No. It'll be a tight one.

I had one with the flag colours on the shoulders. 1992 kit ? Just because I liked it. Didn't go down well when I was walking round my town centre in it. So I just stuck to wearing my Russian army jacket.

Won't most of them be dead by now?
Why couldn't Germany play in white? Guess they've won too many matches in white. FIFA aren't taking any chances with superstitions either.

This tournament isn't just about Brazil. Seems that way at times though.

White and yellow are both light colours which apparently appear the same on black and white TV's so Germany as the 'away team' have to play in their dark coloured kit.

Exactly what response are you looking for with the endless warnings of riots that aren't going to happen?

I bloody hate it, that and the Neymar shirt have got me cheering for the Germans.
Klose must have been a good player if he's one goal away from becoming the World Cup's all-time leading goalscorer but if I were German, I'd be a bit worried that a 30 something is still starting up front for us in a World Cup semi-final. Are there no promising young German strikers coming through?
Why is Fred playing yet again?! They'd be better off playing Ramires up front. Has he got something on Scolari?

That's what I was thinking too, as many of them were older when they left, but would be interesting to know if any are still alive.
Game running smoothly

The poster concerned does seem to want riots....
Elbow by Luiz
You can tell the Germans aren't going to be pushed around and allow the Brazilians to get amongst them in the way Chile and Colombia did in the previous two matches.
And right on cue, there's the opening German goal.
