Tell Me :
Talk
Germany and France haven't met in the World Cup since 86. I'm sure it will quite a game.
If there was any shootout, it was in 1982. The referee was bad and there was this enormous agression of the pig Schumacher against Battiston.

Correct you are, West Germany: [www.thesoccerworldcups.com]
Really thought I could remember the French suffering over this in Mexico, I guess not.
Nothing is wrong, you are starting to feel the passion (another new one!).
Time to answer your last question to me (before levaving Brazil): I live in Argentina.
All the best and keep enjoying this sport!
Hard decision mate (have in mind Kelly will be waiting at Twin Peaks). LOL
IMHO Switzerland played better and deserved a better luck, at least to reach the penalties!
Well I copied here the point rules just a few pages back...
Question from the newbie: Is it somewhat typical in these tournaments that after group play where teams are trying to win position for the next rounds (and thus they're constantly working to score and win) that, after they advance, they tend to get conservative and start playing "not to lose"?
Peace,
Mr DJA
Argentina played in Brazil. What do you expect which will get support of the locals? Always the other one. Does not matter who is the other team.
I am swiss and....I am proud. Never thought that we have a chance.
Sadly it was Othmar Hitzfelds last game. His brother died today.
But you know there will be other games in future and hopefully Switzerland has to be count in.
You are right about the rivallity between Brazil and Argentina, that won't ever change!
You got to be proud of your national team! Heads high and congrats!!!
The played a outstanding game.............for a moment I though they win this one....
pity though..........

Thanks Stoneage...
From what I can gather on the radio broadcast (which appears to be 3-5 minutes behind reality) Belgium is apparently FAST. Over and over again I'm hearing of the team speed of Belgium.
Thinking Twin Peaks is in my future... I'm not sure how good a driver I'll be with the game on my ear buds... For some reason I predict road rage in my future if I'm not careful!
Peace,
Mr DJA
Hopefully long enough for me to get home and catch the ending! Time to log out of the work PC and head home!
Peace,
Mr DJA
It's a pretty entertaining game, though

France has these players of Arab ancestry on their team, Zidane before, Benzema now.
[en.wikipedia.org]
It seems the Moroccans, Tunisians and Algerians speak French.
Italy usually defeats Germany in these big tournaments, did at the 2012 Euro, in 2006 while Germany historically has a good record vs. France in these tournaments, won in 1986 in a shootout, won in 1982, I think in a shootout too. I don't think the two have met since '86 in the World Cup.
Quote
Benzema was born in the city of Lyon, France to French nationals of Algerian descent.[7][8] He observes fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.[9] His grandfather, Da Lakehal Benzema, lived in the village of Tighzert, located in the northern town of Beni Djellil in Algeria before migrating to Lyon, where he eventually settled in the 1950s.[10

Finally!!! ESPN Radio app is working on my cell phone! 86' minutes in and I can now listen to SWI v. ARG
T-minus not much until USA v. BEL
Is there something wrong with the fact that I think I'm more excited by the game than I am the Stones concert?
Feeling rater conflicted all of the sudden!
Peace,
Mr DJA

Thanks Quique-stone! I'm having some fun that's for sure!
Trying to decide what I'm going to do after work today... It will be halftime of the USA match when I get off work and I can either:
a) drive home and miss the majority of the second half of the game but be home to get a head start on vaccuuming our swimming pool when the game ends
or
b) go around the corner from my office to Twin Peaks to drink and watch the match with Knoxville's equivilent of "rabid soccer fans"!
Decisions Decisions
Peace,
Mr DJA
I forgot:
Here's wishing you a safe trip Quique-stone! SWI seems to be giving your team all they can handle right now. Extra time. Wish I could watch it but having fun with the radio!

Switzerland's header at the end hit the left post, off by inches, that was sad but Congrats to both Argentina and Switzerland.
Though a neutral, the crowd seemed to be against Argentina and in that, I sympathize with Argentina, most people there wanted to see them get beat.
Should be a good match between whomever wins the next match and goes on.
Best of Luck to Belgium, one of my standby teams and USA.

I was hoping that it would make penalties for Switzerland's sake. At least on the radio it seemed that Argentina was dominating for much of the extra time. At least until the injury time. Although it will be heartbreaking to watch, I want to see the point blank shot for SWI that hit the post in 120+. The radio annuncers went nuts at that point and I'd love to see what I missed.
Getting close to game time for my team... And you're right... Kelly's waiting at Twin Peaks and from what I understand, she's got a bunch of friends with her!

So now we're down to 0-0 matches and extra time all the way. It's not a good sign. The samba football from the first rounds seems to be over...
Big football nations like Holland, Brazil, Argentina and Germany do not really deliver but wins in the end with a smallest possible margin. As they tend to do.

Argentina played in Brazil. What do you expect which will get support of the locals? Always the other one. Does not matter who is the other team.
I am swiss and....I am proud. Never thought that we have a chance.
Sadly it was Othmar Hitzfelds last game. His brother died today.

Pretty much so, DJA. And also it seems like the gap between "lesser" football nations and the big ones - like the ones I mentioned above - is smaller than what it used to be.

I thought I had seen a bit of that so thanks for confirming it for me stoneage... I'll figure this out yet!
Good news for me & my team that the lesser nations are catching up with the big ones. I say that, but didn't I see somewhere that the USA was ranked by FIFA in "the teens"? Hard to think that when you're top 20 in the world you're a "lesser" team. Maybe we're not as "lesser" as I think we are. I just know that, in Basketball, Baseball & Hockey, I fully expect that the USA will compete if not win a championship. When it comes to international football, I don't have that same expectation.
Peace,
Mr DJA
