Germany Out

I DON’T BLOODY CARE FOR ANY OTHER TEAM !!!! WE FU*$#IN DIDN’T DESERVE TO LOSE !!!!
Man, I am sorry if I am being rude…I am not in my senses.

Ill join you Sakshi in mourning. Germany was my pick too.

*sob*

Just watch the last two games and watch some good soccer.. The only advantage of not making it to the World Cup is that we dont have to pick loyalties and can sit back and enjoy the games….

yep…sad… Germans lost. Saw the entire match. If they could have hold out for just 2-3 more minutes, it would have been penalty shoot-out and Germany had a great chance there as they are good at it. last match vs. Argentina, they had 4 consecutive goals during shootout. but alas…Since all my predictions are turning out to be false, I am going to now support Portugal, the least expected one.

@Libran, very true. BTW, I am a Libran too. We can enjoy the game rather than being worked up when someone pushes an Indian player, and the referee does not show a yellow card.

@sakshi,
Germany did play well overall. They were playing good organized and attacking football. In my honest opinion, this was one of the best matches of this world cup. If you had watched without favourites, it was an amazing game. The game swung both sides, both teams had good chances. In the end, the team with a better goalkeeper made it.

France ?? I wonder why you like such teams. So dull and dour, except zizou. And I must say again, tough men dont cheat. They dont need to, in fact.

I suppose, todays match between France and Portugal is also very unpredictable. France might get through, but its difficult to get past Italy. They are not the best team around, but still Italy is finding form now.

>> WE FU*$#IN DIDN’T DESERVE TO LOSE !!!!

Thats all right, but I dont know when were “WE” playing in the world cup??

Anyway, I would bet on Portugal. These guys are in awesome form since last two years. And the Scolari effect is showing Its just not about skill alone, its about tactics too. See how Van Basten’s team held Argentina to a goalless draw.

I STILL DON’T BLOODY CARE…

Actually even I don’t care who wins now…but I would surely we happy if its not the Italians. I hate them !

Hey, I thought you liked tough men
I dont think Italy cheated anywhere in the game. Or that the referee was smart enough, he did not give much chance to Italians to cheat. I miss Collina, the best referee in his time(ohh and an italian too). I used to watch him perform rather than the players, many a times.

Anyway, yeah, only Germany out of the last four actually deserved to be in the semis, the rest seem to be riding their luck. France was almost eliminated at the group stage itself, and were lackluster throughout, plus dull and dour.

I have hopes from Portugal, but I never thought they would reach the semis. Brazil would have creamed them, but then France did Portugal a kind of favour by eliminating Brazil. But now that my dark horses have come so far, they might go all the way.

France is going to win the 2006 world cup.

>> France is going to win the 2006 world cup.

Yes , they would if they continue their underhand cheating tactics as they did against portugal. Yeah, but they meet the masters of that in the finals… lets see who can cheat better, france or italy
