You really should stop this 'you don't know about football if you disagree with me' lark, your disgust at Germany is ludicrous.
Being half an hour into a game and having the opposition back off because you're not up to it is WAY more humiliating, just to inform you.

Argentina. I cannot stand Messi, but people who say Argentina have not been playing well know little about football. Tactically superb. They don't just have a great defence, they have a very tight midfield capable of stifling the opposition. It's exactly the type of game Germany hate. Argentina have great quality of players and play as a team with a brilliant coach.
I grew up in Germany and would have supported them, but their disgusting humiliation of the host nation last night makes me wish they are put in their place by Argentina. They actually coasted for a good 30-40 minutes they probably could have scored more, I don't know if your being serious though, so will leave it there. As an aside, I hope Argentina win. |

I don't know why people think I was joking. Quite a few people I have spoken to agree with me.
Anyway, nothing can change that game, but I am still supporting Argentina as all my teams are out (Italy and Holland). The only people I like in the German team are Klose and the manager Low. The rest are arrogant tits, especially Muller, even if I have to admit that he is an amazing player. |

This was a team of grown men who get paid millions of pounds a year to play football and represent a nation who likes to lord it over the rest of the world as supposedly being the best at football. I'm only disappointed that the Germans did seem to ease off a bit and didn't make it to double figures! |

Are you honestly suggesting that the Germans go completely against the rules of the game, the nature of their team and the overall spirit of football by going easy on Brazil just because they are at home in the World Cup?? Seriously? Seriously???? If Brazil were humiliated that's their problem, not Germanys. |

Of course... it's not like a 7:1 result will go into the history books.

Yeah... because they played a really serious competitive game against the USA... I hope Germany lose the title now. Winning 7:1 against any host nation is disgusting, but to do it against Brazil in a semi-final is truly appalling. 4:1 would have been humiliating enough. Please don't pretend like players can't control the outcome of a game.
But most of these countries are greedy anyway, how many more times do Brazil want to win the WC ? We are perfectly satisfied with winning just the once all those years ago and giving other teams a chance. |

This final is going to confuse the hell out of old-school English xenophobes.

Maybe you haven't been watching enough football games, but just to inform you: football players can control how many goals they score and Germany should have stopped at 4. It was obvious Brazil was incapable of doing anything.
For all your cr@p about what makes a good football team, you really are a numpty if you think it consists of not scoring goals when you are able. Actually you sound like a someone who has no idea how football should be played... |

Germany, seeing as I'm a European. I wonder who the Brazilians are supporting?

Like World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro who said if he had been playing he would have said five was enough?
Cannavaro is a legend and I agreed with everything he said last night.

Football can be an emotional thing, but for heaven's sake! You are allowing the wrong emotion to get in the way here. Sorry, but you are. |

I agree, you don't see England do that sort of thing, we always give the under-dogs a chance. A true gentleman doesnt rub his opponent's nose in it or celebrate like some of these Johnny Foreigners.

I'm hoping that Germany win. Argentina haven't impressed me at all (apart from the Nigeria game, possibly).

Are you serious?! We're not talking about a team of 7 year old kids here (although even U7's don't stop when they've scored 4 goals_.

I hope Germany beat the Argies if only to stop that smug little Messi from being classed as the greatest ever, which he is not.

Is Messi all that smug? He just seems to get on with it from what I can see.
