Germany are playing some excellent football! Very fluid and im sure at least another 2 goals in the second half for them. Come on Deutschland!

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

I just got into see the match when the Red Card was deployed.

Germany seems to play very, very well!

Superior close-play.

GOOOAAAALL!!!

WOOOW GOOOOAAALL!! AGAIN!


***

Wauw, that was some classy football Germany deployed today!

Potential winner team - without any doubt!

***

Dont think Australia can be blamed that much, tbh, cause the German play was more than excellent.

Im glad we wont have to face them in the first group.

OMG! Its us tommorrow!!!!

Congratulations Germany! excellent football!

Although I do agree, and Cahill did not deserve a red.

And yeh, Germany got out the kane and went to town on Austrailia. No wonder, with Cacu now a German citizen :razz:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Harharhar, poor Ancient and Chuc :p

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Man, I feel bad for the Aussies. They looked so sad when the game finally ended.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Yes me too actually, but thats the game...you win or you loose.

The Aussi team actually kept its morale high, which is important to notice in such a situation. Out of that can not only hope emerge, but also change.

True game-dicipline, IMO, is only seen when in defeat. Think of the Algerian-Slovenian match today, here you had an Algerian player who used his hand on the ball. That to me, is a sign of a low game-dicipline.

But thats just my opinion.

***

I hope we will show game-dicipline in some 14-15 hours from now when we face the Netherlands.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Hey guys, somebody has to be a loser. Sorry Australia. Perhaps next time it will be the Mexicans.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

What hand ball?

But yeah i too felt that the mexican referee was a bit pro germany.
Nevertheless theyve played a better football. I was a bit scared at the beginning because it looked like the would be overrun by the offensive Australians. But that changed with the 1:0, which was an offside though. The red card for cahill was too much. He did a few fouls before, but none of them would have justified the card. And after the 3:0 the Aussies seemed broken. They didnt go for the ball at all.

But in the end its still...WON!:mrgreen:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

schlaaaaaaaand!
(germans know what it means)

wish england good luck for their next game. can't wait to see a game with ger vs. england this worldcup

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

We are just under two days away from the debut of the DPRK against Brasil!

AAAAWWWWW YEAAAAAAHHHH!

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Good showing for Germany, hopefully they bring that kind of game all the way to the final 8-)

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Erst das fressen dann die Moral, nice guys finish last. We will have our revenge for the 800-1000 AD time period and the 1992 semi finals.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

The match was a total disaster. It was pure luck that we won. I mean seriously, our guys got 9/10 passes wrong and put the ball nicely to Aglerians feet. Our guys can play quite good from time to time but we lack the proffesionals.

USA will most likely beat us but England... I am /facepalm when just thinking of it.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Brazil better lose this or else the north will trigger a war :(

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

we're not out yet, this could pull the aussies together and get us mad

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Nice game. :D

I saw the game with my brother and we were like totally surprised because we thought that they would perform poorly. I mean they already kinda left a lot to promise before the world cup and now with Ballack out of the tournament... chances didn't looked so good.

But boy.... that display of teamwork was awesome. So awesome it was almost scary.... :twisted:

Serbia, Ghana.... watch out 'cuz "ze" germans are coming for you.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

DPRK! DPRK! DPRK! DPRK! DPRK! DPRK!

Torres, Reina, ( Alonso and Arbeloa used to play for us ) GO España !!

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

are that we might actually win something. ;)


I quite enjoyed that game. Somehow the German team always does what nobody expects in todays football. They take a standard situation and just whack that sphere into the big box.
I think its quite amazing how nobody seems to do that anymore. I mean lets face it, Germany definetly doesnt have the best players in the world, but at least they know how to apply tactics well in a game.

Enough ranting... i was just really frustrated after the England match(where its perhaps the other way round: big players, wrong tactics)

Looking forward to the North Koreans :D

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

own goal ftw. i'm no longer from denmark, i'm a european.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Haha, Well It should be seen as 1 - 0 for NL anyway, the own goal was meh.. Though Awesome safe by Denmark when the ball was almost over the line and he kicked it up high..

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Ahh that was unlucky Denmark, it was really good played tactically the first 45 minutes though.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

japan - cameroon....
boooooorriiiinngg.!!
cameroon suprised me how bad they were on first half.
they should try something else than those long balls.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

First thing first.

Congratulations Netherlands!

Very well played football...as expected.

Not easy for an underdog-team to go up against a football giant. But still, a challenge one wouldent miss for the world.

***


Well that's what happens when the underdog team finds out that their deployed defensive plan actually works.


1st half was completely by the defensive book


- Concentration on our half

- Diagonal deliveries

- Less focus on close play

- Focus on covering each Dutch player

- Focus on making the Dutch players run

- Focus on trying to frustrate the Dutch team

- Focus on slowing the match down in speed, so the Dutch could not make use of their über offensive skills


The Pause

I can just imagine Morten Olsen, our team trainer/planner, with that content/proud face-experession "I told you so guys", to the team.

See, everybody here was moe than satisified with the outcome of first half.

Then - people - even on a underdog team - can get too happy with the outcome of what seems like a good plan - with the fatal consequence, of letting their guards down...as we became witnesses to, in the beginning of 2nd half.

However, the fact that it became a self goal was a sad surprise.



2nd half (first minute or so) was completly by the satisfied defensive book

- Self-Goal within the first 60 seconds


2nd half (the reamining time) was completly by the desperate book

- Freeze factor deployed it self

- Fight factor tried to deploy it self

- Fatigue & Frustration-factors determined the outcome of the remaining Danish efforts

Have we Danes now joined the English founded Robert Green Association of Fantastic FIFA Failures?

My own answer.

Yes.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

To our Danish friends:

You guys put up a good fight, the own goal was unfortunate and i didnt got enchanted yet like we did 2 years ago when this happened:

NED - ITA


NED - FRA


Maybe it will happen again :)
Anyways concratz to our boys :)

God I hate those trumpets...so annoying. Like having a bee trapped in the TV-set.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

So I just came back from watching Netherlands - Denmark.

In the beginning the Denmark was VERY strong. Though I think overal it wasn't a very good match, specialy in the beginning. Too much ball loss and it wasn't very fluental (if that is not an English word I'm sorry :D )

Was funny that everywere on the streets people were wearing orange clothes. Very nice to see. :mrgreen:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

had the dutch turned up the steam just a bit we would've been completely steamrolled.
