Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

Most of the match the Rolf thread was more interesting than the game. Madame was in the garden as the neighbours’ commentaries kept her as informed as watching the game. All’s well that ends well.

Nothing like nailing your tricolores to the mast.

predictions for algeria v germany? 1:4 ?

I would’ve liked to see algeria v france but I dont think that will happen.

COME ON ALGERIA!!!!!!

Just put £10 on muller to score 1st and Algeria to win 2-1. 150/1 and yes I have been drinking.

Manuel Neuer. Bloody good, but he winds me up something rotten. I hope he stands on the ball and gifts them the winner.

Germany are my second team, so will be rooting for them.

Given I am 50/50 English/German, I should really think about swapping my first and second teams around 😀

Manuel Neuer. Bloody good, but he winds me up something rotten. I hope he stands on the ball and gifts them the winner.

His hero is Jehns Lehmann, so tells you all you need to know.

…actually. What is it with Germany and annoying, yet really good keepers? Lehmann, Neur, Kahn…

I predict Müller to score from a corner.

*taps mic*

*drinks beer*

Cummon Deutschland! 😆

What’s with the German love in?

The BFG is also **** slow.

His hero is Jehns Lehmann, so tells you all you need to know.

Oh arse. Yet another ‘how old I am’ moment. Lehmann played AFTER my playing career ended. How can you have heroes from the ‘current’ era.

Pat Jennings ftw.

Ooh, dreams nearly came true!!

Oh come on Algeria….. WTF was that.

Algeria look like the better team at the moment (cue 3 quick German goals)

Andy Townsend desperately wants to say “they don’t like it up ’em”.

Bloody heck that was close.

If Germany don’t win this the factory will be very quiet tomorrow.

Jesus! That was tight! Hope that’s the sign of things to come!

Why do they keep shooting and not crossing! They could be 2or 3 up if they did….

i’m loving algeria at the moment.. shame they cant figure out what they need to do in the final third

It’s just like watching England, it’s just like watching England.

What’s with the German love in?

There’s wurst things.

Do you think the Germans are having difficulty working out the difference between the Algerians and the grass?

Mon Algeria, Germany are rattled need to take advantage here!

ITV commentator just said Müller can’t get a touch.

We all know what that means.

5….4….3…

germany warming up nicely.. looks like more eventful than the france game already.whats up with ferghoulis head? Visions of terry butcher 🙂

You just know Germany will reorganise at half time and end up winning easily.

[Commentator’s curse being attempted here ^]

I just can’t see Germany scoring here.

*waits patiently*

The German keeper is adapting well to his sweeper role.

Gott im Himmel!

Achtung Achtung Deutschland! Please wake up!

Arragghhhh … nearly there!

😆

There’s no way back for England.

*waits really patiently*

Great passage of play from both teams. Great save keeper.

Brilliant double save

neuer should play up front .. clearly new tactic/ formation by yogi

I had this one down as dull, one-sided affair. I’m one pleasantly surprised puppy.

I still think the Germans will find a way, though.

Townsend says Germany are asking a few more questions of Algeria. And that’s exactly what they’re doing.

Tasty.

Every time I hear ‘Götze’ I think of that photo. Please can he be subbed at half time.

Germany have done well to keep it at 0-0.

PrinceJohn –
Next game is going to be entertaining I reckon. Algeria are great fun.

I like your optimism…

How bout now? 😉

Every time I hear ‘Götze’ I think of that photo. Please can he be subbed at half time.

I think you’re being pretty anal about it, to be honest.

Butt enough about that, let’s get behind our teams. Really role our sleeves up, and dig deep.

The problem with “Al Jazeera” 😆
