Theyve done it again. Made out its a young inexperienced team....and then hammer all in sight. Bet even the octopus didnt see that coming.

    Are they going to march into Poland next?

    To celebrate with the families of all their Polish players.

    Don't forget Mr Sheen, he's Polish.

    ( Paul, the Octopus...what a Guy! He's up in arms, apparently. )

    Look on the bright side - Maradona publically humilated :D

    That said, I think most of England will be honorary Spaniards on Wednesday evening.

    I hope the Germans win the world cup, It will condone their policy of bringing youngsters through the ranks, plus they're the best team in the tournament,IMHO.

  • Forget the Germans nicking all the Poles. They've got a geezer called Boateng that they've roped into their side. Typical Ghanaian name I think. Handy too.

    Frank the Tank has it right. They'll sweep all before them. Only problem they have now is their dirty little secret is out and they're underdogs no longer.

    Will they do an England and buckle under the weight of expectation?

    Will they heck. I've lived in Germany. They fear nothing and will keep it simple and organised. No showboating (save for Klose's somersault at the end, when it was well in the bag) and no diving or primadonna-like conduct. Soon-to-be worthy winners, IMO. And w/out Ballack too. Classy.

    Schweinsteiger always stayed on his feet, strong and on a mission, refusing to go down like a sack of spuds at the first opportunity. Something defences aren't used to at this WC. That's why he was always able to provide such great ball.

    A certain Mr. Rooney used to be like that. He was always a talented, petulant brat. Now he's also an overpaid one.

    To be fair, he was born in Berlin, as was his half brother who does play for Ghana.

    Their Brazilian striker though....

    + ein.

    The Germans deserve to win it on the football played so far and having adopted several dogs abused beyond sanity by spanish farmers, I'd not cheer for them if they were the only team in the tournament.

    time for a severe radical rationalisation of the whole Brittish/English league football system and bring in some local heroes not some overpaid "Johnny foriegners"

    THE MOST RADICAL WAY FORWARD would in my opinion be to have a "team England".

    The FA set up a team/squad and are run as a seperate entity altogether, players will either play for England because they want to, or they play club football. Team England would be able to deal with other teams like any "normal club" and be free to play any number of international friendlies and games against clubs worldwide at their leisure.

    This would do away with the eternal club/country debate and the farce of unavailable players for friendly games,and also player burn-out (if there is such a thing). Obviously funding could be an issue but isn't that a way of football life. Of course a whole youth programme would be in place to support such a team.
