*Official* Germany v Spain (Semi Final 2)

[The Sean]

Spain comfortably the brighter of the two sides in these opening minutes.

 

[R_D]

I love how both sides are willing to retain position and pass the ball around even in defensive half... rather than just hoof it long.

 

[GIMH]

Not sure if it was a pen but defo a foul that

 

[The Sean]

Yeah first contact fractionally outside the box for mine, but Ramos definitely caught him.

 

[Kweek]

defintely a penalty.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Germany ballsed up two massive counter-attacking opportunities, Spain had two chances early on and sweet FA else because they're Spain. Spain's best chance came from a rare decent cross. Germany are just as dangerous off Spain corners as they off their own. The only problem is for Germany since the early stages is if they concede first really, otherwise they've look far more dangerous without quite having that German killer instinct yet.

Oh and again the linesman are piss poor. Went through most of the tournament with brilliant officiating then we get this amateurish crap with offsides in the semis.

 

[grecian]

Pfft

there was hardly any contact.


*Goes away grumbling about poofter rules, and bloody Beach Balls*

 

[shivfan]

Not the most thrilling first half I've ever seen....

 

[R_D]

Xabi Alonso shoots wide for the millionth time in this world cup...... I don't know why he keeps on trying long shot when he can't get one on target......

Bit more closer with the latest one though.

 

[shivfan]

This World Cup reminds me of 1990 in so many ways....

 

[GIMH]

Game hotting up now. Spain starting to really threaten.

 

[shivfan]

Ramos is the last player on the pitch who should be demanding a penalty....

 

[GIMH]

This World Cup reminds me of 1990 in so many ways....

Which ways?

 

[GIMH]

Klose really does look like Chris Greenacre

 

[GIMH]

Should have buried that lid

 

[The Sean]

Yep, hit it FFS.

 

[Jarquis]

Germany getting back into it.

 

[GIMH]

BTW I want Spain to lose because Paraguay's penalty should have been retaken. Cheats. Whole sport's a sham, clearly.

 

[The Sean]

That's a tremendous header from Puyol.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ooo.

Very un-Spanish sort of goal.

See what Jerry has now.
