Indeed! 'Character' can work against you, as well. As he has displayed in these last 2 games. Woeful defending (said the expert ).

50 mil!? Hmmmn.

 

PSG, must be hoping Chelsea don't cash that £50 million cheque for David Luis

On his world cup performance he would not get into our Thusrday night village 11 kick about

Shocking, makes Andy Carroll seem like a good buy at 35 million

 

Well Sideshow Bob actually did better than I expected

 

Character has its place. But not sure about his head that let off that useless header, only to put the ball straight at the feet of the opponent, and help them score their second goal. Imo no need to cut his head off, but re-electrocution may help.


Disorganised performance from Brazil on this level. Dutch scores and their scorers aside, hats off to Robben and Kuyt for their meaningful running about. Kuyt even had his head elbowed with some mighty force, but he kept playing after his gash was stapled and all! Mind you, I saw another player in another game a week or two ago when he also had his head injured and bled quite heavily with someone's accidental head butt. I was worried that he could pass out during the match, but he played the whole game proactively with little cotton wool and a fishnet over his head. Anyway, congrats to Netherlands for becoming a thirdie. Thirdie's third goal was spectacular!

 

lol

Not his actual head.

In my world: 'head' = hair or general face. I find the term amusing.

Example:
The wife drives me crazy - she spends two-and-a-half hours every day going to town on her her head.

 

Ha, Chiles is talking about having to throw away the Brazilian jerseys he bought for his nephews...

Kind of like the way England's departure went down with whole of Africa in SA then , lol

 

Yeah, but if you chop someone's head off, you'll end up spending your life behind bars, whereas you'll get away with just sweeping some roads/cleaning public toilets for chopping someone's hair off against their wish.

LOL I did know what you mean. I was just playing.

Let's see what happens tonight. Most this end seem to think that Germany is now invincible, but I don't trust Args to lose so conveniently. They seem to be tough cookies.

 

What an incredible backdrop Rio is for the cup, just stunning.

 

Awesome goal , shame they offside.


Best player in the world, partly because he knows how to share

 

It certainly is, Duncan.

Good first half, I thought. Plenty of opportunities missed from both sides, no goal from either side, but still quite a game to keep me on the edge and not putting me to sleep. This called a quality match so far despite 0-0.

No. 13 from Germany was a bit childish for pulling and pushing that Argie.

Let's see how it unfolds for the latter half.

 

WTF! Messi missed such a close opportunity again!

 

Wow! The German goalkeeper flew so high in the air to deflect the ball, and ended up tw@tting the bearded Argie unintentionally! That was a good show from the Germans despite the accident.

Less injury dramas so far; no big ones at all with physios coming in etc.

 

Right. It's doing my head in now with Germany missing two opportunities so closely! Over 70 mins gone. Someone needs to score; I don't care who.

 

Aye up.....Rat tail is on

 

The best shot of the match so far?

...That of Christ the Redeemer with the sun as a 'halo'. Amazing.

 

That Julie Walters lookalike Argie manager needs to keep away from the pitch before he gets in to play himself. I doubt his physical strength.

30 more mins. I really hope it doesn't resort to penalty shoots.

 

Christ, German Bastian's cheek got busted and German 13 collided with an Argie. It's getting more anxiety filled now.

GOAL by Germans!!!!!

 

Bet the girlfriend Germany would win.

We'll see

 

Well done the Europeans!

 

Well done, Germany! What an Audi style goal it was from that German kid! Congrats to the worthy World Cup winner team!!

Argies played well, too. Well done to them for securing second place.

 

Argies lost that one,as much as anything, apart from the young Germany guy

Still Brazilians don't feel so bad

 

 

 

Ze Chermans.

 

That rat tail is ludicrous!

 

Don't remember the wags turning up last world cup...

 

Those German wags just now were uber hot.

 

Messi messed up the last moment free kick for ARG. Had he not, it could have been a game changer.

 

Poor Messi. Feel sorry for him.

 

Best player...what a load of fifa inspired nonsense

Even he knows it wasn't so
