Yep it makes us look better that they thrashed Argentina of all people by 4 goals. On this form the Germans could even win the tournament! 


Well done Germany! Amazing performance, they totally outplayed Argentina. I would never have bet on 4-0 before the game, can't quite believe it. Such an organised and efficient team, no heroics just incredibly solid football all round.
Poor Ghana, fucking gutted for them.
I thought Brazil played far better football than Holland (especially in the first half). Both of Holland's goals were pretty freakish. It's amazing that Holland have got to the semis without really playing well so far in the tournament. Of course, now you have to fancy them to get to the final (where they will lose to Spain).
Spain looking slick but Paraguay have the scramble working.i wonder if they purposely did that in front of hagen dazs?![]()

Rejoice, rejoice at Germany's emphatic World Cup victory over England! Stefan Szymanski, an economist, NS contributor and co-author of a book called Why England Lose, pointed out in the Times that the English Premier League, from which most England players are drawn, is "the child of the Anglo-Saxon model of capitalism": highly priced, barely regulated, controlled by plutocrats, marketed worldwide, full of extravagantly remunerated foreigners. The Bundesliga, on the other hand, comprises highly regulated clubs (subject to strict national rules on what they spend) owned by local fans. The players include a large proportion of home-grown products.
The World Cup match, concluded Szymanski, was a contest between "the liberal British model" and "the German model of social democracy". Thank God our side won. The left doesn't have much to celebrate these days.
