I have just read that Germany are not out if they lose to Spain tonight, because Japan lost to Costa Rica?
But as you said that German group got very interesting, I'd like to see the Germans win tonight and it would most certainly put the cat among the pigeons, a spanner in the works etc
Not that I know much about soccerball these days but Belgium remind me of the wonderfully talented Yugoslavia (pre 1991 of course). "Flatter to deceive". Yugoslavia were one of those teams that were magical to watch, like the Dutch in the 1970's, but never actually managed to win anything of note. Temperamental is the term that usually got bandied about. However, that Yugoslavian side were more talented than the Belgians. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, I became a big fan of the enormously talented Croatia. Prosinecki, Stanic, Suker, Boban et al. Remember Suker's goal against Denmark's Peter Schmeichel at the Euros 1996? Sublime talent. I still get behind Croatia to this day. Modric is an absolute genius.
I am actually, moderately intelligent and moderately insightful believe it or not. I am also full of **** and tend to talk copious amounts of inane drivel, just part of my make up I'm afraid You're right, that Belgium v Croatia game will be worth a watch. I am actually just about to watch Germany v Spain, the first game I will have seen. This could prove very interesting as well.
Yeah, so I believe. The best World Cup match I have seen was USSR 3-4 Belgium in 1986. Phenomenal game of football, played in the searing Mexican heat, with both teams going hell for leather. The game even went to extra time and the two teams were still slugging it out.
That was a close call. Really want Germany to win this. Always liked Germany and previously both East and West Germany.
