England leaves the World Cup in South Africa after being thrashed by archrivals Germany with a 4-1 scoreline in the first round of playoffs.
This was a brilliant game! The new Germany, the emerging multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Germany has shown what is can do. Leading to this game, the British Press trashed Germany in ways that suggested WWII is still on; Germany answered to the British’s press endless Germany bashing press in a dazzling way. This is the new Germany: tolerant, progressive and multi-ethnic. Well deserved victory for Germany. Hopefully, the British will learn how to play competitive football rather than rehashing the WWII millions of times more against ghost imaginary Germany. Well done Germany!
Well the best team won, congratulation. Have to say that the English team had no defence and no stamina.It is full of over paid celebrities and few players. As for the manager, He has to take a good share of the blame, playing players in positions they do not usually play for some reason. Its time to give the whole lot the sack and start from scratch,it is obvious that playing in the premium league means nothing.
Britons scored a goal that was though not recognized. But the same situation happened back in 1966 when Herst (if I remember well for his name - I was only nine then) was granted a goal against Germany in 101 min that actually did not took place at all (to lead 3:2 at that moment)!! I would say that it is only now that England has finaly won the 1966 championship, because the today not recognized goal of theirs counts for the non-existed one that was granted to them in 101 min of 1966. Maybe this will help England to get free of a bad luck that goes with them since 1966.
Vladimir Interesting analysis. So, it seems there is a metaphysical poetic justice at war here! I think more than anything else, the Brits need to overcome their false superiority complex. They need to know that WWII is over. In fact, some of us wanted Germany win over England because we got sick and tired of the British press unwarranted bashing of Germany. Yesterday, England was soundly defeated convincingly by multi-ethnic Germany youth. England need to learn what the Germans are doing right. Get these players when they are very young: recruit them when they are children, train them well and teach them good values of fair play, hard work and pride in their own ability to win. This will take them a while but since they cannot defeat the Germans in the football fields in the world stage, perhaps they can join the Germany by learning from what the Germans are doing right.
Congratulations Germany - Well done - you made my day - clinical performance - yes they will be whinging as always aboout it crossing the line - but the thrashing was a great answer to their usual anti-German drivel in their press. They just seem not to be able to do sport, it's always politics! Must be an inferiority complex that forces them to live in the past! BTW I have genuine respect for the English players on the field and the genuine fans, its just the British institution that is continually offensive.
