Of course Germany hasn't showed any quality in this WC. They scored most goals of all, but this must be a fluke. They spanked England, but this is sure a fluke. They suck.

I agree : the 1st goal against England was lucky (kick and rush and poor defence) and when the English put a bit of pressure on the German defence, it exploded in two minutes. After the ref error, they played counter attack against a desperate team... |
