Perhaps a little over the top Mike????

Enjoy the game, PERIOD!

PS: I will be cheering for jolly old England this afternoon.

Noap, Ian,
but other nationalities always think the wrong way when a German uses a word like 'pure'.
I had no intention to mean a word in such stu way.
even my father been too young to be involved.
reading through some Press releases last night of course I realized that the northern Isles seem in some ways still to be 100 years back in Time.
and Yes, I know that stu Germans also exist,
but nothing of such is part of My own writings and opinions.

til now we are 18 Germans, 10 Dominicans, 1 Spaniard and 1 Canadian.

GOOOOOAL!!!!!

Saw the vid alterego.... and yes it was touching.......Time to move on..........I thought about it....It kinda worked out in the long run......If we had kept winning.....It just would've awaken the US hate mongers in the world.......and the last thing the US needs now is more enemies!! LOL..........Safety .........MUCH more important...........Wow did I just justify a World Cup knockout loss.......Talk about putting a spin on things.......should have been a politician.............Now if we could only learn how to cap an underwater oil well.........Now that would make my day!!...........Good luck England.......Good luck Germany.....

Darn,
what a great Game and what a BS in case of referees again.
Yes,
Me the German, I say that.
in comparison to the over all performances in the first half I say 2:1 is well earned,
but England fought back and that Goal been a clear regular Goal for the equalizer.
the next World Cup will have Video Proofs for the Referees, you will see.
good luck to all,
the Match itself is fair and nice to watch.

I can certainly relate to that call.....BOY DOES THAT SUCK......Way too much at stake......We have the technology.............Why are we not using it???.................And don't give me that......Oh you're messing with the history and integrity of the game.....FIFA.....stop being so stubborn........do the right thing the next time around.....The rest of the world is using the technology that is available......You might want to consider joining the party.....we would love to have you........

I finally got to see a game on tv, Uruguay and S Korea. Unbelievable the Uruguayans made it through. I look to see Ghana defeating them handily.

the not given Goal been a clearn Goal, very clear, not even repetitions on video needed to see.
but overall I say Germany been a class stronger today and I stay pround on the
United Soccer Nations of Germany.
I await Mexico to go home clearly today,
Argentina Germany will be a real big Game of 2 constant strong playing Tournament Teams, in my opinion the 2 Rivals to Brazil for the Cup
