I agree completely. I would have loved to see the US get the goal but the Ref made the correct none call on that one.

the US has played very well. I honestly didn't thing that the US would do that good

Luck, and some impressive goal keeping. Oliver Kahn is impressive indeed. I just wish the US had of won! :winkwink:

America didn't play bad but the whole match wasn't high quality soccer.
I have to say that so far there's no country that is really playing great.

FUCKING GERMANS DESERVED TO LOSE!!!!
That was a CLEAR HANDS BALL! USA DESERVED A PENALTY!!!

DynaMite :feels-hot

Hats of to Germany! Good win!

Goodluck the rest of the way.

I recall a german player being fouled in the USA penality box and there was no penality awarded.
Besides Khan would have made the save.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I recall Klose <i>diving</i> on many occassions. But nothing that was actually deserving of a penalty.

FUCK KAHN...he's an arrogant PIG!

DynaMite :321GFY

Germany just scraped through, can they beat Spain? Not on that showing.

The US for all their possession in the second half they really did not do it in the penalty area. But they did themselves proud and can walk away from this game with their heads held high. The Germans best just walk away.

Maybe but he played well. USA had at least 4-5 beautiful shots & chances to score and Khan stopped them all.
The German defence was shit!

Why do you assume Spain will beat South Korea? I think that game will be far closer than you might think.

Good try guys..bad luck.

On the comercial thing...football isn't a stop and start game so we only get comercials durring the half time over here. I am sure that is pretty much the same in most countries.

When the USA had the World Cup they tried to have the game changed into four quarters so there could be comercials and it was nearly enough to cause diplomatic relations to break down amongst football loving countries. Can't blame them..imagine if a country that doesn't play baseball hosted one tournament and decided they had the right to change the rules of a game that is more important than religion in some countries.

So, to get around it when the World Cup was in the USA they had little rotating adverts in the corncer of the screen..near the score. Don't know if ESPN are still doing that.

Charly doesn't know a damn thing about the sport.
Remember his embarrassing thread about the worldcup being "fixed" and thought holland should be playing etc..

Since noone answered I will. It's commercial free because that's the way it's played, in 2 halfs of 45 minutes each. Sports channels use those 15 minutes between the first half and the second half to advertise all they want, and to do an analysis of the game.

In some countries (like Mexico) they insert advertisement in the bottom on the screen.. not all the time, but still quite often. They also use computer special effects to make it look as if the people in the stands were holding huge advertisement signs haha... it's cool..

opps... didn't see your reply Sjayne, good answer :thumbsup

... we are through to the semis !!!!!!!!

(nothing more to add)

woohoo go Germany.. down with the US!! :ak47:

With everyone complaining about the way Germany plays, one must recall they have conceded only one goal.. Oliver Khan is a F&*&*^&king legend

Dynamite stop your whinging.. you quickly forget the punch against Mexico..... amazing how the game sorts itself out

+ Klose should have had the 2nd goal in the first half.. an easy miss by what we have seen from him so far...

Nurgle

Not a pretty game but hey, it's not how you play the game...

...it's who wins that matters :winkwink:

I'm not american and THANK GOD I'm not German!
Germany just didn't deserve to win this match. But as usual
for Germany that doesn't count.

DynaMite :321GFY

@DynaSpain

Calm down, we'll play a better match against Korea :thumbsup

Korea-Spain 3:0

Will be interesting to see how well considering Raul might not be playing... and with the huge home ground advantage!

Nurgle

Kahn der TITAN :thumbsup

Well I hope so....since I'm not from Spain either I couldn't care
less....I just happen to live in Spain...I would have NO problem
what so ever if Korea would beat Spain :1orglaugh

Allthough I wouldn't mind Spain winning the WC either....I bet
it will be 1 hell of a party here :thumbsup

As Long as Germany doesn't win...I don't care.....they just don't
deserve it....already too many horrible played matches.

DynaMite

Hup Holland HUP!

Damn, what´s your problem dude? Allready hate others

before they beat you? :1orglaugh

where are you from Dyna?

What do you have against Germany?

I don't hate germans I'm just very happy that I'm not german
myself....I DO hate german soccer!

DynaMite

Nothing actually except for soccer...

DynaMite

Well, what is the reason for such a stance towards German soccer?

This ain´t figure skating. The team with the most goals after

90 minutes wins.

Who doens't hate german soccer? They don't know how to play
soccer, but they do win all the time.

Hell, where is Dyna<b>Spain</b> from? :winkwink:

Isn't that a contradiction?

perhaps you would like to read the posts chodadog ?

Nurgle

The same as Italy Many times....NOT ALWAYS but many many
times Germany plays dirty soccer...begging for fouls and cards,
diving when they don't see a change of scoring and the arrogance
in interviews pre and post matches....

Another example....Formula 1....Germany has the absolute best
driver that ever existed...M. Schumacher...without a doubt the
most skilled driver of all.....The few times he can't win always
something fishy happens.....

We all remember the clashes with Hill, Villeneuve, Hakkinen, etc
And just pretending nothing has happened..that's what I don't
like about German sports in General...If you win by class GREAT
Congratulations but all that bullshit around the sport that's what
makes me hate German Soccer.

DynaMite :2 cents:

Ok you can all laugh now....I'm Dutch....and yes we didn't even
qualify...and yes we didn't even deserve to qualify...The Dutch
squad fucked up bigtime and I admit it....They thought they would
make it and hahaha they didn't....I have no grieve about it...since
we have lost because others just played better than us..
