The unofficial World Cup Thread,

[Ser Clegane]

Come on, English, you would have lost even if the goal had been admitted! But I can see how the English will forever moan about that goal that "robbed England off the Cup". Now they have another excuse for the shambolic performance of England over the tournament. LOL

I think this comment is a bit unfair, looking at the English fans and the English players after the match and also judging by the first comments I have seen from the English press, they do not look at all like sore losers but like rather good and fair sportsmen (and it should also be noted that the match itself was extremely fair).
That there is a certain anger and disappointment about the goal is not only understandable but also justified (and I guess I would have been rather had it been the other way around) - I did not get the impression (yet) that people started to use it as an excuse (and the reactions here in the Frontroom are also a testimony of that)

England...that '66 karma is a bitch!

Great game by Germany..the best team advanced.

Indeed, English played bad across the tournament, they deserved to lose.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Mexico got screwed by a terrible decision to give a goal (The first goal of the match!) on an obvious offsides to Argentina. The refs had to know it was offsides when they showed the replay on the screens in the stadium. Really, the whole game has been thrown off.

What a shame. We need instant replay. It's to their great discredit that FIFA will not allow it.

Fun game between England and Germany today, looking back at the game against Ghana I was really afraid this would be it for Germany today. So I was quite surprised to see the Germans pla the way they did.
Louis is right, if the 2nd English goal would have counted the momentum would have been in the English side, then again overall the Germans were the better team. And in combination with 66 it seems to be all fair and square now.
Looking forward to Argentine, as long as the Germans make sure not to make as stupid mistakes as the Mexican defence did today, we might actually have a shot. But it's gonna be a close one.

Interesting picture of the "goal"
That the ball was clearly behind the line is nothing new ... but what is Neuer doing there relaxing 2m above the ground?

Why would you want to burn Bonn?? That's just mean!

Very nice picture of Neuer, Ser.

John cleese in video:

..they get instructions from the quarterback, who has in turn received them from the offensive coach. No one has to think for themselves

Yeah, I too thought that was a bit Lahm of Gregoshi.

It's Löw to poke fun at England's Fabiolous performance, when without the ref it might have been a Klose call.

It's a bit Lamphard not to get a little Green when you see Germany go thRoo, though.

All these puns are a bit like my take on this World Cup business - lots of shots but none scored (self included). Well, at least none of them went over the line - right Joooray? In my book, Ser wins the comedy award for his picture comment about the German goalie "lounging".

BTW, Joooray, your profile location gave me inspiration for my pun...that and an inept attempt at burning a German flag. Sorry if any offense was taken.

Seriously, I haven't watched as much of the WC as I have wanted, but I have changed my tune a little. Aside from all the diving, the mystery of "extra time" and some blown calls, I've rather enjoyed watching the games.
