The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

Germany has created the perfect Aryan race. They cannot be stopped.

german’s blitzkrieg is unstoppable!!

since 1996 I have not seen such dominance from a german team in parts …

sure argentina has had a good 25 minutes, but overall they have been contained

best player was Schweinsteiger by a mile … or two miles … was on Messi all game, great playmaking, nice solo … might been in Scheinis top 3 performances ever

hope we get spain and then holland … I’m really hype now since Klose is not the shadow of himself last season and everyone playin for each other. But that Müller will be out next game will hurt. Piotr Trochowski is not as good.

@ Divinus
What the …??? This country is more free and open then the US for example and if you look at the players and the mixes you should notice that your commend was very displaced and offending.

Well, i didn’t see that coming.

Can’t have nothing but admiration for the Germans, plays the argies off the pitch really suckered them in.

the germans know how run a league, fans are really treated well and thought of, things like free travel in the city on match days safe standing areas low ticket prices, no one person can own more than 49% of one club, the development of youth, and it’s paying off.

the premier league really need to take a look at itself, 45 quid to go and watch west ham and that was a shit seat to, clubs in danger of going under blah blah blah

Just depresses me how badly the fa run our game

In homage to the germans great performance i celebrate german style

Well, still most of the german top players and youths wanna go to the England or Spain though. It’s still the biggest market to make huge amounts of money and get that international image.

But I agree since our development was so bad in 1998 and france showed us how to do it many things changed. Specially in bigger cities like here in Berlin.

that’s the difference between the germans and the english, they see there’s a problem and they do something about it and commit to it, and i think in time you will be able to keep your best players and attract other world class players

Here we just talk make a few token gestures and sit on our hands, it’s easy for me to say after you go beat the argies 4-0 but there system really sees the bigger picture, not just the money grabbing antics of the FA

Nah, all this lineup to only one thing. Spain going to be champs of the world. Believe me.

lol looked a bit at the statistics now and indeed … Messi was nearly never helping his d the 8,6 km he ran around are quite under the average. In generel I think germany’s biggest plus since 2002 and the new blood is that their is no single dominant star. Even if Ballack would play, he’d put himself way back behind the team. Just like Schweini changed his game.

Those ā€œall south american finalā€ predictions are starting to look a little shaky now >_>

The result isn’t surprising at all, the only surprise is Argentina making it to the quarter finals. I hope we get a real coach next time.

We need Jack Bauer to stop zee Germans.

I’m not even sure Jack could have handled these Germans

ALL HAIL THE DEUTSCHLAND!!!

predictions?

spain 2 paraguay 0

I’ve been terrible so far i think i’ve only got one right if that, i think torres will score tonight he cant be so bad again can he?

Spain haven’t started well, damnit Cesc better get some game time!

Way to drop the ball there, genius.

yeah, i think they’ve been very slow to start in all there games so far, paraguay haven’t been as negative as i thought they’d be.

I think they should give cesc a start, because i’ve not really seen anything from xavi so far even iniesta hasn’t been that good

xavi giives another over weighted through ball, but i feel a fit torres could have got to that, he looks very lethargic

Fucking lines man/ref denied a clear goal!
Come on Paraguay!

come on, when the ball was played to cordoza he was offside, when it fell to the other guy who’s name i cannot remember it didn’t matter

ok that’s it torres is fucked what is del bosque doing?
I swear they are trying to kill this boy, he gets rushed back from injury far to much, but in fairness he’s had no service at all this game

WELL DONE REF!! more refs need to be doing this shit

OH SHIT cordoza is john mensah!

LOL oh shit wtf this is crazy shit

the ref has gone insane

OH SHIT!!!

Holy shit what a clutch save.

LOL what a turnaround this past 30 seconds.

OH, Casillas stepping up!

Lol penalty kick for Spain now :o!

Lmao omg, that shit was crazy!:wow:
