***Official Germany v Australia thread***

[El Turi]

The standard of refereeing has been high during the tournament so far but this guy is having a shocker.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

This is the young lad that was mentioned the Albion should have a look at on another thread.

It's a good one for the Aussies to win from here

They will need a swagman

 

[Gerbil]

So Tim Cahill takes out a german and could have seriously injured him...

Red card? Give him a f***ing medal!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We've played ok football in the second half.

At least the lads haven't thrown the towel in despite almost everything going against them.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Klose should have had at least four by now.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It should have been a yellow BUT it's common knowledge this ref likes to send people off so you could argue that Cahill was silly to make that challenge with such a ref in charge?

In the same way coaches now analyse player's penalties to prepare for shoot outs....I wonder if any research is undertaken into referees characterists? Just a thought.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Great finish by Müller.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Germany are quala.

 

[bha_28]

Well thats it, Germany have won it to be honest. Australia have had their chances, and didnt take them, so we will see where it goes from here

 

[Man of Harveys]

The German TV commentry said a red card was mighty harsh too, for what little it's worth

 

[tedebear]

We lost to Italy last time and they went on to win, we lose to Germany today and ....

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This is great

 

[El Turi]

The floodgates have well and truly opened.

[portlock seagull]

We lost to Italy last time and they went on to win, we lose to Germany today and ....

they're going to put England out in round 2 at this rate too! Be afraid, be very afraid everyone

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We lost to Italy last time and they went on to win, we lose to Germany today and ....

Given the Germans diving efforts today they might be trying to emulate Italy's game.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

There's as many goals in this as Germany want. 4-0 and taking the piss, frankly.

 

[El Turi]

I'm sure it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, but I can see why Ozil is so highly rated. Ran the game tonight.

 

[Turkey]

Loving this!
