Holy cow, why hasn't somebody made this topic yet? It's only 1 hour away! Guess it's me then.

So - Germany will obviously win 2:1. I think. Maybe. Or not.

And maybe if we can all agree right now that there are very likely going to be a couple of fishy offside calls there won't have to be so much pointless referee-bashing later on? Fabulous idea, self.

Ecuador over Germany, 2-0.

1-1 draw.

I'm torn over this game.. I think Germany will win 2-1....

However, I've got a strange feeling it could easily be Ecuador on top.. Quite confused.

Fact is that one half of Ecuador's strike partnership isn't playing AFAIK, while Germany is expected to field pretty much the full team.

But I really can't predict a result. I think Germany will win, but it could either be an all-out free-4-all like the first match, or a tense affair like the second.

Thank you! Refs always get the short end of the stick. (I felt like I had to say something, having been a ref myself... I need to requalify.)

I'm calling a 2-1 win for Germany, with alternate results that I thought about being a 1-1 tie or a 3-0 win for Ecuador... one of those should be right. ;)

Gah! Germany's not playing Lehmann!

EDIT: My bad, I was looking at the bench. >_>

what channel is it on?

what channel is it on?
I don't know where 'Montrose' is.. But here in NZ, it's on Sky Sports 1. :p

Gah! Germany's not playing Lehmann!
Really?

*switches on TV*

Oh, well. I suppose Germany is blessed with a fairly decent reserve keeper. :D

Way to be decisive! :p

Oh, well. I suppose Germany is blessed with a fairly decent reserve keeper. :D

My bad, they are. I didn't notice that I was looking at the bench until I saw that there was no Klose, Podolski, Ballack, Frings or Lahm.

what channel is it on?

It's supposed to be on ESPN here in the US, but uh... :confused:

It's messy because both Group A games are on at 12:00, and both B games at 4:30 (Australian times). Mercifully, they're doing the important games first (Germany-Ecuador, England-Sweden).

Ah, okay, just checked the times. Yeah, they're starting an hour later today than they have been. Whew!

Okay anybody know what time the game is on in scotland?

Kick off is in 53 minutes.

Scotland should have the same time zone as Germany, dude.

And the gracious bastards from the university have decided to give me an exam tomorrow morning too. But stuff that! I'll watch the game, then do me bloody exam on Speed! :rolleyes:

Um, no, dude. They're one hour behind.

Um, no, dude. They're one hour behind.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Um, no, dude. They're one hour behind.

Beat me to it, dudette.

Man, Equador playing really well but Germany aren't exactly puppies. A draw with Germany recovering from a slow start.

2 ALL

Beat me to it, dudette.

WYTYG is the chick? :eek: When were you guys planning on telling me this!?

Beat me to it, dudette.
Dudes and dudettes? Awesome!

WYTYG is the chick?

Indeed she is the chick. She likes football. :cool:

Um, no, dude. They're one hour behind.
*bows out rather disgracefully*

We get 30minutes build-up. Not too bad.

Fuck.. They were showing the Ecuadorian (sp?) fans at the stadium, and there was this stunningly beautiful woman.. Oh man, so hot.

WYTYG is the chick? :eek: When were you guys planning on telling me this!?
:p Pay attention. I wasn't even here when you came back and I still know who you were before. :p

Also, LOL @ "the chick". Amazing how far a little incoherent soccer talk can get you on teh internet. :p

We get five minutes at best.

And yeah, gotta love the Latinas. I was in Santiago, Chile, about four years ago, and just riding around in a taxi, I was getting whiplash, snapping my head around to look at all the women. I had to lean forward and ask the driver, "¿De dónde oculta a todas las mujeres feas?" :D

Oh, and it's "Ecuadoran."

I reckon the Germans will slacken off a bit & Ecuador will win 2-1. With Lahm or Ballack to score the goal (they're in my fantasy team :) ).

The Germans got watch the yellow cards ... Ballack is on one.
Equador are playing 3 players on yellow as well.

:p Pay attention. I wasn't even here when you came back and I still know who you were before. :p

Incoherent? You've displayed more football understanding than at least half the guys who've posted in the Cup threads.

I once won a card game I didn't know the rules of by playing all the ugly cards first, so all that means is I'm good at bluffing. :p

Shite! Didn't even think of that. I do, too, and my cable service has Univision. Ah well, it's started here now, but it's something to remember for the future.

Game started!

Nobody knows who I am!

>_> That was a typo.

Germany corner 3:00 in...

KLOSE SCORES! 1-0 to Germany!

Germans score, 4th minute. KLOSE

KLOSE SCORES! 1-0 to Germany!

I knew I should've made him captain on my fantasy team... :(

Gogo Germany, way to go.

Looks like Germany might have lifted... until now, I hadn't really seen any world class play from them.

15' looked like a PK to me..

Nobody knows who I am!
Sure.

>_> That was a typo.I know. :p



Also - we're so winning this.

A nice goal and nearly had another one.

Though I would love to see Ecuador win, I believe Germany is going to win this one.

Also - we're so winning this.

>_> Germany's a weird team. No matter who they play, they win, but it's always in a rather plain way, you know, they kind of way that makes you think that they won't win their next match, and then they do?

Podolski throws away a chance...

>_> Germany's a weird team. No matter who they play, they win, but it's always in a rather plain way, you know, they kind of way that makes you think that they won't win their next match, and then they do?

Unless it's some team called Brazil in a final

I think Germany could beat Brazil this year. Brazil has been EXTREMELY ordinary so far.

If France can do it in 1998, Germany can. ;)

If France can do it in 1998, Germany can. ;)

So far, Brazil's only kicked half as many goals as Germany >_<

Germany is threatening and it goes out for a goal kick.

