[Football] *** Das offizielle Deutschland gegen Schweden thead. ***

[Herr Tubthumper]

Oh yes!!!

The sausage eaters are on their way home

"There're going home there're going home the krauts are going home"

We can laugh meantime. If it stays the same we'll also laugh longest.

Angela, Adolph, Kraftwerk, your boys are taking a hell of a beating

I’m out so not watching it, but couldn’t not pop by to say something.

Scenes.

Germany are finally facing their Waterloo.

...

Boooooooooooooo!

Right, That was fun. I’m signing off in a bit. Have a nice evening everyone.

You knew it was coming Sod’s law is they knock us out now

 

[lawros left foot]

I hope everyone is getting on the late goal in this W/C, it is very profitable, I started the day on 13 quid, and after a late goal in each game, I’m on82 quid.
I would have preferred a Sweden late one tonight, tho.

Hector was out injured for first game. Hummels today. Boeteng obviously out for the last group game. Hopefully all back for first knock-out game.

To be fair though Plattenhardt wasn’t really the issue in the Mexico game. Kimmich was, and how stretched it made Hummels and Boateng.

 

[Mellotron]

It could essential that we don’t win our group now. Win it and it could be Brazil or Germany in a QF, finish second and it could be Mexico or Switzerland.

France v Argentina and Germany v Brazil in the second round with Brazil or Germany then playing Belgium would throw this tournament so wide open.

Goal difference wise now looking likely we’d have to beat Belgium to come top. Let’s have a lovely draw or narrow loss to them. Would be absolutely Sod’s law to beat a Belgium side resting players and accidentally play a rampant Brazil in the quarters.

 

[Saunders]

Get our business done tomorrow with a routine 2-0 then make a few changes and aim for a tame 0-0 against Belgium would be my plan. Under no circumstances do we want to win that game.

I’m not saying it’s going to be England but there is undoubtedly a HUGE opportunity in this half of the draw for a slightly unfancied team to make a run to a semi final. It could be us, it could be Mexico or it could be whoever comes through the very tight Group H.

I think Belgium are way ahead of you announcing resting players already. It will be interesting.

That was very close HT. Rather like us I suppose

 

[lawros left foot]

They can rest as many as they want. We don’t have to win. If we just go out with the aim of getting a 0-0 and nothing better then Belgium will be on course for Brazil or Germany and there’s nothing they can do about it.

Of course, Brazil haven’t won their group yet. That’s still tight going into the final game and them finishing second would make everything I’ve just said irrelevant.

FFS, how long have you supported England?

You should know, you never, ever count your chickens. We still have to play Panama tomorrow, let’s see what happens first, then start planning where we come in the group. I’ve been watching/ supporting England all my life, they never do what’s expected, good or bad.

Maybe our lads better get practising missing open goals and easy chances then. They obviously knew this was coming, which is why they started last week.

 

[Eeyore]

Apparently last time the Germans went out in the first round was 1938.

Best not upset them, eh.....................

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Well that was disappointing....

A Serbia win and Switzerland win would be bloody awesome mind

 

[Winker]

One day their luck will run out.

I really can’t get over the stupidity of the tackle that gave them the free kick. “Stand him up and don’t dive in” is one of the first instructions you give nine year olds. Glad it was picked up on the ITV analysis.

Right, over to us and hopefully a nice stress free afternoon with a cold beer or two.

Yeah, but when you wake up this morning imagine the relief that you are not German.
Swings and roundabouts.

Hope so, but I honestly don’t remember the last stress free game involving England in a major tournament.

Quite, even Euro 96 wasn’t stress-free.....

This. The thought of being 2-0 up after 30 mins today seems SO alien to me.
