*** Herr Tubthumper's offizielle Deutschland gegen der Oooo Ess Aaaaar Gewinde ***

Come on the Germans,.... I dont think I could face the fact that USA got further than us,...... the shame of it.

Sod the shame of it, it's that bloody chant of theirs I can't stand and the usual fawning from us as the BBC show crowd celebration shots from some random US city and bang on and on about how popular the game is over there. Who cares?! I can't stand the nation and never want them to succeed at anything.

You can't stand the ENTIRE nation? The edges are great. It's not all red necks and Christian Fundamentalists.

Tramps...

 

[The Wizard]

Mark Lawrenson is a truly dreadful commentator.

Don't like the Americans or the Germans...

Don't like the Americans or the Germans...

Really? A very rational statement, I'm sure.

Me, I have rarely met a German that I didn't like, and I love visiting the country.

And the Americans? You don't like any of them? The USA is massive, and the people are different to each other in different places. To hate them indiscriminately is just bizarre.

Well I do quite like Taylor Phinney and wish him a speedy recovery

I get your point, but I've never met any nice people from either country.

Germans - Humourless, dull and boring

Americans - Arrogant, egocentric, shoot first ask questions later...

And don't get me started on the French...

And I suppose the Austrians all wear lederhosen, the Colombians are all gangsters and the Irish are all thick? Jay, you appear to have swallowed the book of national stereotypes, published 1972.

Meanwhile, Ghana have scored for Portugal, so they've a mountain to climb.

Wonderful book.

You'd know if you hadn't eaten it instead.

HT zip zip.

 

[1066familyman]

Been watching the other game.

So what's been going on here? Pedestrian playing for a draw, or is either one of them going for it?

The Americans haven't really showed up yet, I'm sure they'll arrive later.

 

[banjo]

1-0 Germany

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ghana losing again. A three goal swing needed to put Portugal through instead of USA. All over now.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Was Lawrenson playing for us when the Spurs/Saints 0-0 stitch up happened in 78?

 

[banjo]

USA lost cause they didn't get the ball in the end zone.
