Being a selfish idiot!!!!!!!!!!

I could not believe he never laid it off for torres, that kind of player should not play for any team. If there is nothing else on yea sure go wild but geezuz torres was in the clear.

TEAM PEDRO is all that matters.
 
Forget the calamari... erm, I mean the octopus, does this also prove that numerology is also failed? :D
 
I wonder how long before he blames the vuvuzela for not hearing Torres' call :D

I am not sure many will agree that torres is crap, he is one of the best striker in the world cup when he is fully fit and firing.

Doesn't mean much, look what happened to Brazil and they have Kaka who is so much better than torres.
AND even he ****ed up.
 
I dont want to say I told you so, but I T... Yo. S.

So Spain won pretty convincingly. There was never any doubt. I said a few times that Zee Germans might have thrashed England and Argentina but so what? They are pretty poor teams. Thats the thing with people, they see a team win 4 - 0 or 4 - 1 and suddenly they are crazy favourites.

I was always of the opinion that Germany have not played a team like Spain, who starves you of the ball. Germany were chasing shadows for the entire night. Was Oezil and Sweinsteiger playing? This wasnt your England and Argentina, this was the kings of Europe playing.

One might say that the Germans never pitched up for the game but one also has to understand that they were FORCED to play that way. Spain forces you to defend and chase the ball for 90 mins. Same as Portugal, people actually thought that Portugal decided to sit back and just let Spain dictate the game.

Teams are forced to sit back or else they will be torn apart, something Germany figured out very quickly. They hardly came out of their half in the first 30 mins.

All the negative comments about Spain only being able to win with David Villa can now be put to rest. Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets deserve a VERY special mention for tonight.

For me the standout player has to be Pedro , he was absolutely INSANE tonight! What a night he had, he showed his inexperience at the end of the night when he should have passed to Toress but overall he taught Torres a lesson on how to play football.

For the entire World Cup Torres has been useless. Pedro tonight was lively, his runs and slick passing made a huge difference for Spain.

FORCA ESPANA FORCA!

There is an existing Spain vs Germany thread. There is no need to start a new thread for you to brag - just use the thread already open, that you know about already considering you posted there. Or use your Forca Spain thread if you want. Your tirades are getting pathetic now. And I'm a Spanish supporter...
 
Spain played the best game and deserve to win. I'm off to look for a octopus .... may come in handy ;-)
 
Even paul said...i told you so....then went back to munching his mussels!!!
 
Germany gave them so much time on the ball,no pressure on thier players,spain could gently tap the ball around at the half way line with 11 germans behind the ball,dismal game by germany...the quality of passing was also poor so many interceptions,must say shweinsteiger(spelling?) and Klose had good games,the rest looked dismal...far too defensive,they just sat around waiting for the spanish to come to them by the time they had any pressure on them they were basically already in shooting range..

Good game Spain but if the final is anything like that its going ot be one hell of a crappy final...

While the germans have done well i think the way they played tonight was just stupid.

Rather lose 3-0 to spain than go out with a wimper. Paraguay troubled spain more. Shocking game and WTF happened to that german team WHO COULD ATTACK?

You can only play as well as the oppostion let you.

Spain is a far superior team than Germany.

Germany beat Australia 4-0 - Good result helped by Lucas Neill playing the germans onside at will.
Germany lost to Serbia - Werent that good.
Germany beat Ghana 1-0 - In all honesty, I thought Ghana were the better side but a good strike turned it there way.
Germany beat England 4-1 - Had some lucky decisions and scored some really good counter attacking goals. Had their tactics spot on. They didn't control the whole game like some would lead you to believe. They played good counter attacking football. They also played England who are the most overrated team on the planet.
Germany beat Argentina 4-0. Granted, a very good result. Scored early, sat back. Argentina passed and passed until Germany scored the 2nd. Argentina folded and Germany took advantage. Great result but a tactically deficient Maradone made it easier than it should have been.
Germany lost to Spain 1-0. Men against boys really...

All this revisionism about Germany is driving me crazy. They are not 1970's Brazil, like some would like you to believe. They are good young side that are more counter-attacking than attacking. They rarely control matches like Spain and Brazil do. They have a tactically astute coach who makes the best use of what they have. It seems for most people - lots of goals = great football. I completely disagree. I would rather watch Spain or earlier Brazil sides 99 times out of 100 over Germany.

Gareth Cliff who is now football expert extrordinaire (yeah right) believes that Spain worked on tactics to stop Germany. No you mong, Spain played the way they always do. Germany just couldnt find and exploit weaknesses like they did with most other teams.
 
No actually last night the germans let spain play their game, no closing down. No pressure on spain via attacking them.

Nothing all they did was sit back and defend. Pathetic game, one of the worst games i have watched thus far. Only brazil portual can top it as the worst world cup game.

Spain are allowed to play their game because for some reason teams are scared to attack them and would rather lose 1-0 than go for the win and get thumped 4-0 or possibly win.

1-0 or 4-0 you still lose, there is no prize for losing by 1 goal :D. Rather give it a go and try win than lose defending i reckon. Sad they played attacking footie through out, come up against spain and park the bus.

Nice to see 2 teams who have never won it playing in a final though.
