TheEnd Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Spain won and deserved it, despite their utter inability to shoot. I'm shocked. Actually the Germans weren't bad in the match. It's just that the Spaniards completely neutralized them everywhere. This is actually quite true.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) If only Muller had been there, the Germans would have a better chance. But then again, it'll probably make little difference... Edited July 7, 2010 by Namie Amuro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 But then gain, it'll probably make little difference... I don't think so. Trochowski is more of a defensive player, and Kroos that replaced him really made difference, and played more like Muller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) My dad's overjoyed, he has both Spain and Holland in a sweepstake, he can't lose. Yeah, thanks for rubbing it in. Not like it hurts like hell enough already considering that team is my heart and soul or anything. If it's any consollation, my team was knocked out first.

Super Mecha Death Christ Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Wow, this really is a shock. I was totally looking forward to Germany being in the final battle. It really looks like Spain has a chance at winning this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hard to say that for sure. I would have said Germany if they hadnt lost but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I would have said Germany if they hadnt lost but meh. Yeah, but Germany are a completely different team to Spain. Germany would likely have overpowered NL but perhaps NL can outplay and shut down Spain? And of course, the effects of the goddamn ball/referee/vuvuzelas (delete as applicable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yeah, but Germany are a completely different team to Spain. Germany would likely have overpowered NL but perhaps NL can outplay and shut down Spain? Indeed. Holland is a more offensive team(and not like Spain, with all those passes rottening the opponent), which would result in more counterattack chances for Germany. They wouldn't wait for Spain to fuck up to create chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Shards Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I do think Mueller would have made all the difference. I was hoping, however, that they wouldn't need him. Spain surprised me by actually coming to play this time. I hadn't seen that from them all tournament. I think Holland will win. Like you said, Holland doesn't wait for counterattacks. They're going to be there to kick your ass off the bat, not wait for you to screw up. Which results in them screwing up, which Spain doesn't handle nearly as well as Germany does. So I think Spain will have less of a chance than Germany would have had. Either way, it'll be the first time for either team, so we'll have a new Cup winner. Germany should get third place.

Jaybee Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 God dammit... I was hoping Germany would win. Losing Muller really hurt them. Also, IMO Netherlands will beat Spain in the finals. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burning_phoneix Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 In the eternal words of Jimmy Greaves :"Football is a funny old game" Doesn't mean my pre-tournament predictions of a dutch win won't be correct. Anyway: NEW NAME ON THE CUP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Which results in them screwing up, which Spain doesn't handle nearly as well as Germany does. Because the Spaniards are so focused in making the most awesome dribbling perfect play they forgot to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikethfc Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Exactly. Germany can't lose tonight. It's impossible. Wow. It would appear that bloody octopus is a better forune teller than both of us out together :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Shards Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Apparently Podolski, Lahm, and Klose are all sick and aren't playing... EDIT: Neuer is out too... Edited July 10, 2010 by Crystal Shards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Shards Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) BEAUTIFUL GOAL. Nice job to Schweinsteiger as well! EDIT: I feel like Germany would be thrashing Uruguay if we had all our players. Uruguay isn't doing poorly by any stretch of the imagination, but I mean... Germany is holding up pretty well considering the circumstances. Edited July 10, 2010 by Crystal Shards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
