If I was a goalie in a shootout I'd dive the same way for every kick. You're certain to get close to half of them.Quote:

If a European team had a similar level of quality and character, would they even have made a play-off spot?Quote:

Adrian Edmonson (from the Young Ones and Bottom) is a season ticket holder at City though, he lives in the area and is a pretty big fan.
Slightly OT but worth mentioning somewhere; talk abouthaving "Promoters Remorse" :grenade:

Organisers of the German Grand Prix are regretting a marketing decision which has seen hundreds of fans taking advantage of a €77 (£61) discount on some last-minute tickets. The race organisers at Hockenheim promised to apply an €11 (£8.70) discount for every goal scored by the German football team against Brazil on Tuesday. The team went on to score a record breaking seven goals, resulting in a massive discount of €77 on selected tickets for the race in just over a week.
They had already used all of their substitutions.Quote:

To be fair Netherlands beat Spain & Chile? Thats not bad and Argentina (just) beat them plus a decent Belgium side.
Argentina have set up pretty defensively but thats seen off some decent teams.
The other side of the draw is weak too. I mean Brazil were average as hell but made the semi.
Germany laboured v Ghana who got their only point v Germany and struggled massively against Algeria.
No one has looked good all the way through.
Germany probably have had the best attack and beaten only France who looked strong.
Thus I reckon best attack and maybe most miserly defensive now. 0 goals conceded in 3 knock out games and only 3 all tournament. 2 of those in a laid back tie v Nigeria.
Thus its best attack v best defense. That seems like the teams who are each best at the two key apsects have made the final to me.
