Next step: quarter finale!

We did it again - 4:1 against England today. The next step is the quarter finale this Saturday, and however far we get, we know for certain that we are one of the world's 8 best teams!
Oh yes, this photo was taken at the Parade der Kulturen yesterday, and there is more to come.

Btw., Anonymouses, how are your respective teams doing in this World Cup? :-)

  2. Sorry. England deserved to lose but not today. This was no German victory - not the way it was achieved.

    Anonymous 2 - Oh please! The German team played three times better than the English one yesterday, so no more whining now. And if you are referring to that goal - it's not as if the final score was a close cut, it would still have been 4:2 in the end. Don't tell me that was a psychological disadvantage, football's about playing! Oh and sorry to warm up history but what about Wembley?

  4. I am no supporter of the English team but what happened was in line with the simply atrocious decisions right through the championship. Yes it is psychological. People expect to play with 11 opponents, not 12. The English team was forced to attack leaving their defence thin.
    The only fair outcome to the English fans would be if the Argentines win. I would have said win big but 1-0 is good enough.

    Litigating the past is allowed only for a statutory limit of 2 world cups! Which is why the hand of god is now to be considered the brain of that idiot Maradona!

  5. I agree that some very questionable decisions were made by the referees this year, in one game very much in my team's disfavour. This however has never been the other team's fault, we don't blame it on Serbia (who was a very worthy opponent) just as nobody in their right mind can blame on Germany what happened now.
    The only fair outcome to the English fans as well as the team would have been a change in the referees' judgement which wasn't made this time or any time before. Wanting the German team to lose to Argentina to make up for something that was no fault of theirs now is just petty and resentful.
