Great, please take this to D&D if you want to talk about it, this thread is for football. Anyone replying to that post with anything other than a picture of a crying David Luiz with "60 MILLION BRITISH POUNDS STERLING" overlayed on it will be probated.

Hmm, 550 new posts since I left the house at the end of the game, and somehow, someway, they were all about as entertaining as the match itself. Good job everybody. E:

Just came back from watching the game. I'm happy for colombians, croatians and chileans, also I'm glad that the horror possibilty of Fred lifting the world trophy has been eliminated.

There have been some good goals in this tournament, but Schürrle's last one in this game may be my favorite of them all. Leaps high to catch the ball as it's passed to him, gains a bit of control, buries it right under the crossbar. A friend of mine says that the fix is in and that Argentina will win the next two games because Messi is the anointed child. But as good as he is, I can't really see Argentina beating Germany at this point and it assumes they even manage to squeak past the Netherlands. In any case, what an amazing game, not sure we'll ever see the like again.

Ghana, the US and Algeria all gave Germany a lot of trouble, they are beatable, even more so by a genius like Messi.

I have never been a fan of the Germans. I have always rooted against them, without excessive vehemence, except when they play Spain/Portugal/France. But today, today I have ordered a Schweinsteiger kit. Pig Improver, now and forever.

The BBC had this to say on the match: "Germany scored two more goals in this game, 7, than England did in their past two World Cups combined." That's why I like the BBC. They focus on what's important and don't sugarcoat it.

I went through most of the thread. Thank you goons for posting exactly what I was feeling: the pure hilarity of the situation. I remember once when my youth team lost 7-1. However, we had a few guys missing and played the whole game 11v9.

Watching ESPN, still, and at this point I just feel bad for Gilberto Silva. Ballack makes point after point, and Silva just has to say, 'of course.' Score boarded by Michael loving Ballack. In all my days I never thought I'd see this.

I am sure it's been covered, but it really can't be said enough how poo poo Paulinho and Luiz Gustavo were in that match. I don't think I have seen a professional match where players seemingly looked as though closing down someone with the ball was a foreign concept to them. The space Germany had to operate was incredible.
