madras Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Germany have looked shitter than England imo. Really? One absolutely top quality performance against the Aussies, and a win against a good Ghana side despite playing the entire game with Cacau up front. Also should have gotten something against Serbia despite wrongly being reduced to 10 men early on. Don't get me wrong I think England have every chance of beating Germany, your defence is solid and I think theirs might just be a bit suspect. But you'll need your attacking players to play a lot better than they have done so far and hope your defence holds up against some better opposition. Just don't see how anyone could say that Germany have looked s*** so far, especially considering they've been without Klose for such extended periods of time. against australia wasn't a top quality performance but they looked good when the aussied went down to 10. they've still looked better than us though.

Keefaz Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Don't think there's much between the two sides. Özil is their main threat at the minute. Rooney could make or break it for us, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 We'll be wearing red again, won't we? And then again in the quarters if it's Argentina? (As we're scheduled to be the away team both times.) Not worried at all now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Any injury news on the pig farmer and Ozil? Özil isn't injured. Schweinsteiger reimains a doubt. The german team-doc has said that Sunday could be too early. I think he'll make it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I haven't seen anything from Germany that makes me think they can win the World Cup. Much the same as England. I think we are pretty evenly matched and can see it going to ET. If the real Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard turn up we should have enough to win.

LiquidAK Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If we can beat Germany I think it could give us the confidence and momentum to have a real go at Argentina in the Quarters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Germany have looked shitter than England imo. They've looked much better going forward but England have looked more solid in defence. England had a much easier group like. You think? I'd take USA to beat Ghana, Slovenia & Serbia are pretty well matched, and Australia against Germany was the worst team performance I've seen this tournament.

Foluwashola Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If we can beat Germany I think it could give us the confidence and momentum to have a real go at Argentina in the Quarters. Didn't even think about who we now play if we got to the quarters. Its Argentina? Oh well, we gave it a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Argentina and Germany pose similar problems. They both have excellent fluidity going forward but if you can stop them for long enough periods there are plenty of holes in their respective defences. If we can beat Germany, which i think we will, we'd have every chance against the Argies. Spain and Brazil will worry me more, if we get that far.

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think they'll crush us like puny English scones. No doubt if it's 0-0, and pretty even after 5 minutes I'll believe that we'll win though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 You've gotta love the total over-confidence after we put on a decent performance and won 1-0 against a slow, talentless and basically shit Slovenia side... The BBC pundits were correct (for once) yesterday when they said: "in England, you're either rubbish or brilliant". There's no way we're going to hammer this German side - who aren't great themselves by the way, so they're not going to thump us either, but they're certainly no mugs and will be far more potent with Klose back up front, having missed him for the last two matches. It will be a tight match and will probably be won by one goal either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
