The Official World Cup 2010 Thread

What is sure is that their players are not fat at all. In fact, they stand out for their good physical condition. I already mentioned in this thread that last year USA reached the final of the Confederations Cup. And Brazil had to sweat blood to win the match. And before that, they won the semi-finals against the European champions. That day I listened to some sports journalists and our players' comments, which could be summarized as: "Damn, those guys seemed to be lions!"

Their weak points are tactics and technique, not physical training.

Spot the difference: USA lost a game and we didn't! We are ranked 76th and you are ranked 14th. We drew to Italy. Nuff' said.

Sincerly,

Let me make this real easy, leave your terrible opinions at home or we're sinking your miserable, good-for-a-Hobit-film island into the ocean and we're bringing England with us. And Poland.

Let me guess your plan, you're going to send some fat American's over to do a mass suicide? Because our 'island' will sink if we had 0.01% of your population coming over bahahaha!

Carlos Puyol played like a lion in the centre of defence.

Who said we couldn't win Germany?

Kaputt! Sometimes octopuses are right (to eat).

Spain made them look quite ordinary today and should have won by more goals. I`m amazed how they actually managed to stick 4 past Argentina and I still believe if Lampard`s goal had been given, the match against England could have been very different.

All credit though to Germany, who arrived at these finals with once again a very average team but still managed to get to the semis!!!

I thought Del Bosque was so pigheaded! But now I think maybe he was concealing the team's real potential, waiting for a big rival.

I heard that Germany's celebrity Octopus (I expect an interview on GMTV in the coming weeks) predicted his beloved team's loss as well. Creepy!

Well done Spain - thoroughly deserved win. I could be wrong, but I think I counted two shots on target over the 90 from Germany, so nice work off the ball to say the least.

Can't wait for the final.
