    According to him, he is basically the only REAL German male left, yet he swallows mackeral pills cause he is worried about his Omega3 level! Previous World Cup favourites - Page 2 Icon_eek


    Wahre G.

    you DUTCH c**t will apologize IMMEDIATELY

    for insulting a "deutscher PATRIOT"

    may I remind you that I tend to eat proper HERINGE

    der rohen Sorte

    often take COLD showers

    and do not own a SINGLE REAL SCARF

    (other than my old College scarf, which I would be too embarrassed to wear)

    only recently, did I suffer from a severe "VIRAL INFECTION"

    YET

    I still walked up the Wallberg near Tegernsee

    overtaking MANY climbers in their full mountain gear

    FEY

    YOU have CROSSED the line

    und dafür musst DU büssen

    traurige Geschichte, die in einem Blutbad enden wird

    You had a viral infection and still went on for a walk!! Previous World Cup favourites - Page 2 Icon_eek

    Did you got the Iron Cross for that? One with Edelweiss even?

    Your very own Stalingrad by the sound of it Previous World Cup favourites - Page 2 Lol

    But...for the German standards of these days, its good enough I guess. So my apology. But dont give me any reason to doubt you Otto!

    Think about it. Previous World Cup favourites - Page 2 F_ale

    actually, I am not 100% certain it was a viral infection

    I usually NEVER get ill: no flu, NOTHING

    but since it was the peak season of the Swine Flu, I probably caught THAT from somebody

    I had a slight fever and was VERY weak on my legs

    but I love the mountains and had already agreed to go for a hike with a friend

    so I went lol!

    it became quite a drag though

    the moral of the story should have been

    when you feel like lying in bed, recuperating, do NOT hike in the mountains

    but in the end I went for it

    overcame my inner Schweinehund

    and proved that there are still Germans alive who could invade Holland , if NEEDED

    so watch out, Nederlander

    you may have dykes to protect you from the water

    I dont think theres really any correlation. Its just the nature of a knock out tournament - having to win 4 matches straight in a row. Even if the favourites are more likely to do it, its still unlikely.

    Last World Cup, EMP thought Brazil had a 50% chance of winning the world cup. Short of Roger Federer at Wimbledon, the likelihood of winning a straight knockout tournament will always be far lower.

    I think you're a bit paranoid.

    There clearly is correlation, this is undeniable. Perhaps you mean causation?

    Don't agree with your reasoning. You say that the favourites are more likely to win 4 KO games in a row, surely that would mean we'd have more favourites winning the cup?

    I'll clarify. I dont think theres really a correlation between the favourites not winning. Rather, i think people overstate the likelihood of the favourites winning a knockout tournament.
    Its likely there are, but not massively suprising that it hasnt happened because it just takes one blip - Brazil 1998, or for the team not to gel - Brazil 2006 and they fall flat on their face.

    Still I'm not convinced by your inner schweinhund. You are more a Lahm then a Lothar imo!
