Actually I´m a not this big soccer guy and I don´t care about nativity, but after the English yellow press offenses against Germany before the game, I´m "happy" we won 4:1
Also that the current World Champion Italy and the second France are already dropped out...

Overpaid, arrogant (some) and concerned with their £150 -200,000 +
per week money.
Madly over hyped and a gutter press thinking football is WW3.
I stopped being too much with football when it became Man Utd PLC etc many years ago
I prefer Rugby. Or cricket. But that is just a business now too.
Best is golf. At least you can look at the scenery in between strokes

I still can't see the sport in 22 men playing with balls..
I prefer actionsports like boxing, krav maga etc (and dislike cagefight, wrestling, k1 freefight etc..

) and motorsports like motorcross, rallye (especially endurance) and stuff like IPSC / DSR
I think football players are a bunch of kids.. They fall to the ground, watch their mother for a second, and when they notice she looks back, they start crying.. Someone says "cheer up" or gives a little kiss.. and the worst pains are cured in an heartbeat.. Unbelieveable.. If housil could do the same things as an footballreferee noone would have to die on this planet..

and yes.. I mean the world's most known football thingie.. the "Schwalbe"

The England players are in the richest, most opulent league in the world.
They are carried every saturday many of them by the foreign players in the "Premier League" teams.
But this game has exposed their inadequacies on the international stage mercilessly. Worse ever world cup tournament result for us.
They only go on if they are promised a million pound cheque at half time, with another million on the final whistle.
"Never in the field of human football, has so much crap been spoken by so many, about such rubbish players"

I'm not sure about this as I have never met them in person but Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden are said to be very much into golf and Adrian Smith also plays football I hear.

I don't care about football, but I always cheer for Germany because my mother is German.. (and the Dutch hate the Germans.. something with a certain austrian person and something in 1974....) So it's a lot of fun to go to work with a white shirt amongst all orange people....
