Sorry if posted elsewhere. Story about a bet that won last night. Someone in Scotland bet £100 on an accumulator that Wolves would win promotion to the Championship, QPR would win promotion to the PL, Man City would win the PL, Real Madrid would win the CL and that Germany would win the World Cup. £...

Agree that the group stages were great but I really lost my love for this WC in the Q-Fs. Still, a good one. My favourite remains 1982, possibly because it was the first that I watched as many games of as I could, and I think 1994 edges the World Cups from the last 20 years.

I think someone needs to post up a pic so i can do a proper comparison between Schweinsteiger's and Draxler's http://youtu.be/RDhcFbF443U She doesn't carry beers for him though She's a bit ordinary, tbf. Anyway, very hungover today - last night was quite something. I am not really sure how I got ho...

In German football, there is no greater shame than to lose against the Dutch. England and France are rivals yes, and there may be some history with Argentina (I honestly have no idea, which suggests it's minor) but the real hate is for Holland, all the time, every time, and it's mutual. 'Es kommt d...

I like your version more.

Video doing the rounds on the internet at the moment showing Vlaars's penalty bouncing back after the save towards the goal ... and stopping on the line ... or over it?

Refreshing to see a top footballer whose arms are not completely covered in tattoos.

Ouroboros Nah, actually I think Germany are pretty popular outside their country, except among appalling racists like your LUXs, Tulips and so on.

I want the Germans to win on Sunday. For Starfish mostly.

That makes me feel warm inside.

Agreed.

Victor Meldrew It's not surprising that the Germans play well as a unit with 6 of them playing in the same club side plus a 7th, Khedira, who used to.

Stuttgart?

How far back do you have to go for England to have scored as many World Cup Finals goals as Klose? Goals for ... 2014 : 2 2010 : 3 2006 : 6 2002 : 6 So, second goal in the 2002 World Cup was on June 7, 2002. David Beckhams's penalty against Argentina. Over a similar length of time too. Klose scored...

St Pauli I think the real question on everyone's lips is did Starfish exploit the situation in Germany last night to get any bum action?

It was Tuesday night. It was also pißing rain.

Excuses, excuses ...

After last night, I predict the complete opposite: Argentina will scrape through after a frustrating game without enough yellow cards. You watched the game last night? I thought you said you'd never ever watch another game contested by a German team because they bore you to tears, or something long...

St Pauli HNA's resident German signing in and out.

Resident in Germany > being HNA's resident German.
I'm sure Stranded will agree.

soggy biscuit German fans must have been going utterly berserk

They've already started driving around in their cars with their flags hanging out the window beeping their horns. And it's not even half-time!

Only the second time they have faced each other at the World Cup. First game in 2002 handed to Brazil by Kahn who made a terribly mistake in the final after having played superbly in previous games. Neuer to run out of the box and not quite get there in this game to hand Brazil a 1-0 lead. Whether t...

In order:

Germany
Belgium
France
Holland
Colombia
Costa Rica
Argentina
Brazil

Phenomenal. USA were stunning. Gutted for them. Really? Had Belgium lost that, it would have been 'against the run of play'. 120 minutes and the USA played for the last 10. Had it been 2-0 after 90 minutes, no-one would have had any complaints. Stunning? Really? Starfers, Jose Altidore would be pla...

Ouroboros Phenomenal.

Really? Had Belgium lost that, it would have been 'against the run of play'. 120 minutes and the USA played for the last 10. Had it been 2-0 after 90 minutes, no-one would have had any complaints.

Stunning? Really?

I will be 100% for Belgium in this. Used to live there. Had sex with natives - yes, all of them, and I am watching it in a Flemish household tonight.

1-0 for Belgium.
