is this typical germans ??

[Grumps]

who could have predicted the germans hammering the argies like that ?
i was expecting a close match but the argies never got over the early goal .

messi fell into the world cup missing superstars folder

 

[CannyFifer]

along with Kaka, Ronaldo, Rooney etc......

I thought the Argies were always suspect at the back. Maradonna seemed to have gone for the Keegan (at Newcastle) or Ardilles (at Spurs) school of coaching and believed his team would always score one more than the opposition. The scary thing is, this German team is new and young and so will only get better

 

[USER1999]

Germany for Euro 2012 anyone?

 

[pokerjoke]

I dont think this is typical of the germans at all they used to be slow builders waiting for a few opportunitys now they seem to be more gun hoe and hitting fast on the break with lots of players getting forward,ive been really impressed.Hopefully they dont win it but i cant see beyond them.

 

[Iaing]

Best TEAM I've seen so far.
By a mile.

 

[Parmo]

The argies haven't played a decent team the whole WC, everyone knew their defence was very weak and Spain would have ripped it apart.

Spain to beat ze Germans like in 2008.

They are not really that young, the average age of the squad is 25. More to the point how many are actually German is the funny thing.

Ghana – 24.1
North Korea – 24.8
Germany – 25.0
Cameroon – 25.2
Spain – 25.9
Chile – 25.9
Serbia – 26.0
Slovakia – 26.1
Switzerland – 26.7
Ivory Coast – 26.7
Uruguay – 26.7
Slovenia – 26.7
South Africa – 26.9
USA – 26.9
Mexico – 27.1
Argentina – 27.1
South Korea – 27.1
Algeria – 27.2
New Zealand – 27.3
France – 27.4
Greece – 27.7
Nigeria – 27.7
Denmark – 27.7
Netherlands – 27.7
Portugal – 27.7
Japan – 27.8
Honduras – 28.1
Paraguay – 28.1
Italy – 28.2
Australia – 28.4
Brazil – 28.6
England – 28.7

Not really that special or young.

After seeing some of the Spanish game last night Germany, I predict, will destroy them. Seen nothing to say that Spain were anything special.

 

[Spinn77]

Spain will win this competition.

 

[Grumps]

what i ment about typical germans was coming out on top while everyone else tips the rest. i thought thier 1st game was because it was weak opponents but i cant see anyone stopping them this year

 

[shagster]

i said from the start holland, and may have posted holland germany final, but definately said it to mates, but germany look very good, and they didnt even bother against england once they got there forth. too tight too call but on current form it looks like germany

 

[BROOKIE]

Holland for me,everyone I know are rooting for the dutch,I think most brits have a liking of the way they play their football,so surely deserve the win..

 

[HomerJSimpson]

So their average age is 25. That means they will be good for the Euros and the next WC with a few new players coming in for the old guard. They seem to have a habit of peaking for the big events and I think they'll win this one with ease

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I've been thoroughly impressed by the German's. They play for each other, don't waste the ball and their counter attacks are so clinical.

When they beat England I thought the hype they got was over the top because England were so poor but the way they dispatched of the Argies changed my mind.

They're the best team I've seen and would actually like to see them win it and I've never felt that way about the German's

 

[viscount17]

Another for the Germans. I'd like to see the Dutch do it but the Germans are just too well organised and a lot quicker.

 

[Macster]

Regardless of who, I'd like to see the team that plays the best football win it actually.

On the matches so far, thats Germany by a mile.
