GO GERMANY!! World Cup 2010
 
So being a first generation German-American in my family, we are following Germany's performance in the World Cup with definite interest. After they destroyed Argentina and their loud-mouthed overrated coach Diego Maradona, I believe now the German team will win their first World Cup since 1990 and 4th overall. Spain is next up for the German team, making I believe their first ever semi-final appearance in WC play. THe Netherlands plays Uruguay in the other semi-final match. Should be interesting!

I don't care if it's the World Cup, Euros, or a meaningless friendly, I always root for Germany to lose. Hopefully Spain or the Netherlands kick their ass.

LukeA 07-04-2010 03:12 AM

NETHERLANDS all the way. No connection to the country or the team, but, uh, I kinda want them to win.:cool:

Word.

"Little English Girlies" didn't win both wars now, did they, German press?

YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I'm all with ya, David :D :D. Spain's gonna be an easy thing after we beat England & Argentina into DA GROUND! The Spanishs played such a lame game against Paraguay last night...phhhh.
But, yes, when I think about it, I like the Netherlands team. They're so funny with the orange shirts and the funny names... Then again, I'm always up for the party whoever wins. In fact I just came home from partying all night and day :woohoo:.

I know! If Paraguay had had ANY offense at all, they could have taken them. I'm torn, though. My heart's rooting for Germany...but Spain means a much bigger party :laugh: I guess I'll find out who I want to take it all on Wednesday.

I'm for Germany, 'cause if they win, Serbia will officially be the only team who beat them, and that's way too cool :cool:

I mean, during this particular World Cup. Seriously ! (what? anyone else beat them?)

Musicman408 07-04-2010 02:44 PM

Yes, definitely rooting for Germany in this one- I am a quarter German!

England, 1966. The final was England/Germany and we won. I'm never letting go of that :lol:

Tatjana if I could I'd be hurting you right now! :lol: That score would have been more painful if it had been the final but Germany could still get knocked out ;)

:lol: i'm not scared ! Come on ! I'm just telling the facts. The great English team lost (Did i mention it was 4-1. 4-1. 4-1.?), and Serbia won. Serbia guys. As much as i love my country, they suck. Footballistically speaking, i mean :laugh:. (okay, then Australia beat us but that's off topic !).


4-1. Done.

ME TOO! Well I mean I'm part German but I'm still rooting for the Netherlands! It would be such a cool story for them if they can hold on for two more games and pull this off :D

FMlex 07-04-2010 05:49 PM

I think it's gonna be Germany v Netherlands with hopefully Germany winning, but I'd like Spain to win (maybe cause I was there for a month in May/June)!

And you only won because you were given a goal that obviously was none.
Now come and say this time you weren't given a goal that obviously was one but who knows if things had been different if this goal had counted...We still scored 2 more goals.

and in the end it's still just a game isn't it?

CreepingDeath 07-05-2010 01:38 PM

What bothers me about the Germany/England match is that Capello could have had a much better squad. Leaving off the likes of Joe Hart, Adam Johnson, Peter Crouch, and Michael Dawson was a huge mistake. We were left with a bunch of overpaid prima donnas that looked like they couldn't care less. They don't deserve to wear the Three Lions.

danax6 07-06-2010 05:22 PM

If Germany were the last team on the planet, and the future of football would lie in their hands...I'd still spit on them.

The Netherlands for the win, obviously. ;)

:lol:

The Dutch have always managed to produce some of my all-time favorite players. I would love to see them finally win the World Cup.


The same goes for Spain as well, actually. :o

danax6 07-06-2010 07:05 PM

I´m sorry, Spain had their moment in the sun two years ago... I believe it´s our turn now. But yeah, I´d rather lose to Spain than to Germany. :)

CreepingDeath 07-07-2010 01:36 AM

Oh, Spain is definitely my second choice by quite a long way. Since England is a constant disappointment, the Netherlands is my team in major tournaments. I can't stand the thought of Germany winning, ever. At this point I would go for North Korea over them.

What's so bad about Germany winning that it's better than North Korea winning?

I'd like to see Germany or the Netherlands win. I know you guys have a big rivalry between each other (the way England thinks they have with Germany:rolleyes: ) but I'd be happy to see either of those teams win.

Having said that, I have little-to-no interest in football so I guess I don't really care. :p

Pretty much sums it all up.

I'll watch but the games are continually ruined by those mind numbing vuvuzelas. They have even spread to the US and were seen/heard at an Angels game.

WizNicks 07-07-2010 11:31 AM

GO GERMANY!!!!!!
After a 2nd place in 2002 and 3rd in 2006, we need a title this time, anything else will just be sad!

Well, Spain has defeated the Germans 1-0 and will face the Netherlands in the final. Although as a German I'm not happy with the result, I congratulate Spain on making their first WC final ever. The title match will be between 2 teams that have never won the big prize, so in that sense I will probably watch the championship match.

chiliD 07-07-2010 03:30 PM

Final score: Spain 1, Germany 0

Go Netherlands!!

LukeA 07-07-2010 03:51 PM

Mortal lock- Germany kills Uruguay in the 3rd place game.

Spain has been so listless this whole tournament. Gotta say Netherlands takes it, 2-1.

That's okay, he predicted everything right in 2008 as well, except the final. So I guess that will happen again this time. :)

DavidMn 07-11-2010 03:56 PM

Spain scores in the 116th minute! 1-0 Spain

DavidMn 07-11-2010 04:04 PM

Your winners by a score of 1-0 in extra time and first time world champions:







SPAIN!
