Where have all the English flags gone? Has the World Cup finished? And, if so, why are the Germans still flying theirs?

Ve haff used zem fur zer toilet unt paper.

Heil

Ach! Meine Liebe Fuhrer!

You've used the English flags as toilet paper or the German ones?

TM & AFT:

Welcome to the spoof, you two fit right in with the rest of us nut cases!

I've stolen EVERY English flag, and I am currently stitching them together into the world's largest hanky, so the country can blow it's nose, wipe away the tears, and support Brazil, like we should have from the start.

So, you think you've got the giant English handkerchief market sewn up, have you? The fact is no one will believe you because it's an obvious stitch up.

I was waiting for everyone to come to their senses. Even if Brasil didn't win (gasp!!!!), they can hold their heads up high as being a class act.

C93, (was that a good wine year?) after seeing them trance a very good Chilean side and playing footy from a different planet there can only be one winner (hopefully)!

I can't let this away without a Besus Judda/Wonkey Moods comment:

This is the dullest Brazil team I have seen in a long time. I hate them and I hope they loose.
Chile were pathetic. They didn't bother playing. They seemed terrified of Brazil - not becasue they were particularly terrifying - but as if they feared Brazil's history.
Crap.
Be afraid of Lucio WHEN YOU ATTACK. be afraid of Fabiano WHEN HE ATTACKS.
But be afraid of the currant (current?) Brazilian team? Nonsense.
Brazil are beatable if you go down the centre and catch them on the break.
Look at the little glorious nation of North Korea.
They did scored against them.

Charpa, you are a lovely attractive (?) woman (?) but I will now have to hate you for ever and ever.

And anyone else who supports the robotic Brazilian Jesus freaks.

JB, the monsoon is invading your braincells and fine taste, have you ever tried cannabalism?

Tell me this straight up, Jaggedone: don't you wish that football could be a thing of beauty AND complet and utter madness?

Brazil are just too stiff (oo-er!) for my liking.
I watch them and i don't feel excitement. They defend for a bit, the other team gets flashbacks of the olden times of ye olde Brazilians of the past and panic, Brazil counterattacks...bing-bang-bong.....GOAL.
Repeat ad nauseum.

Argentina and Germany are so totally random (I used to hate German teams until they became crap a few years back) that you never know what is gonna come out of them.

Watching them is like watching Boris Becker when he was at Wimbledon.
Madness and genius all rolled into one.

Brazil are more like Stefan Edberg or Pete Sampras. They have become the German teams of old. Efficient. Its not enough for me.
I want some madness.

Yes JB, I agree, madness is the source of all things beautiful, I bow to your wisdom oh King Loony:

Lest we forget not the reasons for our presence, converted JO.

Sieg Heil and let the fucking Krauts blanket the planet with their madness + Juergen Klinsmann

Ahh, Juergen, dear Juergen....you were the master of the balletic dive....

Ah, you are not watching them from a woman's perspective. They are beautiful, they are exciting to watch and bing bang bong? Don't get me started.

If you're looking for a man, Charpa, then Dirk Kuyt of Holland is your man.
A dreamboat.

No, of course, I'm not looking for a man. I'm just looking at men. I'm happy with Brasil.

So far Brazil look the best side. I disagree with JB: there have been more boring Brazil sides. Chile were a very good side but couldn't hurt Brazil.

I also don't think the Germans are particularly random. They might have seemed to be, from the perspective of an England team that was, er, challenged, cognitively. I think that what they did against us was simple, functional. Fast, flexible, but not random. They sussed us out, easily, simply.

But it's hard to say who's 'best' in these knockout competitions, 'cos they don't all play the same opponents. I mean, if we hadn't played Germany or similar, we might still be in it.

You make a good point that had England come up against a different team other than Germany in the early stage, they could still be in it another round. One will never know.

As for Brasil, all joking aside, they can be one of the most maddening teams I've ever watched because as often as they play brilliantly, they also have a tendency to hold back until the second half and when doing so, have, more than once, lost a game because of their lateness in getting their act together.

At any rate, the party will go on in Brasil, regardless.

Well I hate to disagree with the experts but I reckon Spain is the favorite for me. They played superbly against the Portugese and, unlike every other team I've seen so far, all their balls found their mark.

Inaccuracy has been the downfall of most of the footie in this series so far. The Spaniards have what it takes.

Just been informed that there's been all manner of malarkey in the England camp. Subject to a gagging order until Capello's future is decided.

This one will run and run when it all finally comes out.

Back on topic - Brazil have been criticised back in Brazil for being functional rather than inspired. However, a functional Brazilian is usually more adept than a flair player from any other nation. Spain look brilliant - but will they choke as they have done so often in the past?

My money's still on Argentina.

May be Mark could award points to the person who successfully predicts the winner (well one can dream)

Mark give points away that's just like the Brazilian defence giving goals away.

Brazil all the way, that's my tip and if they don't my Dutch missus will smother herself in Eierlikor

Hello.

And hello to you too.

And the man at the back.

The 1994 Brazil team was functional too with the occasional flash of -not so much brilliance, but more vague excitement.
For other teams that is Ok, but Brazil have always set the bar high and this team hasn't reached it.

Maybe they will.

Maybe Robinhio or Kaka will do something spectacular. But I think they are playig it very, very cautious because Dunga (a great player but as far from a 'flair player' as you could possibly get and seems the same as a manager) would be terrified if they stared playing ' Samba Football' and start leaking goals.

Its plain to see that Argentina and Germany are as loose as the shoelaces on a 5-year old, but that looseness is what makes them more exciting to watch as far as I'm concerned.

Horses for courses and all that, I suppose.

If Holland have the confidence tomorrow, and Schneider and Robben do their thing then they will break down Brazil.
Brazil are temperamental are have been hodling abck so far with onlty the game agaisnt Portugal having moments where some of the payers showed their true character - up agaisnt the Brazillian born Portugeus players they seemed to lash out randomly (and stupidly).

Schneider and Robben and VanPersie (and a couple of others) have the ability to do little tricks and things that gets on Brazilians nerves.
They hate anybody being more skillful and tricky than them!
Get them riled up enough and their be cards and sending's off.
Come on Holland!
For Jaggedone's wifes sake at least!!!


PS: Charpa, I know you've got yourself a Brazilian (oo-er) but if you ever change your mind then you should check out Dirk Kuyt and these other handsome devils: Tevez, Wayne Rooney.

I'm not gay (well, except for the time I was Gay-For-A-Day last year), but I do have to say that Roque Santa Cruz of Paraguay is a good-looker.
