The world is upside down!
That's what I've been saying today!

Pathetic performance by England. The US team has showed far more character than us so far: they really should have won their game today. I won't feel proud if we go through to the last 16, because we don't deserve it.

I don't understand why none of you give credit to Serbia with the win over Germany and talk about them as if they are some second rate side. If any of you had paid attention during the qualifiers, you would have noticed that they have one of the strongest defences out of any country in the world at the moment. Their loss to Ghana was fairly unlucky but they showed how they can play against Germany.
, this is why the World Cup s me because you end up with all these people who barely pay any attention to football at all over four years and then all of a sudden become armchair experts for four weeks :rolleyes:

Germany had 10 men. 10! This is obviousy the only reason why serbia had a chance.
podolski fumbled teh penelty shot, and their goalie was their saving grace. otherwise, 11 on 10 is not a fair game, especially when at least one of those yellows was not warranted.

Well, I didn't give them any credit because I had not even seen they had qualified for the World Cup until I saw Charlize Theron draw their name in that ceremony last year...
... which obviously means I'm no (armchair) expert :toothless

They're also good at overcoming 2 goal deficits by scoring 3 goals in the second half.
And let me remind you that they broke Spain's 35 game undefeated streak that lasted over 3 years with a Euro championship in between.
teams don't do that.

well.. it sure doesnt say anything when you only start winning a game when the other team has only 10 players. Not to mention they are playing with 10 players and still are more offensive!
