Spain needs to hurry the game a bit more – they can't seem to penetrate that German defensive wall. Other than those 2 or 3 clear shots – it's been a boring game. Germany is lethal at counterattacking. Why DelBosque doesn't play Cesc?

I'm NOT happy with the final. Uruguay and Germany were my darlings, after seeing my home teams, Mexico and USA, be kicked out. I'm debating with myself about if I even want to watch the game on sunday. Right now, the descition is no way in hell I'm watching my dream crushers. But that may change in the course of the week

Guess I WILL have my dream final: URU vs GER, only for the third spot. Haha.
Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks, maaaaaan, it's a fortune I didn't bet or anything, but I was doing Oh-so-well until yesterday.

Oh, and I also want to beat the ink outta Paul. Damn you, squishy accurate marine creature.

He he he viva la paiella compadre. I'm Italian but viva los latinos!!!!!!!!!!
After the Germans threw a party when Italy crashed out (because we gave them
a hiding 3 world cups in a row) I thought they deserve to loose and that from
a classy team like Spain. Unfortunately Lippi kept the Big guns of the Azzurri at
home out of personal issues with a player that slapped his son for calling him a useless
southerner etc but now I will party for the Germans loosing. I love it man well done Espana.

Boring was a bad word to pick.. I would say two teams playing chess trying to find a weak spot.

Spain is my team too.. Brilliant having Pedro in the starting lineup. Germany missed Muller a lot.

Don't worry about Spain they are just mighty fine.
It;s difficult for any team to penetrate the German side see the Germans usually
break ya legs and penetrate the bones and ligaments etc so yes its difficult to
survive all that because after the leg breaking man they even get technical or so.
Well done amici spagnoli, un compadre Italiano viva viva Espana. Viva los latinos!!!

I missed the game but at least I got the score quick and easy by dialing 1-877-Net10-80 from my Net10 phone. What a disappointing loss for Germany. They were doing so well. I became a fan after watching the Germany vs. Argentina game and thought there were going to win this year! Oh well!

Don't worry about Germany if Italy crashes out again Germany might get to the finals again and even win if the other teams go on strike or something.
Goodbye my friends and the shnitzels and beer were delish bring some more next time.
But paiella is my favourite gringo's ciao ciao.
