Compared to the C0p0 America last year in which a whooping 20% of the games finished 0-0 I guess thats what happens when you fill a tournament full of South American shite. There certainly wont be a team reaching the final WITHOUT winning a game either.

That's a pretty silly argument when you take into account all of the groups with two European teams in them in addition to the three Ro16 matches where two European sides played each other, as opposed to only the Brazil / Chile game for the S. Americans... who also did not play any other S. American teams in the group stages.

It's even more ridiculous to compare percentages like that when you consider that for Euro teams to match SA's 80%, there'd have to be 10 European teams in the quarter finals, which - for the mathematically slow - is impossible

Thats not actually true, debs. Coz for every additional Euro team reaching the quarters, there would have been one less SA team. So its not mathematically impossible, far from it. You just applied your maths wrong

"Had the referee, however, awarded Nicklas Bendtner a penalty, we would probably be out of the tournament now. We shouldn't rely on Portugal's shots hitting the bar, on Manuel Neuer saving Robin van Persie's first chance in the Netherlands game, or penalties not being given to the Danes too often. We should be better organised defensively"

Sie sind hier nicht erwünscht, Nederlander

true enough

I will change the avatar in due course

I suspected the old-school German mentality had found a new home in Holland

see South Africa 2010

but when ALL the Nederlanders on here started shitting themselves

and indulged in the most unprecedented form of DEFEATISM

I ended up being the LAST Oranje supporter in the WORLD



did you know that TV viewing figures in Holland dropped from 7-9 million to 2 million

(during Oranje games)



meanwhile,

Die Mannschaft is back to playing old-school German football



but really , bernd

whether to support Germany or not, is no longer about Jögi or Nivea

it's about saving the WORLD ECONOMY, I fear

and JUSTICE

even I, as Germany's LEADING Löw detractor

who wants to see the PC clown SACKED pronto

could not stand the idea of us losing against the EVIL Greeks



isn't it also possible now that we meet Italia in the Semis

after what they did to us in Dortmund and Florence, the idea of seeing them beat us is equally intolerable



and when I think of Spain and Sport

I only think of junkies trying to dominate by unfair means

in other words

as EVIL as Löw ( Merkel...) and Co may be

and as much as I want them OUT

THIS Germany now HAS to win

whether you like it or not, bernd

besides

I thought we kicked you out of the Bismarck FOR GOOD

have you weaseled yourself back onto the deck AGAIN



I thought our friend kroos was responsible for SECURITY

quite possibly being the chief DOOR-man himself

don't worry bernd

I will personally TALK to kroos

so that double-agents like yourself will NEVER enter the ship again

--------

even a glory hunter like yourself does not need to support Germany these days , bernd

Rooney just said that YOU had the players to GO ALL THE WAY

Otto, be a good fellow and remain in your ORANGE life raft, just for the next 2 weeks.

Is it any coincidence that as soon as you declared yourself Captain of the Flying Dutchman, a few days later it sank without trace??

0 points from 3 games. The WORST performance by Holland in a major tournament since the 80's. All since you threw your weight behind them.

Compare with the current, trouble free sailing of the Bismarck since this Hungarian Oracle took control of the wheel.

3 wins from 3 games. Antarion, Blut, Allez, Kroos and myself have been sunning ourselves on the deck sipping Pina Colodas and frolicking with a bevvy of oiled up half naked female beauties ever since this tournament began.

Look, it pains me to see you flailing off starboard, treading water and looking desperately for some dry land as your ORANGE life raft keeps capsizing.

So, we'll tow you into the next Port where you can get some dry clothes and a warm bed, but for the hundredth time YOU ARE NOT COMING ON BOARD WITHOUT A TICKET!

Please Otto, don't push the good nature of us Germans. We are a generous nation - ask the Greeks - but when you turn your back on the Fatherland, you turn your back forever.
