They were very efficient, yes, they scored a lot of goals, yes, and in my opinion they were the best team in the A-B pools, better than the overhyped Portugal, but they do not have the same positive style as other teams did at this tournament (Holland, Spain and Russia, that is).

well agreed mate, Holland and Spain were more stylish in their attacks of course... but russia? it is arguable... what I'm trying to stress is that Germany do not play negative football...not anymore... not since Klinnsmann took over... that's the myth I just wanna dispell... players like Podolski, Shweinsteiger, Lahm are all attack minded players whereas Ballack is the glue that holds all of them together balancing attack and defence... their defence is much left to be desired though... and this is where Spain has the upper hand IMO...

All a fúcking life watching the germans win and the Spanish playing good football and losing. It reaches a point Magus, that you're 32, you see them doing it once again, and you say that you wish a 4-0 from the bottom of your stomach. :D

I understand sabre...  :D

the thing is alot of fans think that Turkey is somewhat of a minnow... and that because Germany struggled against them that Germany must be sh*t... the truth is that that turkish team with that kind of performance last night would give any 'big' team a run for their money whether they be holland, portugal, spain or russia...

Germany are a bunch of miserable tw*ts, though...

Let's be honest - any team which has "Ballack the Boring" as Captain must be less interesting than the AGM of the International Dictionary Fanciers' Association of South Wales.

Would of liked to see Xabi in the starting line up just to get the passing going a bit quicker and to sort Fernando out with some nice threw balls i said before i think wed see a top class performance with Xabi in the team,
