I think they could have won and make it very difficult for the Germans, but they didn't.l Agreed. Thanks to Neuer and Lahm Ghana didn't score. The rest of the German defense was extremely weak yesterday, especially Mertesacker, who played as if he had a terrible toothache. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Agreed. Thanks to Neuer and Lahm Ghana didn't score. The rest of the German defense was extremely weak yesterday, especially Mertesacker, who played as if he had a terrible toothache. Actually, it was just Mertesacker who played horrible. Almost every lost ball was his fault, he was never close enough to his opponent and didn't have any offensive drive at all. Lahm and Friedrich played great and Boateng played alright. Same mixed bag in the midfield, Özil played fantastic but Schweinsteiger had one of his worst games in months. | | | | - Jan |

While you can call that cheating it's not as if other teams don't do this as well, especially Italy is a master in faking injuries. How's the saying, what comes around goes around? In the end, while of course it seems more interesting to see Italy go though, they never deserved it. They didn't play well in any of the matches they played and they didn't create chances until the last minutes. Paul |

Japan did great today, incredible free kicks from Honda and Endo!  And since my other two favourites (Netherlands and Germany) made it to the round of 16 as well, it's all good!  |

But it's unfair of course. A good "playing down the clock" was shown by England. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

Paul you are right on that every team does the injuring faking thing. i wish they just would not do it at the end of the game and just close it out. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes we know, even Heskey scored!
Talking about ooooooold games:
Our revenge for Wembley '66 in 1972 (England: 1, Germany: 3)
This will be a hard match for both of our teams and no matter who wins: if they don't improve immensely Argentina will finish them off. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
