The Football.....

I'm prepared to take some stick for this, but I think that Luiz is a good player,

I'll agree with that.

Germans are confident -

The difference between a fading team and a rising team is that players in a rising team all want the ball and tackle to get it or position themselves to receive it whereas the other team receive the ball and think WTF now nobody wants it so they either loose it or punt high and hopeful. The only Brazilian player seemingly wanting the ball was Oscar who should have had a penalty just like 'groundman' Robben did at the other end but Robben is well experienced at winning free kicks and penalties. It was a cruel ref that booked Oscar for diving when he didn't and not Robben who did it constantly. He leans back on a player and when the other guy moves Robben falls over and the ref awards a free kick, you will note that a number of Dutch players work on the referee, constantly badgering and acting up.

Anyone agree Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella looks like a cross between Marlon Brando and Karl Pilkington?

 

[Brandane]

C'Mon the Germans!

up the Krauts

Why on earth hasn't the BBC told the commentators how to pronounce Klöse? It's either ''closer'' or ''close'' with them. Klurzer!

 

[Stephenite]

Two deserved yellows so far.

It's close, but i think i want the argies. I don't owe anyone any favours and noone owes me. Krauts have won three WC Argies two. So argies winning will even it.

Absorbing first half.

Christ it's half time of the final!
Just woke up ,haven't missed much! Post hard ride BBQ and beer was to much!

First two goals were nothing special but the third was a real stunner...

 

[rich p]

Would it invoke Godwins Law to speculate mischievously if any of the Argies were descendants of escapee WW2 Germans?

 

[rich p]

A goal would certainly help this cagey game

Oh, bollix - bloody ET

Oh, bollix - bloody ET

Is ET the 3rd German sub?
