Anyway it's somehow strange that Germany is almost always in the half-finals but does not match it too often to win a world-cup (only 3 times). But Spain was by far better. Confused
 
You are having a laugh! Aren't you?Confused
 
Only Italy and Brazil have won it more times.  Oh to have won three timesLOL
 
The Octopus is always right.  And Klose will want the Golden Boot and I think he can get the all time record too?

It was a very nice match, that last shot by Forlán was impressing, bad luck it hit the post.
Congrats to Germany and Uruguay for this WC.

Indeed great match, Uruguay played, once again, greatly and proved that they're a team to take in account.
 
A pitty the 3rd goal by Germany....
 
Let's hope that 'Paul the Octopus' is only right for German matches.

Klose had a problem with his back, I think, so he couldn't play. I will miss this great player Disapprove Maybe he'll play at the Euro 2012 tournament, but he can't leave his mark on the World Cup any more.

Beautiful game, nice to watch. Congratulations to Uruguay, nice to see them so high.

I heard that Klose has flu, as well as Lahm and the coach, that's why they didn't play. Great game, 5 goals, Forlan doing one of the most beautiful goals of the whole WC, and two mistakes of Muslera, was sad, but this Keeper has a lot to offer in the future. (I do hope another "maracanazo" in the next World Cup in Brazil, that would be nice... EmbarrassedLOL).
 
@Pablo: I do hope this famous Paul is wrong as well, but let's face it, Holland is quite ugly football. Well, at least the goal average wasn't that bad at the end, right Alex...?
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

I stopped counting after the first matches, but yes I would be curious about the average of the whole tournament Tongue

That's quite possibly the least accurate evaluation I have ever seen.

^ That's perfectly correct, Americans call it soccer and the rest of the world calls it football. Confused The emphasis is that the rest of the world means more people than the Americans, of course...
