England vs Germany

[Diederick/DVK]

Who's looking forward to the game? Only 90 minutes to go. 

What's the verdict?

[Lids]

who paid the ref?

Well played, England cannot defend, and therefore deserved to loose.  I hold my head in embarrassment, they earn £40k per week.  Jeez.

Almost makes up for 5-1

[Diederick/DVK]

the referees have been horrible throughout the World Cup. i hope all goes well tomorrow afternoon! the referee during the Holland - Slovakia game tomorrow has already booked 15 yellow cards in 2 games

They earn 40k a week for "club" football not for international football - in fact their fees for the World Cup are donated straight to charity. IMHO the money they earn is inconsequential to their performance in this case.

Germany played better and were far more organised.

I'm not a big football fan, but german... It's really sad that the referee didnt count the goal for england. But this is just one mistake in a long line considering all referees in the last games.

I really liked to see germany playing this well.

Just two years to go for the next big cup for all you brits

I don't think most of those players would even get out of bed for £40k a week ..... They're on at the very  least double that...... For kicking a bag of air around?

A mate of mine said it best I think - "I don't mind who wins as long as it's a good game - but to lose for just being shit is embarassing!" Anyway, at least the England flags all over the place have been binned, anyone else see the irony in all this patriotic nonsense being represented by a flag that is made in China?

[Lids]

All the flags etc are on sale cheap, think i might get some now ready 4 the next world cup, help beat inflation

[jick]

That might be a false economy dude.......

I really don't like football and wish the dutch were out a long time ago so everything would be normal again.
@deed give the Germans a little more respect and call them by there name instead of trying to make fun of them

comment noted michael, my apologies to all fellow-loungers from german, though there's always been a bit of football rivalry but i did not mean to offend you. i get a little funny after being behind a pc for hours writing my thesis. now go back and talk crap about dutch football on ARD kidding.

I also think so.
