Pele had more talent, didn't need to cheat. Regardless, Pele was the better player although of course any such conjecture is not fact but OPINION.

Show them respect by all means but they're miles away from being unbeatable.

Where have I said they are unbeatable? Feckin' ell some people really like putting words into others people's mouths.

English octopus predicts German win

Paul the octopus, with a perfect track record of predicting World Cup matches, has predicted a German win. (AAP)

Disastrous news for England fans ahead of the crunch last-16 match with Germany on Sunday: an octopus in Germany with a perfect track record of predicting World Cup matches has predicted a German win.

Two plastic boxes containing tasty morsels, one with a German flag and one with an England flag, were lowered into the tank that houses Paul the octopus at his home in Sea Life in Oberhausen, western Germany.

Paul immediately climbed into the German box to a huge roar of approval from the crowd.

Earlier in the tournament, the mollusc medium correctly predicted Germany would beat Ghana and Australia in their group D matches and was also right to predict they would lose to Serbia.

And the eight-legged oracle is also coming off a run of good form at major championships. He had an 80 per cent record for Germany games at the European Championships.

England fans have reason to feel somewhat betrayed by his latest prediction. Paul should by rights be an England supporter, having been born at Sea Life in Weymouth on the south English coast

I have heard that the octopus was spoken to last night and then put against a wall and was shoot.

It turns out that it was a German undecover squid, when asked for his last word he said "suckers"

Me vs Ben.

Should be easy, just throw a tub of wood lice into there dressing room and there clogs will be knackered before the game begins !

1 - 0 to us, skrtel to break robbens legs.

When do we play mate ?

My dutch lads havent really clicked as of yet, not really got out of 2nd gear but still won all 3 and now have Robben back so we are pretty confident.

But we will not be underestimating the slovaks like dundalks azzuri did

Stylish football against hackers.

You have to hope the dutch sneak a single go and progress onwards as Slovakia are already on their limits.

Correcting posts.. gawd.. grow-up !

Maradona is the greatest - carried poor teams on his own, and played football like no other

If the ref had spotted the handball goal it would not have stood,like a ref had spotted Linekar's effort against Holland 2 years later in the Euro Championship.. Linekar went off celebrating and was penalised cos the ref saw it.. :talktothehand

cheating?

It was an opportunist's jump and his hand beat his head.. all players do it, that's football, get over it.

Diego was kicked and fouled and ultimately the injuries that cripple him now, due to ppl who thought it ws ok to kick him and bring him down.. cheats or is that fooball too?

I find it amazing that ppl actually deny the level of greatness of this individual 'footbaling-wise' cos of that one incident.. ppl forget he scored the best ever goal in the same match too.. :lookaround

.. and so the scenes you seen around him; people in stadia running to catch a glimpse of him, worlds media cramming around him and oppostion players and coaches taking his pics and so eagerly wanting to meet him, is because he commands that respect, having inspired a watching and playing generation on the world stage, to this day the football he played has NEVER been bettered - FACT !

I can see Ghana beating USA. They look like a decent side!

by **Big Niall** » Sat Jun 26, 2010 5:24 pm

Just looking at the draw. England had such an easy draw but losing the group to the yanks means they'll probably have to beat Germany,Argentina,Spain and Brazil to win it.
