wow what a goal feast by France and Swiss.... 5-2 and Benzema was robbed of last second beauty goal, should be 6-2.
 
Ok so I have been in Berlin for the last little while and I have spent some time watching the games with my German friends. I have confirmed that soccer is as much, or even more, boring than I knew it to be already.

I do have one question for soccer fans. Why do the announcers scream "goooooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllll" (in their respective languages of course) for what seems like longer than the game takes in the first place every time they score? One announcer screamed "goooaaalll" until he ran out of breath, took a deep breath, and did it again, and then again. I know it doesn't happen much, and I get being excited, but that is just ****ing irritating.

I didn't say compared to other sports, I just confirmed that soccer is seriously boring. Watching paint dry boring. Watching Amish porn boring. B O R I N G.

For the record, baseball is also boring. American football has its moments, but the time between interesting plays can be long and tedious too.

So what sport is not boring to you?
 
If Log watched the second half of that Germany/Ghana game, and he still maintains that soccer is boring-- then the dude is absolutely hopeless.
 
Still OKish with most of Germany's performance.
Mustafi won't play again. 1st half Germany plays exclusively over the right wing, Mustafi comes in, every attack that isn't through the middle is over left instead.
In the future Lahm will play in the defense when a defender has to be substituted.

I also see parallels with the Spurs. Superior spacing, unselfishness, high IQ, anticipation. Defensively horrible in transition, else utilizing size.

I think we can beat most defenses consistently, no matter who. But we gotta improve the defense and unforced errors must be eliminated to have a chance to win it all.

lolol blaming Germany's defensive woes on a single player. The team was in shambles throughout the 2nd half until the two vets checked in. Lost every 50/50 ball, let in several crosses in from the right Ghanaian wing (opposite Mustafi's side, who was at fault for the first Ghanaian goal). They're lucky to eke out a draw here, and every self-respected German fan should know that. Ghana clobbered them in the second half.

Really ugly game from Germany. Repeating a similar performance one more time this tournament will swiftly result in their elimination.
 
I can't wait for the US to kick Portugal's *** so I can neg rep all you fools who are cheering against us.

Hell, I may even neg rep y'all already.

Friggin jealous Canadians.

I didn't blame Mustafi for defense, which I could have as well, as he made a huge mistake which led to the 1:1. But I blame him for killing the offense on his wing.

Also I think we saw different games. Ghana ran a couple fastbreaks and they were mostly initiated by Lahm's foolish passes.
Difference is that I'd be shocked if Lahm has another bad game. So he should go back into the defense, Schweinsteiger should start as a defensive midfielder if he's healthy enough to play 90 minutes.
