Quite ironic.
The Netherlands played like the german in previous tournaments and the german played like the dutch.
Hopefully this wont mean that the dutch also learned how to be successful in a german way
Curious if history can repeat itself.
Like in 1974 the german team played their first match against australia.
Like in 1974 the Netherlands played well and reached the final. (i am guessing that they will in 2010)
Like in 1974 a German- dutch final could be possible.
Like 1974 there's a Müller with the number 13 in the squad
And like 1974 a young and inexperienced team (that noone had on their radar b4 the tournament) playing nice attacking football (1974: the dutch, 2010 the germans)
Also there is an interesting pattern when looking that the german national team history:
1966: 2nd, 1970: 3rd, 1974: 1st
2002: 2nd, 2006: 3rd, 2010: ??
So it's 1974 again, just the other way round this time
We'll see. I am still cautious. Football is strange sport sometimes. Everything is possible.
oh btw: He also compared the size of our both penises, and after he read your name he laughed...and nearly drowned, but then he immidiatly got into my box saying that my little friend is atleast double of yours size!!!
Actually i guess it was just pure luck that his predictions were right, but then i also heard that this octupus predicted 80% of the euro2008 matches correctly. Prolly he's the best "expert" on the planet. Way ahead of Pele, Beckenbauer and all the other "real" experts
Klose, Podolski out of form before the cup (Both shot only 3 goals in the whole last season combined for their clubs), Ballack injured, very young team, missing number 1 goalie, other injury problems.
Yes i was sceptical. I knew that this team has skill to play good, but i didnt dream that they are so cold blooded. Alsothe majority of the people here were sceptical.

Well it was against all odds.Great game by Germany, like i said before the WC even began, never bet against the German team doing well Schweinsteiger was brilliant.
All your earlier pessimism Bartio and look how good they are now!
