As Lira said, thanks for explaining my own point to me. No, I didn't elucidate it very clearly in my first post, but my immediate follow-up made it perfectly clear. |
No it didn't. The statements "England always falls flat when they get close to winning any team sport competition" and "when the chips are down for England in team sports, they rarely seem to recover" are pretty different. It'd take some piss-poor articulation to accidentally say the first when you meant the latter. I'd assume you were capable of better.

The orbital teapot reasoning. If someone makes an assertion, they need to back it up with sound reasoning and verifiable evidence, otherwise there's no reason to believe it over any other speculative theory. One example against Germany is one more example than you've come up with thus far.
And just to add to a current trend of English sporting success, our golfers are thrashing it at the moment. |

FC Barcelona, who contributed 8 players to the Spanish national team (7 of which, are starters), plays the first leg of the Spanish Supercup two days after the friendly match with Mexico. |

Yes, but this is the first time when it VISIBLY affected the quality of the game. You could see all the time the players were having an harder time than usual picking up long balls. The previous world cup balls were only really difficult for the keepers with their weird effects when shot. This one was weird not just in shots but in passes as well. |
It's what they get for picking a football sounding like it was named after a Japanese sausage. |

Oh and what a win that was. The party in Croatia that night was epic, only trumped by the party after beating Holland for third spot :D |

The ball wasn't weird, so much as everyone kept over shooting everything, shots and passes alike. The ball has very low drag, and as such, requires less effort to produce the same result. If you aren't used to that, it is easy to blame the ball for something you just aren't aware of. |
Sure, next time they can play with a balloon and as they are professionals that shouldn't give any problems. Playing with a ball which is to heavy sucks, and with one which is too light also. Don't see why there is a need for changing balls all the time expect for ing commerce.
I wouldn't be surprised that some idiot within FIFA thinks, let's use a new ball, it will improve the game a lot. Yeah, as we have seen. |

Spain has a friendly against Mexico in Mexico City on august 11th, they signed a contract saying they have to bring most of their stars (80% of those who played the world cup, so basically the starting 11) 3 months before the world cup but i guess they didn't have the slightest idea of becoming champions then and now they are complaining about bringing most of their stars to play this friendly after the "exhausting" world cup they had and are planning to send the u-21.
:stongue: |
Van Gaal is still missing 13 !!! internationals at Bayern München. He is not amused about that. Then August 7th Supercup against Schalke 04, August 11th Germany will play against Danmark, August 16th cup game against Germania Windeck, August 20th start of Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg. Even to me that sounds ridiculous. |
