World Cup!

@P@nther:

@frimmel:

… Germany is very machine like (I see them making plays, not just crosses) but Messi and Robben (separated at birth from Jason Statham?) just seem more “it” than Muller…

I like the machine that scores 5 goals in under 30 minutes ;-)

I can’t believe it…

I’m tempted to back track but Brasil was incompetent. Still Germany is a heck of a team. Should be a great final.

As an aside why aren’t both semi-finals on the same day? Doesn’t seem fair.

Frimmel: Has always been the advantage of the host nation playing on the opening day and always having a longer rest inbetween games (as long as it wins its group of course).
Probably means the high up FIFA  officials get to watch both games(for free) too.
Football is nothing if not bent.

Those aren’t the only records beaten and/or tied

I’ve always thought Germany was a strong contender for winning it all. And I thought Brazil looked weaker than they were supposed to be heading into the WC. But man oh man, that was some crazy dismantling of Brazil.

Maybe we have to add another world record in about 10 to 11 month :wink:.

which one?

Splitting the semifinals has to be a TV thing, they want each to be a standalone.

Of course the semi-finals have to be split!

Imagine your country wins the first semi-final, you want to party hard for a couple of hours and thus miss the second semi-final. It would have happened to me yesterday :-)

This is kind of hilarious. Assuming you’re not a Brazil fan of course.

Now uploading!

Jaaaaaaaa!!!

We did it!!!

UPLOAD complete. The 4 th Star is finished. Next star will be in 24 years.

Germany machine is the champion!

Only because Italy was not there.
Enjoy your moment guys. I am proud and happy to say I have lived to see two victories and a second, third and fourth place.

I’m not sure about best but damn he was a Timex in that final match. Gotta like a guy that bleeds for his team. Certainly seemed like quit is not in that guy’s vocabulary.

I’m glad it didn’t go to penalty kicks. Heck of a match.

Has there ever been a World Cup where the substitutes made such in an impact in so many games?

Congratulations to Germany for a fine World Cup! :-)
