Makes England's result seem OK.

What a battering At the beginning many peeps were laughing at me when I said Germany had more collective arsenal to get further than Spain or Argentina, well, there we are (though Spain is still in the race). But wow... a good afternoon to watch it on giant screen when a couple of german lads, I think I'll hit Berlin or something if they make the finals.

You know, I know that a lot of soccer players are smaller than most American athletes, or spend less time in weight training, etc. I know that. And yet still Xavi doesn't even remotely resemble a professional athlete to me. He looks like a tax lawyer.

I can't explain why and I know it is completely irrational, but for some reason I absolutely hate Xavi and his 800 short passes per match.
I know he is a quality player with great vision and creativity etc... but I just despise him.

That is all.

I kind of get that, at times I'm just kind of like get along with it ffs, do something, take a shot, etc.

Wow Spain are in trouble, if Paraguay makes this penalty they can just bunker and they are tough to score against.

And for fuck's sake, thank you for a ref finally calling a penalty on that kind of bullshit grabbing in the box. What the fuck are you doing Pique?

Oh he saves it. Wow.

the fuck is going on here?
