I think he was kind about our pampered princesses personally, they were a disgrace and some them had awful attitudes throughout....like Rooney.

Germany will not win it as we are not much of a test for any top side, we struggled against the USA so I think that says a lot without meaning any disrespect to the USA.

Upson and Terry were a disgrace today.

And James made some amatuer errors.

1st goal, his positioning was bad.
2nd one, you don't need to spread that much at that angle, he star jumps, ball nutmegs him.
3rd one, wasn't closed down, and he tried to predict, instead of wait till the ball was struck.

where can I find online video matches, or download?

no we and no germany were needed those goals, we need new rools i think...

They should introduce technology in footbal,this is disgrace for judges and WC

At the end of the day I understand Technology is expensive, BUT - this is the World Cup Finals...if we can't get the matches sorted out properly in this The Biggest of International Tournaments then what hope do we have?

Mexico - hard luck, the linemen of some of these countries are just not up to scratch, a bigger reason for the Technology to be used.

Sepp Blatter is a disgrace. FIFA are a disgrace, they have reserves of 2 666 668 000 $ can they not help the poorer countries out wih this? Instead of bullying little businessmen in SA from creating something they can sell from what is meant to be their World Cup?

At the end of the day we were not good enough, and yes in 66 we scored that goal....but it was a damned sight closer than todays shambolic decision, plus it was 44 years ago!

KLOSE AS STRONG AS PELE' !!!

(that's the end of football, I guess... )

I heard an explanation on swiss tv.
To change something in the organisation, it has to be approved by a council. This council is formed by 4 representants from the FIFA as well as one representant from each of the founding countries (england, scottland, wales and ulster). The later ones are older than 70 and pretty conservative/old fashioned.
A decision has to be approved with at least 6 votes. And I suppose that none of the 4 country representant would accept video proof.

I don't know, what blatter means about that. But I guess he has no other choice now, than to find a way to bring that through the council. :P

I read about that council too, in Newspaper. Even if it sounds like taken from the Simpsons. Some excentric old conservatives in a castle, making the rules.
Maybe the english representative now reconsiders. XD

England and arrogant?

You clearly do not know what German press wrote about England.

Hmm, i read the english press and they were even more arrogant and stupid. I can't read those stupid WW2 hints anymore. I even can't understand this english hostility. For us they are something like a rival (not a real one, 'cause they 'll loose all the important games against their lousy yellow press and the psychological pressure put on their team) but no archrival, that honor is reserved for the dutchies! ;)

@all brits: Stop this wimpy whining. In 66 you won a tournament with this kind of decision, so please have some backbone and except that you were clearly inferior! =)

We will kick your ass :D

In the final? Like 74? I don't think so! ;)

Would be about time! Time to show that you really are the arch-enemy of germany ;)

Argentina x Germany
A great game!! \o/
Get my popcorn :D

rotfl!!!

5 years at Milan[91-95] = 4 championships, 1 champions league, 3 supercups, 1 european cup, 58 unbeaten games in a row!

1 year at Real[96-97] = 1 championship

3 years at Roma = 1 championship, 1 supercup, 1 vicechampionship

2 years at Juve = 2 championships

1 year at Real[2006-2007] = 1 championship

all in all 9 championships, 1 champions league, 4 supercups - and that's...mediocre results??