Well, if that's the case, then you've pulled off quite the bluff on football. ;)

Klose wastes another shot

Ecuador is playing scared.

The Kaiser's team is looking good!

Klose scores again! 2-0 to Germany!

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Germany scores an empty netter to make it 2-0.

GOOOOOOAAAAL! Klose is the man.

Man, Equador messed that up. Klose just chipped over and ran past the keeper and defenders.

Could this be a repeat of yesterday's Ukraine vs Saudi Arabia spectacle?

And that's the half.

2-0 to Germany at half-time

Germany look awesome so far.

Well, unless Ecuador pull off something spectacular, I can see Klose getting his second Man of the Match in this WC.

>_> Germany's a weird team. No matter who they play, they win, but it's always in a rather plain way, you know, they kind of way that makes you think that they won't win their next match, and then they do?
Yeah, nobody will ever accuse Germany of playing "the beautiful game". :p


Anyway, Germany is playing pretty well, but Ecuador is playing *really* badly.

Like, after watching Ecuador's last two games, I honestly thought Germany would be comprehensively beaten here, yet Germany has surprised me.

>_> Germany's a weird team. No matter who they play, they win, but it's always in a rather plain way, you know, they kind of way that makes you think that they won't win their next match, and then they do?

Except when they lose, which they do quite frequently, which makes you think that they will lose their next match as well. Look at their warm up matches for the world cup and the only reason why anyone gave them any chance was because of home field advantage.

The Kaiser's team is looking good!
The Kaiser is a mere spectator here. It's Klinsi's team now.

Germany squanders several chances right in front of goal.

German almost score again.

Germany squanders several chances right in front of goal.

They're reminding me of the way Spain was shooting yesterday... anywhere but at the goal. :P

that was not a handball.

Valencia get yellow card

Podoniski (or something like that) shoots JUST wide

Podoniski (or something like that) shoots JUST wide
Podolski.

Podolski scores! 3-0 to Germany!

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!! By Podolski!!!!

Sorry, quick rant for the Germans:

Heilige Scheiße, geht mir der Kommentator auf den Sack. Ugh. Ich kenn' die Stimme, aber komm' natürlich mal wieder nicht auf den Namen. Anybody?


Also - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!

3-0 Germany.

Unfortunately that also means that my prediction was wrong once again. *sniff*

Only a little over 30 minutes left!
And German almost scores again.

Reinhold Beckmann.

I'm thinking that goal seals it...

But weirder things have happened before.

Reinhold Beckmann.
Ha, ich hatte mich nicht getraut, das zu sagen - ich wusste nicht, dass der noch Fußballspiele kommentiert & dachte, ich blamier' mich eh nur... Aber andererseits - wer sonst könnte schon 90 Minuten lang so einen Mist verzapfen?

Danke jedenfalls. :)

Asamoah, yay!

GOEcuador!!

GOEcuador!!
:p

And that's it. Germany wins the group with a 3-0 victory over Ecuador.

Germany 3 - Equador 0

Final Score

The outcome of the game Sweden-England will determine who will be our opponent in the next game.

The outcome of the game Sweden-England will determine who will eliminate us from the World Cup.

Germany 3 - Equador 0

Final Score
That was my guess!
Although I guessed there would be a goal by Schweinsteiger...

That was my guess!
That was your guess? Really? Hmm, to say it in German: Da wohl auch der Wunsch der Vater des Gedanken. :p
But hey, you were right, so yay you!

Da wohl auch der Wunsch der Vater des Gedanken
At least we will win the WC in my head :p

(oder wenigstens Gruppensieger...)
probably we ARE already..... so yay, Geil! :D

At least we will win the WC in my head :p
But we're winning it already in my head. o.O
Wanna fight? :p


Also - Laerod has apparently gone the way of German Nightmare... uh-oh

Hey, so we are winning two times, noch geiler :p

What's that supposed to mean? :confused:Aw, I was just referring to the rather eye-catching font and colors. ;)
I knew I should have added a :p smiley, but since I'm beginning to use them in every frigging sentence, I thought I try and stop doing it.
There's just never a right time to start with the stopping. *sigh*

Shit. Why do they have to play on saturday? I'm working then.:(

People really fell for that? What about the Masterplan in the Hinterhand?

Oh, den Typen habe ich gefressen - der kann nur beten, daß ich niemals, niemals etwas in diesem Lande zu sagen habe. Der geht mir schon seit den Vorbereitungsspielen auf den Sack. 'Ich hasse ihn, wenn es das gibt'. Reinhold Beckmann - der Typ steht auf der Liste. Was der einen Scheiß zusammenlabert, das würde ich noch nicht mal stockbesoffen und völlig zugedröhnt verzapfen. :sniper: [Ja, ich habe diesen Gun-Smiley benutzt!]

Also - Laerod has apparently gone the way of German Nightmare... uh-oh
Ja, ganz großer Sport von Laerod! Congrats zu dieser signature - so muß das sein! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/GermanFanblock.jpg

Not to worry - WYTYG is just a little afraid of the patriotic Fußballfieber which is infecting the whole country :p

So Germany's gonna play Sweden, huh?

What do you guys think about that? I sure hope that our team plays good and I believe that while Sweden is strong, the task at hand is accomplishable.

Yeah, it's possible. Sweden played okay in the second half against England, but before that, they were pretty ordinary.

By the way, people should have a look at this article. I'm starting to think I'm missing out right now...http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/spiegel/0,1518,422401,00.html

You're definitely missing some of the fun, my friend.
Yesterday was just crazy again. While the celebration after the Poland-game startet around 23:30 this time it was only 18:00 and still light outside.
Autokorsi, little kids with football outfits and flags. It's a great time!
