*Official Germany v Serbia Match Thread*

[Acker79]

We'll do Germany & from what I've seen so far there's no one to fear in this world cup!

It does seem like every team has weaknesses that means they're not as fearsome as we thought they'd be before the tournament.

However, we have yet to really click, which doesn't fill me with confidence we can take advantage of the weaknesses.

It's Pat Nevin on the radio, and what he's is saying the while the tackles were not vicious or nasty, they (certainly the second one) was from behind, and that if you have a ref who is behaving like this, then don't put yourself in a position where you give him the excuse to get booked, which is exactly what Klose did.

About right

The red card was a joke. The second foul was never a yellow card. I wouldn't even argue that Klose was stupid, since to me it looked like a fairly routine attempt to win the ball.

Spot on that.

The bookings are harsh but certainly not outrageously wrong

Loving it. Serbia one up and the TRAITOR sent off.

Think this has highlighted just how poor Australia were against Germany. Their defence was so flat that Germany had a field day. Serbia proving a different prospect all together.

Still fancy Germany to go on a win this though - even with ten men - which, with this idiot ref, is bound to be evened up at some point anyway.

Australia played with 6 midfielders on the pitch, they didn't have a recognised forward playing for them, Serbia however are a different proposition, Serbia are ranked 15th in the world so are no push over.

Who knows, without Klose in the next game an losing this one they may go out in the group stage (wishful thinking i know)

And USA are ranked 14th and people thought our draw was a bad result

England are going to win the world cup, I'm convinced.

And if this means that we end up getting Germany in the next round we will do them for sure.

8 minutes without a booking, in this half. Did he leave his cards in the changies, at half time?

He's just found them again

Vidic.

[Dandyman]

TRAITOR 2 shoots wide...

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Germany WANT to lose... vene when Srbrska are giving them a helping HAND

 

[sam86]

Oh FFS!!! :US: :US:

 

[Gwylan]

Well done Mick McCarthy, slags off the goalie - he saves a penalty a few minutes later.

 

[SNOOBS]

What was Vidic thinking?!! All 4 defenders booked for Serbia now, more reds to follow?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

What in GODS name was Vidic doing?

 

[culvers]

Well done Mick McCarthy, slags off the goalie - he saves a penalty a few minutes later.

He has been brilliant in this game - calling ref a clown was great.

One of the few good things about BBC's coverage.
