France looks great on paper( Ribeye, Benzeman, Ben Arfa, Nasi ) but havent played great in ages. South Africa is the worst african country on this tourny but are the freckin host, so never rule them out. Cant really say who will get through this group.

I think they have a good chance of upsetting all the way to the quarterfinals... at least

Seriously ?

They were incredibly crap against a very weak Argentina and needed some reporters ruse to get past Costa Rica....

We all know that the only two decent teams for South America come from the nations that took in Nazis after WWII

What an awesome foto DD

He has a bit of Makaay!

But Uruguay bottled it big time against Argentina when they had to win, and Suarez sums this up. He misses the easiest chances possible and is mainly good at poor opposition!

Paraguay better than the USA?

No.

You truly think that is a joke

Paraguay IS better than USA.

Sure they are.

Remind me how they did in the confederations cup again?

Or how they did in the last world cup?

Or the one before that?

Paraguay beat Argentina 1-0 and Brazil 2-0 in the qualifiers, dominating the game. USA had 2 chances and couldn't draw with Brazil. Paraguay weren't in the confed cup bacause they don't play bloody concacaf, otherwise they would probably be.

How were they in the last WCs? not good in the last, but almost kicked France out in 1998 (after kicking Spain out and beating Nigeria) and Germany in 2002.

stop this charade

and admit that somebody is PAYING you to hype Argentina

even our local Gaucho, Barriele, does not rate them

the sooner you admit what everybody knows, the sooner you will be set free

Quatar also beat Paraguay 2-0 dominating the game

Who rated Brazil to win in 2002 and 1994? Argentina has some of the best players in the world and a strong tradition. They are passing through a horrible phase, but it doesn't mean they will still be like this in 6 months.

it was a meaningless friendly. brazil lost to venezuela and drew with canada and only scored 1 against england B. so what?

Argentina are NOT Brazil

nor are they Germany

nor Italy

those are the three countries that IRRESPECTIVE of previous form can go all the way

as for having some of the best players in the world: WHO CARES?

so do Spain

and sometimes, although not now, so do Holland , France...

it DOES NOT MATTER

strong tradition: take 1978 out of the equation (because the Gauchos were hosts)

and forget about Diego for a second, and what is left of Argentina at the WORLD CUP ?

NOTHING

that's what

you are too impressed by Argentina's record in the South America Cup

glory in Continental Cup means NOTHING at the World Cup

ask the Soviet Union

my impression is that you lost your virginity to Gabriela SABATINI

and since then you preferred the Tango over the Samba and Steak over whatever you Brazilians eat

think about it and apologise to all Germans for the distress you have caused them by mentioning the Gauchos in the same breath as the MANNSCHAFT

I wish!

you forget that Argentina could well have won a couple more WCs if there had been WCs in the 40s. even without that, they reached 4 WC finals and won 2. is that not enough?

how many teams in the world reached 4 finals?

Todo is right. Never underestimate los hermanos.

top stuff

Still, I has a soft spot for Argentina, hope todo has a point...

forget about the 40s

Europe, America and much of Asia was AT WAR during that period

or post-war, when NOBODY thought about football

-----------

tell me, my fine Brazilian

how is your sis doing in Germany

does she still enjoy it ?

I bet the culture shock must be quite something

she's here now, in my house, for a month.

she's loving Germany but some German things still annoy her.

to begin with, when she says she's a Brazilian married to a German everyone thinks she's a whore who married an old German for money, which isn't true at all. her husband is even younger than her, and low-middle-class (no uni degree).

another thing that annoys her is that Germans are too cold and reserved, but I guess this could be applied to any north european.

but anyway she's loving Germany and the good things, according to her, surpass the bad ones.

she thinks it's a very beautiful country and she likes the organisation and how Germans are honest and direct. they say what they think, no matter how annoying the truth may be.

