World Cup 2014

[Mark TKO]

We were all surprised Brazil actually reached the semis weren't we ?

Rode their luck to get here and certainly didn't look like winners.

Ok the reult was a bit freakish. Despite ultra shit defending, hilarious when Hansen analysed it, Germany just had one of those 5-10 minute spells where everything went in. Have seen those just a few times in football in my lifetime - hell even England had one against Holland in Euro 1996 when we couldn't miss for a few minutes ! Would you believe Brazil actually had more shots on goal last night.

The German's mental strength and composure is second to none. Danny Wellbeck would have blasted all those chances straight at keeper in blind panic rather than showing composure to pass to an unmarked team mate in the clear. England need to take note of how the Germans do things - our utter bollocks premier league doesn't help and neither does this political correct shite that goes on at school sports days where there are no winners or losers any more, just taking part is rewarded ! I bet the Germans don't have such shite. We need to breed winners not also rans. Rant over.

I think Holland v Germany is a fair final as those two probably been the best of the tournament.

Sports day is closer to Olympics though. And Britain kick Germany's arses in that.
And Australia's. And France. Italy. Brazil.

you know what i meant ffs

Even if Germany had a really shite team eg Joe Hart in goal, Leighton Baines in defence, Gerrard in midfield, Wellbeck up front etc..... would you back against them ?

No cos mentally they could still pull a result out

I know what you mean.
I agree with you fully with regards to our football team. Just get on my soapbox when it's applied to other sports.

true

we piss on them at snooker and darts

And Rugby. Cricket. Cycling. Boxing. Loads of Olympic sports. Had more Formula One world champs than them (more than any nation in fact).

In fact Football is all they have over us I'd say.
