You sure?

USA 320 million
Brazil 200 million
France 66 million
Argentina 42 million
Algeria 38 million
Ghana 22 million
Netherlands 17 million
Portugal 11 million


that's at least 800 million people with at least a bit of a grudge against German football    :P

Don't agree. The German football team is excellent and plays a lot differently then in the 70's.
We should let all this hatred go, it's stupid.

For a tiny nation with just 17 million people and a Dutch competition that is much like a Mickey Mouse competition we do extremely well on World Championships and I am proud of the team. Beforehand, nobody gave much for them to survive the first round.

For my great German friends I hope they will become World Champion.

For Ully, I will have a chuckle if Argentina wins  ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;)

Willem van Hanegem for sure has a good reason to hate Germany and the Germans. But seriously, it makes me afraid and sad when people nowadays speak of 'hate' when they talk about football. How much did THEY learn from my nation's dark history?



I'm leaving this discussion now, it's getting offtopic.

Congrats German friends :)

totally deserved based on the complete tournament, but what the hell was the referee thinking with that faul Neuer made ???

Free kick for germany instead of a red card + penalty for Argentina

I guess you got very lucky there

Well, maybe the same that he was thinking when Schweinsteiger was hit in the face so hard that it had to be sewed or when Kramer was checked to the floor by an argentinian shoulder.

Seriously, of course this was wrong. IMHO Neuer would have deserved to see the yellow card for jumping into the man and Argentina should have gotten a free kick. But it's not fair to pick up this one scene only and not mention the other rude fouls. I thnik the shoulder check on Kramer's face was much harder and they didn't even see it.

It could have gone wrong in the final, but Germany was the best team in the tournament I have to say - congrats!

But hey, wouldn't it be fair to send over half of the Cup to Holland as a big "Thank You!" for exhausting the Argentinians in the semi-final  ;)

Cheers

I don't know if you can watch the game on the internet. ARD has a 'mediathek' but it only runs in germany. At least they says so, you can give it a try.

http://www.sportschau.de/fifawm2014/video/videodeutschlandgegenargentiniendieerstehalbzeit100.html


If you can watch it, go to 16:20 and see what happens on the right of the playfield, near the argentinian goal. The game continues but is soon stopped and then they show some slow motions. Poor boy. It was a knock off and IMHO well worth a penalty and red card.




I'm not complaining about this but I don't want to see Neuer's foul judged and the others not.