I am sorry to hear that

girls from Eastern Europe and maybe Asia would have the same problem in Germany, I guess

I suppose once people see that she and her husband are a genuinely happy couple, the doubts will start to disappear

anyway

it's mostly envy when it comes to Brazilians

most German men would prefer to have a hotblooded South American lady to a whinging German

think about it

and then, most German men would find it difficult to figure out how you GET a South American woman

and then get suspicious

idiots, says I

mongrel hawk wrote:another thing that annoys her is that Germans are too cold and reserved, but I guess this could be applied to any north european. .

true enough

Northern Europeans are just very reserved and not openly emotional at all

I suppose it's worse in North Germany than near Stuttgart though

the "latins" of Germany live in the Rhineland, ie near Cologne

mongrel hawk wrote:she thinks it's a very beautiful country and she likes the organisation and how Germans are honest and direct. they say what they think, no matter how annoying the truth may be.

true enough

I guess she will get used to the annoying German habits with time

a Mexican friend of mine is married to a Bavarian chap

at the beginning she found it very difficult here but now she loves it

I suppose having a few South American friends in Germany will help to settle

there must be a Brazilian ex-pat community in Stuttgart

people like Cacau and wife

that would help a lot

I'm not saying people are rude to her and say this. not at all. she just realized people expect her to be married to an old man, and are surprised when they see her husband is young. that's all. and I can understand that, since many women from poor countries, including Brazil, dream of marrying a gringo and going to live in the so called "first world".

"most German men would prefer to have a hotblooded South American lady to a whinging German"

it's normal to be attracted to what is exotic. in brazil, most men are fascinated by the northern european type of women. there are many blond, light eyed women in Brazil, but it's not common, except in the South, where German and Italian descendants are the majority.

I've never been to Germany, but all the Germans I know are very nice people, so I sympathize with the country.

a bit manly or not, I think she's from another world. gorgeous.

Didn't she end up being a lesbian? Such a waste if she is.

don't know, but if she did, It's a shame that she turned gay after she retired...you know how the saying goes...in women's tennis, always bet on the lesbian player...it's just one of those things

indeed

the word on the street is that Sabatini is a LESBIAN

in women's tennis this seems to be the rule though

Conchita Martinez' girlfriend was Gigi Fernandez

Novratilova and Mandlikova (or some other Czech chick) were an item once

there are even rumours about Steffi once having batted for the other side

Americans like to joke that all female Golfers are gay

and

female footballers seem to enjoy their own company as well

I read a fascinating interview with a MALE manager of a women's pro-team in Germany the other day

he did not out anybody, but agreed that team-mates were PAIRING up all the time

and that he , as a manager, had to be very sensitive about it

he said that , WHEN he criticised a player for on-field mistakes, her PARTNER in the locker-room was likely to be just as offended as the player in question; so caution was called for

also, female players often switched clubs IN PAIRS

a marketing expert once said that one of the main reasons why it was so difficult to market FEMALE football was that the players were all VERY PRIVATE and that it was therefore difficult to present them to the public

the reason for this "privacy" is an obvious refusal to come out of the closet

anyway

there is clearly a VERY STRONG link between FEMALE PROFESSIONAL SPORT and LESBIANISM

so the Sabatini story should not come as a surprise

It's true Murray. She didn't like cock. That didn't crush me as much as when I found out this hunney didn't like chorizo either. Check it out Murray, I swore she was singing to me back in the day.

She starts 0:21 with "Puro...mercury shooting through every degree..."

FUCKING ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED WHEN I FOUND OUT!

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1x9yk_b52s-roam_music

I HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON THIS BABE FFS!

Otto,

What is the likelihood that BIRGIT PRINZ is actually profesional a muff diver,

slash carpet muncher,

slash drinks from the furry cup?

By the way, Argentina ARE a side who should never be underestimated, because by their very definition they have players who can either self destruct or turn a game in a second.

They SHOULD have put your lot out of the last World Cup,

having pretty much owned the game until Pekerman

committed SUICIDE by taking off Roman.

So you Mannshafters did what you do best, smash and grab

an equaliser and then hang on for PENALTIES.

Credit for playing to your strengths, but it'll be interesting

this year round how you get on without that MYSTICAL

penalty ability.

