Gotze should get a gig instead of klose

If reus was fit and was playing in klose position they'd be unbelievable

 :lol still not happy?

I've backed the Krauts in since the start. Didn't really mention it to anyone or claiming I know a thing or two as I'm not the biggest follower of the game but been growing on me heaps the past few years due to wog in laws. I've always enjoyed and followed the Bundesliga the most and when I saw blokes like Großkreutz, Götze, Draxler, Ginter etc can't crack the 11 I just thought that is some serious depth and sheer quality on the field.

Our family name is of Saxon viking heritage too so if I want to clutch at straws I can say Germany is my team after Aus (even though our family migrated here from south western England  :lol :whistle)

They are easily the most complete team at the world cup, they are just an awesome machine full of stars. ..and you're right abt the bundesliga  :thumbsup   
Germany v Holland is the final I want to see. Love the way both sides go about it

Ironic that Brazil's worst ever defeat came at the hands of a side wearing the Flamengo strip.

Deutschland,  Deutschland über alles.

Dante is a world class defender and Bernard was transferd for 50oddmill as a teenager

Reckon brazil 2 eleven pretty bloody good. Would have gone better than first 11

Fred and the keeper i doubt in the best ten Brazilians forntheir respective position s

Reckon Germans would have annihilated any Brazilian 11 today.
They played with such precision and to do it on their home soil, simply awesome.

They were the first European country to beat South American opposition in a World Cup Final and chances are they may beat Argentina again in a Final to be the first European country to win the World Cup on South American soil.

lets remove Messi for a minute, the argentinian football side if they win will be one of the most average teams to ever win a world cup. they played rubbish against Bosnia and Iran and provided not much else in any of their other games.

Lets hope Germany teach them a lesson.

On another note lucky i left this joint and honestly you would have to be stupid to stay around for the last few matches in a country like that.

First few weeks everyone's happy, friends and hugging. Last few days, mayhem. Imagine if they hold one in Colombia and they get bundled out early.

All World Cups should be held in England and all Summer Olympics should be held in Greece.

No not yet you judge when a players career is over and even then all three played in different era's.

Messi has to win the World Cup on his own like Maradona did in 1986 to be considered.

Pele though pound for pound had better players around him. Brazil won 3 from 4 from 1958-70.
