*** The Offical Match Thread: Germany v Brazil ***

[Paris]

Brighton head coach Sami Hyypiä was followed by a very familiar in the German Cup semi-final performances in many other ways amazement. Germany crush Brazil's completely blown to smithereens numbers on a 7-1.
The great owl, the German expertise in the whole match was seen in a magnificent way.
- Germany played great. Simply this, Hyypiä said.
- They got it all look easy. Each ball found all the time in your player, and Germany played unbelievably intelligently.
Germany's hardly left no one indifferent, to the extent it was convincing.
- All strengths of Germany were now being raised. Playing a team work, a tactical game was very smart and in addition to the German player was reflected in the strength of the material, Hyypiä said.
- The German victory was not a surprise, at least not for me, but the way it came really surprised.

Did Hyypia mention anything about Mackail-Smith going to Bayern Munich?

The result confirmed what many in the English football world had suspected after the 6–3 defeat at Wembley: that England were no longer a major footballing force, and that the English game needed to look to the continent for tactical and training advances.

Hopefully this destroys the myth Brazil just have to turn up and are favorites.No doubt in 4 years though it will be the same old winkfest.

For basically the while game there was only 1 team, they could pass all they wanted as there were trees on the pitch dressed in Brazilian shirts. There was no defense, no midfield battle.

The pundits would still fawn over those 11 Trees and tell us they were the greatest.TBF this Brazil team are easier to fell than Trees.

Chelsea did well to get rid of Luis for any kind of money.

What kind of lowlife do you have to be to burn your country's flag, just because the NT has lost a game?

I'm glad Brazil is out.

Is this a Google translation of something Hyypia said in his own first language?

Of course.

Kept the same, hope he may have moved .. Anyhow if you've gone 3 rows back that make it you are directly behind him!

Do you remember the old song , hit him on the head, hit him on the head, hit him on the head with a baseball bat?

You are now ideally suited to do that !

Absolutely

I have kept the same seat number and block so just behind him

See you for Sheff Weds matey
