World Cup in Brazil (2 Viewers)

Both sides had chances they will rue. Play has been fairly even and Argentina a little more dangerous although Germany made up for that at the end of the first half.
 
Wouldn't you just know it. I watch this whole bleeping game, another 0-0 funfest, go into extra time, and I just HAD to use the restroom. Naturally, I'm gone maybe 2 minutes and I miss the ONLY goal, the WINNING goal, the ONLY goal of the WC final. I hate soccer. {eek3} -- Al
 
Well done Germany, best team throughout the tournament . Deserved winners .first European team to win the World Cup in the American continents I think
 
Well done Germany
I think that makes it four times you have won it
A record
 
They were the best team in the tournament and deserved the win. However, Argentina played them tough and would have been deserving as well. Disappointing for the Albicelestes. However, they had their chances.

A historic Cup for many reasons.

Brazil has won the WC 5 times and Italy 4 times but Germany does own the record for Top 2 finishes with 8, as they have won 4 times and come in second 4 times as well. -- Al

That is why porta-johns in the living room are socially acceptable during cup play...:eek: Michael

That's why they have DVRs :wink2: Sorry if you didn't like a nil nil game but it was a great tournament and a well played match and I'm glad it didn't go to penalties.

It wasn't a dull 0-0 game but 0-0 is still 0-0. I don't get the whole DVR thing. Taping a live event and watching it later is still watching something that has already taken place. A replay of the goal shown by the network or watching the DVR is the same thing. And while I'm questioning things, why do they play 2 15 minute periods for extra time instead of just one 30 minute period? I mean, since a goal in the first 15 minute period doesn't end the game, why separate the the extra time? Doesn't make sense. Anyway, it wasn't a bad game and I am glad it didn't go to those ridiculous penalty kicks. -- Al

...And Soccer still love you Al. Your cable service provider will love you too if you upgrade to a DVR box.


WOW what a CUP! I was rooting for Argentina and man they had goals served up on a platinum platter to them with Lobsters and Filet Mignon on them and sent them back to the chef. Ouch! They had huge opportunities, but oh well and great shot for Goete [sic] boy. This was a Great tournament and the bottom-line:

Germany are the WORLD Champions and nobody else in the world can claim that title.

PS: Such heartbreak for Brazil.

Al,

Here we go again with you...dude how much running do you want these guys to do? Is an hour and a half not a enough. Then when no goal is made then go into overtime and break it into two so they can get a rest and WATER. Do you want them to play now for 2 hours with no break?

Al your hardcore man, and get a DVR yo, it will make your viewing life so much easier.

John, I'm too old-fashioned a dinosaur to fool with such new-fangled technology like DVR's. I don't watch already played sporting events. It's live or ESPN highlites later on. As to the OT in soccer, someone already mentioned that maybe soccer could take men off the field in OT in order to open up play a little bit. Perhaps sudden death, as well. If those don't work, then go to the penalty kicks but moce the spot back and give the goalie a legitimate chance to stop the ball instead of relying on a fluke, correct guess or a choking shooter. JMO.:wink2: -- Al

I have Direct TV and although I was taping the game, you can freeze the TV (if you go to the bathroom, for instance) and then hit the pause button and it resumes. I had to do this today as an important call came through as the second half started.

Why two 15 minute halves? Because those are the rules. Why does a run scoring fly not count as a time at bat? Because those are the rules. American football has some odd rules but those are the rules.

I'm glad it didn't go to PKs either but if it had, I wouldn't have had an issue with that; the players were gassed. Perhaps it was exhaustion that led to the winning goal because Gotze was not defended. They made one mistake and it cost them.
 
Now, it's WC withdrawal time :(

Well, the European leagues start in a month or so and there's a MLS match on tonight ^&cool

HIER-REGIERT-DER DFB! HIER-REGIERT-DER DEB!


Exciting--it couldn't have been scripted better than it turned out. Götze’s juking shot past Romero was just excellent, like seeing a game-winning, walk-off pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth. And Schweinsteiger took hit after hit and kept coming back stronger. Argentina played tough, but in the end, they got worn down.

Prost World-Cup-Sieg! Add that fourth start to the logo! Und bis 2018--Zu-ga-be! Zu-ga-be! Zu-ga-be!