You heard it here first, Ballack and Co don't have the BOTTLE

of German teams of old.

Draw the GAUCHOS this time round, and you'd better hope you

dispose of them in 120 minutes.

(Lehman) Wee to the G Otto old fruit

You is mental.



What a load of utter cock Bernd, you should watch the game again. This myth is getting rather annoying, it was very tight and marginally deserved.

By the way, can someone help with "quiero darme de baja pero nesecito la contraseña para .hacerlo. gracias."?

It means they want to terminate something but need a password to do so, right? Cheers...

P.S. Jens is a god

Allz,

I'll tell you something, and you must never let Otto know this,

but I supported the MANNSHAFTERS in that game.

The incidents of 1998 and 2002 linger firmer in the mind then

the HORROR of Wembley '96.

However, I'm sorry to say them GAUCHOS were truly

unfortunate to go out.

A terrible decision by Pekerman put them out.

The MANSHAFT must always be RESPECTED in the way

they will FIGHT on until the final whistle, in a very

Manchester United-type of way,

but I disagree about it being a load of men's peni

Speaking of peni,

did Lehman's exposure of his little soldier not get him arrested?

Wee-rd

I thought that was a wonderful Argentina side, but they didn't deserve to win that day.

I saw what you did there with your sly wind-up, it won't work

and if you want to get all Latin on us, it's "penes"

bernd

we know next to nothing about Prinz and her private life

it's bizarre

she is a World Champ, captain of the German ladies, record this, record that, and we know NOTHING about her

my hunch though is that she is a bona fide lesbian as well

not that there is anything wrong with it (as Seinfeld would say )

my gaydar is letting me down more often than not

BUT

a good way of spotting a certain type of lesbian is by looking at her jewelry, me thinks

it's often "no-frills" steel (rings) and/or leather bands

and Prinz would fit that mold as well

considering our Foreign Secretary, Mayors of Hamburg and Berlin are OPENLY gay and get reelected all the time, I do not understand why these ladies do not come out of the closet (Steffi Jones...)

nobody cares

it may be different in a macho latin country like Argentina though

as for Pekerman losing it against the Mannschafters by taking off Riquelme

Klinsi nearly lost the game by wanting to play like Argentina (ie: on the ground, through the middle)

we would have won the game in the first half by going aerial

but why try to drive through a wall with a tank division when you can drop a few bombs with your Luftwaffe ?

as for Sabatini

she is indeed the most gorgeous female tennis player I remember

or rather her FACE is

FAR better than all those Russians like Sherapova and Kurnikova

however, her body / body movement was rather masculine

if only Sabatini had SMILED more

she was always sulking

like the spoiled rich kid she probably was

still

should I get reincarnated as a woman in my next life, I will happily settle for that face

think about it

Otto,

Sabatini prettier than Ivanovic??

That's some seriously controversial stuff right there Otto.

You may as well have come out and admitted you hate

Jews, blacks, gays, gypsies and the disabled.

And Prinz is almost certainly a man by the way,

minus the dangly bits,

ergo I'm not sure he can be a bona fide lesbian.

@Alz,

You can read me like a book old goat.

Friday afternoon fishing - dangle a few lines into the water

and see if anything bites. Certainly more respectable

than Lehmann exposing his dangly bits and pissing at the

feet of an onlooking crowd. If ever there was any doubt the

man is a fruitcake

Otto, will you be supporting the Manshaft this summer,

or are you boycotting them in protest of Lowe and his

River Island dress sense?

Ivanovic is pretty , alright

in a Mandy Moore kind of way

nice and homely

Sabatini is GORGEOUS in a Leonor Varela way

admittedly, Ivanovic is better suited for picking up children from the Kindergarten

-----

explain to me why I hate gypsies, gays or blacks ?

-----

as for the Mannschaft

I want us to get eliminated by an African team in the SEMIS

my dream final would be Ghana vs Greece

with Otto Rehagel winning the title for Germany

and THEN

GOOD RIDDANCE , you scarfwearing gay-lord
