chronic

old and in the way
Yep, that was definitely my best post ever. I figured I owed that to you after your succinct, well thought out and articulate post.

A big shame on the French """"""""""team"""""""""". A pathetic bunch of spoilt little thugs who dug their own grave.

How old are these dickheads? 3? 5?

I raise not my glass, but my mid finger to them.
 
Indeed, should be a good one. Sorry, you German lads, England's the elder homeland so gotta go with my common blood, piss, spit and sweat.
 
Germany has won 1:0 against Ghana - honking fests, firecrackers, Ole Ole Ole singalongs and 120 decibel vuvuzelas, of course.
 
YEAHAWWW ! England and USA ......
And Germany gets to play England , that`s the best WM match ever for all footballfans !
Both are my favourite teams , but they are not playing good matches at the time and showed his brilliance playing on the field .
And when it gets to Argentina , both have no chance !
 
World Cup's picking up.

Come on DPR Korea! Even though they're out, I'd like to see them beat Cote D'ivorie.

I think it's gonnae be Argentina or Brazil that win it.
 
England's 'gonna make it today, Germany doesn't have a good forward. Podolski and Klose are weak and Gomez can't do much more than carrying his hairband for a stroll.

Ah - reverse psychology... Very good.

1st German goal, some of Beckenbauer's favoured kick and rush football, coupled with some weak defending.
2nd German goal, shocking defending and some classy play between Klose, Mueller and Podolski.

Oh ... and while I'm writing this it should be 2-2 suddenly. What a stupid game football is.
 
I'm okay with the euphoria of football fanatics, though I will never understand why millions go loco at this sport and they don't when it's tabletennis or bobskiing or boxing etc; the mass hysteria remains a mystical phenomena to me.

But this year, to be more precise, this very moment, I would really love to throw bricks at those stupid motherfuckers' cars HONKING cruising up and down the streets and ram everbodys vuvuzela down their throats.

It's not that I'm feeling annoyed, I have to work on my mean intolerant personality instead.
 
Two days of bitter, unadulterated fuck me. Congrats to Germany!

.... the mass hysteria remains a mystical phenomena to me.

Those public displays of madness have always bemused me. How dare they be so public with that nonsense? I keep my mania behind closed doors. I scream, throw shit, curse everyone from The Jetsons to Zeus's manicurist and self-inflict all sort of minor injury. To the world at large I'm Clark Kent but in private I'm HysteriaMan.
 
argentina - mexico 1:0, a clear offside goal. this world cup will go down in history as the one with the poorest referees. thanks, josef blatter.
 
This year, my team isn't playing. So I don't watch.

David Blaine was said to be in tears today
as his record of doing Fuck all in a box for 42 days was beaten by Wayne Rooney.....
 
what i like about football games between germany and england is that there ist absolutely no poisonous or unfair behavior in it, no matter how dramatic or important the game is. it's like "ok, we are two civilized nations, we're going to have a football game now. it may become dramatic, but afterwards we might drink some pints together at the next pub" ;)

I've tried in years past to get into soccer, and thought Marco Materazzi was cool back in the day. But now, I really think the best thing about soccer, that ever existed was Bono's commercial for the 2006 world cup. I don't know why I like it, but I do.

The Netherlands 2 Brazil 1. Some who post here go enjoy the hangover. This makes up a bit for the UK and USA stench linger.
 
Thanks, liquor store, for dusting off this thread. Germany put Argentina to bed and next up Spain. Mark that one on the calendar.
 
Then again, the easy victory against Argentina could mean dangerous overconfidence in the next match.

Yes, the players should not read the 'bildzeitung' (comparable with 'the sun' in the U.K.). todays headline there: THIS IS THE WAY WE WILL GET THE WORLD CUP TITLE! (click it, if you like to see a trashy newspaper front page)

Might be the same in other countries. I read readers comments in 'the guardian', many blamed the british media & rupert murdoch for overrating the english team there.
 
I took a chance when the Netherlands won their quarter final against Brazil and booked up to go to Amsterdam for this weekend so me and my good lady will be there cheering on the Dutch on Sunday. Can't wait.

I'm not fond of crowds but if you like to be in the middle of a big party
go to het Museumplein sunday evening, they expect 100.000 supporters.
Or more. Plenty of beer & joints.
