Van Gowl completely undermined his goalie there. After the last shootout it was clear he had no faith in him, so the Argies knew that as they pranced up to take their penos. Ha ha, Cillessen, even your manager doesn't rate you. And Cillessen knew this too. Daft move, if you ask me. But then, good luck to Krul trying to outpsyche the Argies.

RTE lads were having a go at Cilessen after as well. I thought it wasn't about the keepers? Also, it's not a lottery, for fucks sake.

Spot on.

Van Gowl even said he wanted to send Krul on for te penos but ran out of subs. Fuck him anyway.


Also Van Gowl ? Fucking Genius.

I'm gonna have to get down to the Phoenix Landing really early on Sunday, otherwise the Germans will have all the good barstools taken.

I have to say, Ken Early is writing some great stuff.

Brazil-Germany, 2014 World Cup: The Brazilians thought magical thinking would win them the World Cup. They were wrong.

 

[Cormcolash]

The Brazilians thought magical thinking would win them the World Cup, but unfortunately for them they play some of the worst, shittest football the world has ever seen, and they let David Luiz and Fred play in all of their matches

 

[Cormcolash]

I hope the orange bastards beat them 8-0 in the third place playoff, which incidentally is on the 12th of July

 

[nlgbbbblth]

I am two points clear in the work World Cup competition.
Cash prizes for the top 5.
Correctly predicting the winner = 40 points.
I'm only the person from 63 entrants to pick Germany.
The people in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th have all picked Argentina to win.

So if the Germans win, I win.
If Argentina win, I finish 6th and end up with NOTHING.

I have one more reason to root for Die Nationalmannschaft

And the fact that they've played the best football by a mile and the fact Phillip Lahm is their captain ? Who doesn't like Phillip Lahm ?


By the way that article made me want to read his book.

I've jinxed him now haven't I ?


Fuck it.

I'm actually warming to him on the podcast at least. He was wired after the Germany game

I enjoyed that great rant to which Gab Marcotti, who isn't normally stumped for words, responded to with "wow."

 

[Jerry Twig]

Yeah, Gad Marcotti talks such shite anyway.

Like the line in that article - Germany was like a 10-year-old playing PlayStation against his grandfather.

How is that pod in general?

.

He always reminds me of Terry Hall when they show him...

Good, they get a lot of the same folks who are on the Guardian, Sid Lowe, Honigstein, Jonathan Wilson etc.

Oh, good info.

I listen to the Guardian one. Probably not missing much.

Obviously more Ireland-centric, which suits me fine. The major problem I had/have with it is that they put Ken Early on a pedestal, whereas the other lad's insights are often much more interesting.

I find he's a lot easier to take in print.

Until a few days ago, I found him nearly impossible to take in any form.
