    1988 is almost two decades ago...and that lousy title is the only one you EVER won... :D

    and there is nothing more boring than italian football...trappatoni is in germany again and the VFB stuttgart is playing "cattenagio" like 0:0 games...up the premier league!!!

      I know that my friend, but everybody in the whole world remembers us for playing the most attracting football in the world (74, 78, 88, 90, 2000), beautiful goals, superplayers, and a technique........ARGGGHHHH the best! I agree we did not win much, but they played the best football!

      The only thing we know the Germans from is inventing The Schwalbe!

      :D

            Well I have to agree, Jero. But using Adriana or Linda (Evangelista) as arguments is really unfair...

            Anyway, here they seem to have totally forgotten the 2002 debacle* in Korea. The media and fans are just as sure as they fucking were 4 years ago that the "Blue" will win the Cup... Almost all observers will state that the French team are the best...

            *they were said to be the "dream team", but they only scored 1 goal, had 2 neals and lost against Senegal... :D
            I foresee another "hexagonal" disillusion for them in a few months. Too bad for kids, but so many so-called specialists should still learn about the essence of sports (first lesson: no match is ever won in advance; second lesson: every opponent has to be respected; whatever your status is, you have to prove it every time you enter the field, etc, etc).
            But I think it's more or less the same song in many other countries.

              I would add 1998 (Paris). The Netherlands were stopped in the semi-finals, but in my opinion they played the best game that year too. Plus I don't remember who defeated the Dutch in 98, but they would not have failed in the final... I thought that they desserved to win back then, and I still do, honestly - it's easier to be honest when you're not blinded by chauvinism. :D

                      you deserve to win if you do win...did george foreman deserve to win against ali in the rumble of the jungle because he was the harder puncher? football is a simple game...you score...you win...

                      or to quote the one and only... "Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end,
                      the Germans win." -- Gary Lineker

                        :D Now, this is really funny. Very realistic, too. If I were a chauvinist, I would ask you who deserved to win in Sevilla, in 1982... Remember that semi-final?

                        But I will be more sadistic: do you think that Argentina deserved to win in, er... 1986 (?) with a goal that was scored the way cameras showed it was?

                        I mean, as soccer is the LAST sport that doesn't use video to clarify doubts on the field, would you go as far as asserting that winners always deserve their victories?

                          Well, I know that Germany has been a leader as far as soccer for a very long time, but I think you're exaggerating a bit this time, aren't you? :D

                            1982 was really a pain in the ass that those fucking italians who played the most horrible football won the cup...getting into the second round without any victory...the semi final was a real classic and we won it because of our fighting spirit, and a french team shitting their pants when rummenigge came on the field...fuck schumacher for his foul on battiston...

                            1986 argentina...we were too exhausted again...and schumacher had a "blackout"...

                            winners ALWAYS deserve their victories...as long as they're germans :D

                                Our focus has to be on nailing Japan and Croatia to get to the 2nd round,both those countries probably feel the same way about what they have to do.
