QuoteDon't even ask if he can do finger-guns because you know what the answer is.
I bet he can't even do a cartwheel either.

Open goal for Lahm, and he chooses a fancy backheel which fails to find a teammate?
Normally I'd say 'no left foot' but he's got to be one of the most two-footed players going. Not much point him playing in midfield if he doesn't have the confidence to shoot when he gets in the box.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
And with the keeper showing a huge gap at the near post too. It was an angle just made for a left-foot shot home.
Ghana's defending has been superb lately though. And I think it now doesn't even need to be said that this is a great game; you can just take it as read.
Bah, what a glorious chance. How did he manage to let himself get offside there? He had the two defenders in full view.
Christ, Löw strikes me as a real sore loser-type. I know they're not losing, but y'know what I mean...
What a staggeringly brilliant example of the truly beautiful game.
That was not a game to relax into after Iran Argentina.
The Germans were way too reckless once they drew level, all they needed was a draw but risked everything for a win, almost blew spectacularly against them.
Cynical foul by Medunjanin there and deserved the booking at the very least. Could it have been argued that he'd denied Nigeria an obvious goal-scoring opportunity? The attacker looked like he'd have been through on goal had it not been for the forceful tugging to the ground.
How was Iran v Nigeria so awful, yet Iran played so well against Argentina and Nigeria have started at a great pace against Bosnia?
Football is weird sometimes
This referee is allergic to his whistle.
Can't believe that goal was allowed to stand. Ref actually ran towards the spot of the foul too, put his whistle to his lips, then just let play go on.
Thought the challenge was fair enough tbh.
Bosnia's ruled out goal was an awful call though.
But Bosnia can't cope with Emaneke at all.
I wonder if this goal line tech could not be adapted/evolved one day to check offsides in real time. It's the same basic principle right? Obviously an issue of greater complexity for a computer to work out, but its possible I think. Some kind of sensor in boots perhaps?

2 from 2 at that stage. A good day all round. I think I will begrudgingly concede that perhaps, 2006 has now been relegated to second. And we haven't even hit the knockout stages.
Perfect Main course that.
The dessert is shaping up nicely.
It wasn't entertaining but it was fascinating. (Dublin-Donegal 2011 schtyle)
Japan-Greece was truly awful. I just shuddered thinking I watched it all.
Never a foul for me. It was a tussle for the ball. Great reffing.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Your grá for this World Cup is astounding. Well played sir.

Nigerian player clearly ankle-tapped him as he cut in behind him. Foul for me.
It ain't rugby Limerick lad.
:P
In all seriousness. If it was given I wouldn't have complained but I agree with the decision on the field.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Not sure how that would work tbh. Remember if any part of you that can score is offside, you're offside. A sensor in the boot couldn't tell where your head is.
Maybe there's a way alright, though I can't picture it.
Bosnia not showing enough urgency in getting back into this.
They just always seem to make the wrong choice going forward. Nigeria barely tested this half.
