    Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

    well i have to admit, spain was the better team last night. nevertheless we just sucked, playing so passively and not daring shit... i mean, come on we can't stay back all game and hope for a counter which we then, don't even use!!! wtf...
    sad play from us in my eyes, why did loew have to change our game play by 180 degrees. or probably it was lahm's recent statement about keeping the captain position and the dispute with ballack, i guess that could have brought some trouble into the team. most stupid time to mention stuff like that... -.-
    tribute to spain, their best game in this tournament yet! now they'll only have to beat the oranges! gogogogo

    Just very good, controlled, patient football won the day. Fair play to Spain for beating a German side that was beginning to look unbeatable.

    Final really does look good. At the same time i've got to say Germany have been fucking class. For a lesson in defending as a unit and attacking as a unit i'd say look no further, i've really enjoyed the way they've gone about their business.

    I thought both sides looked very good tonight and it could so easily have gone either way. Gettiing that first goal is always the key in games this tight imo.
    exactly why I was saying destroyed is a bit harsh, lions share of possession, yes, destroyed, not in my opinion.. Germany were definitely fun to watch, and I hope they do go for it on Saturday

    I wonder how different it would have been had Mueller been there?
    Still think his yellow was a bit harsh after the hand ball on Uruguay went with out a yellow

    well i see that they got destroyed and not just beat coz spain was in control the whole game and ger game was completely blocked except for a couple of chances, so to get them from what they did to arg and eng to this must be destroying then, they def did a good effort tho throughout the the wc and i thought they had it for a min too. puyol took it by force

    sure after Spain got their goal and Germany were pressing yes it could have been 3-0.. Torres should have had one had he got the ball when he was wide open.. destroyed? I don't know about that, they deffo had a lot of possession and handled the counter attack nicely.. destroyed would be what Germany did to Australia, England and Argentina, lol

    Although Germany did have the odd chance Spain's passing game was the difference. The second half was one way traffic.

    I have a screen shot of a conversation with Tom on MSN, I'm sure he'll cringe when he see's it
    wow, yeah it was, Spain handled the counter attack brilliantly
    should be a great final


    wonder how the Germans will approach the 3rd place match
