The World Cup 2014 Thread

Pfffft. Germany earned the 4th title today. We were the best team this tournament.

And just about now about two dozen Germans whom I never met just invaded my home.. Apparently my wife had a party planned all along... She knew they were going to win... somehow...

Was soll ich mal sagen?

Boring final - at least we were spared penalties.

After the Germany-USA game that ended 1-0, I knew it was going to be either one of those teams to win the whole World Cup!

Why did Messi get player of the tournament? Did Fifa just pick two randoms from the final rather than the players that the fans actually voted for?

Won't make a hill of beans difference to Señor Messi. He needed a World Cup win to join the ranks of truly great players. It's not going to happen for him.

There was nothing boring about it. Both teams delivered world class performances. This was a worthy final.

We. As in we Germans.

I thought you were an American now?

That's what the papers say. And yet, I'll always be a German.

Oh jeez, why don't you get real? Show me one immigrant that has moved from one country to another at adult age whose heart does not continue to beat for the country he or she came from. VJ'ers, look at your husbands and wives who have naturalized and tell me with a straight face that they no longer feel as if they still belong to their countries of origin. There's nothing evil about being honest.

Either way, we won, we deserve the title and I am happy and quite proud of my boys.

No way, it was very uncoordinated. Argentina didn't have a single on target shot, despite getting behind the German defence and both teams missed several opportunities for clear goals.
