Von Paulus 8 Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) http://online.wsj.co...oWhatsNewsForth I posted the Link instead of the simple score, as some here might wish to savor the complete story Eheheh. Thanks for the link uncleal, it portrays exactly what happened. I almost feel sorry for the North Korean players; for the first time they were broadcasting live for North Korea a football match with it's national team playing, and what they assist?! A complete tsunami. As for Portugal, now we'll face Brazil and that will be another matter. I hope I won't assist to another tsunami. With Brazil will never know what will happened with those wizards. But I'm confident that we will pass to the next knockout round.

Olham 164 Posted June 22, 2010 I only got that now, comparing the goals difference. What a pity! But heads up, South Africa - the first time is always the hardest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted June 23, 2010 The ol' love-hate-love-hate-love-hate-love-hate-love-hate-love relationship with England continues once again. Looking forward to a possible England vs Germany match! Yes, would be good...England played better today, but I will be 'interested' to know how they fair against the bigger, better teams.

Olham 164 Posted June 23, 2010 Some National Teams just needed better coaches, who put the right combinations together, and place the men there, where they will perform best (Gerard; right foot player = right side!). England vs Germany should be exciting: a team of experienced players against the youngsters. Could be fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JFM 18 Posted June 23, 2010 For those who think soccer/football will catch on in the states, it's not going to happen. It's a kid's sport over here, primarily. That's not meant to be disrepectful, just a direct assessment. Sure, there are some professional teams but I dare say the vast majority of Americans just aren't interested in soccer/football on a professional level that can compete with baseball or College/NFL Football or even racing. Nor do we care--at all--that soccer is known as football elsewhere in the world. That kids play it today is nothing new; all us kids had to play it in the early 70s and there were soccer fields at all the schools, and back then everyone heard of "Pele". Nearly 40 years later it's still mostly a kids game, although today I can't name any soccer/football players, beyond my two boys and their friends. Well, not true; I've still heard of Pele. It's like the metric system. Now and then they try to force it on us and every time it's shot down in flames. It's always "the rest of the world uses it." Well, the rest of the world lives in the rest of the world. What, I should move from the USA based on that, then? Meh. But, sincerely, enjoy your football! I recognize the enthusiasm and it's fun to read the banter about this World Cup deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyby PC 23 Posted June 24, 2010 It may never catch on in the US, but at the same time, there are starving penniless kids in Africa who make their own footballs from plastic bags. Love it or hate it, football is a global sport and here to stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davy TASB 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Americans are never interested in a sport they can't dominate and proclaim themselves as World Champions. It's the American way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted June 24, 2010 Americans are never interested in a sport they can't dominate and proclaim themselves as World Champions. It's the American way. They can't even play Rugby without having more Armour on than Sir Lancelot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted June 24, 2010 They can't even play Rugby without having more Armour on than Sir Lancelot! That was naught y Widow. It's in the collective sports that usually the Americans try to play it different from the rest of the world. Although, I really like how they play basketball. Since I watched for the first time a NBA match, I think it was one of those mythical Celtics vs Lakers in the 80's, I wasn't able to see a European basketball game again. Yes I'm a NBA fan since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 25, 2010 Germany has a good chance of going all the way . IF they put this guy in Goal http://www.youtube.c...h?v=iVSBtivbUs4 It's amazing what some people come up with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted June 25, 2010 Will you be watching the game Live Olham?...it will be nice to think you are...I can imagine we are in the same room..hahaha If Germany Win...I shall re-shoot down the Blacktails in revenge!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 25, 2010 Yes, I'll watch it live - with a pulse around 280! It will be a thrill - our team is very young and yet unexperienced in playing together, but they have the energy of the young. Your team is far older in general - but very experienced! I think, England could beat the German team on a psychological level. If our youngsters loose hope - they're lost! Must check, where "Jester 12" are based right now - maybe they need some more airfield defense missions flown by my team after that play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted June 26, 2010 Like so many others, this video is not available in my country, Parky. Sony Music is the worst hunter for copyright content - I only wonder, why it is mostly followed in Germany only, while everyone else can watch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest British_eh Posted June 26, 2010 Well Olham, and all Germans and Englanders - it's time soon. Although England seems to have figured it out, with Klose back it will be a huge hurdle. Hmm, I think 2-0 for the German's- unless England can score early, and then stimy them with terribly boring play. At least Green isn't in goal, poor guy. Long live the Queen What happened to Italy, it will be a rough week for them. Cheers, British_eh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 26, 2010 My (very optimistic) tip for the match England vs Germany: 2:1 for Germany. But it may well happen here, that experience will beat youth. It will be a thrill to watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted June 26, 2010 Hard luck Yanks, I thought you guys played with great spirit in this World Cup, and the Team have done America proud. But well done Ghana....party time in Africa tonight!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted June 26, 2010 Aye. Bad luck America, both spirited teams but the Ghanaians outplayed you just enough. Nevertheless you did yourselves proud in what is, after all OUR national game. What next, cricket? Or maybe as WM implies you should give Rugby a... ahem... try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
