You're right! :lol
I thought of Volleyball and Field Hockey.

Always-honest said:although i believe women can compete in almost every sport, they REALLY suck ass in soccer.
Me and ten of my friends (who never played for a soccer team) could easily beat the world champion in women soccer.
seriously.. it's horrible to look at because they are so bad.
Ofcourse there ARE some women with a bit of more talent ad could even play in a mens team, but thee isn't a female soccer team that really shines as a whole.

I know some women who'd castrate you for saying that.
Always-honest said:they'd still suck ass at playing soccer.
trust me, i'm as emancipated as men can get. but so far (and i don't really understand why) the gap in quality between male and female soccer is HUUUUUUUUUUGE.. just huge.
I was flabbergasted when i was watching a female World Cup tournament for the first time.
Looked like complete amateurs (they are, but still.. real amateurs)
It's way different in other sports. Tennis for example. Sure, male tennis is a bit faster and they hit harder, but in terms of technique, i love to watch womens tennis. Goddamn, i wish Hingis was still playing.
maybe it will get better
H_Prestige said:Even in tennis, men have more fluid strokes.
no.. and i'm really not saying this out of disrespect towards women. Maybe it's because men have been playing proffesional soccer for so long, and sure, there ARE some women that have reasonably good technique, but womens soccer is laughable compared to mens soccer.Des0lar said:Actually women are better at soccer than men; there was a match against the top german women's football team and the men's. The women beat the men really really bad.

I still got the Euro 2008 shirt (still don't know why I bought that one, ugliest Germany short in a long time :lol), so that was enough for now. But yeah, I've got to buy the World Cup winner shirt nowfaridmon said:I didn't know there were lot of people in the WC thread that are late to the part (i.e. buying the national tops) I bought my Danmark 2 weeks before the world Cup
Go for it mate. The Danmark one was worth it becaue how awsome Adidas have designed it, so I assume the German one will be Awsome squared, I would have gotten that but another splashing of £40 is way too expensive to me.Milchmonster said:I still got the Euro 2008 shirt (still don't know why I bought that one, ugliest Germany short in a long time :lol), so that was enough for now.

Dunga had always said he'd only stay for 4 years (which means he'd resign after the WC regardless).Tence said:You made that entry yourself didn't you!
As far as I know he resigned after the match, the rest of the staff was then put on non-active by the Brasilian football association.
i also think they should scrap the entire game for the third place.Wellscha said:unlike other "high & mighty" Dutchies, You're honest. You do think that there's a possibility of an upset.
Blablurn said:bought a brandnew bayern shirt before the world cup started. but it has robben on the back. so i was afraid to wear it amongst the germans around here :lol
:lol Why the hate?Thrakier said:You shouldn't be afraid of wearing a bayern shirt. You should be ashamed.
2San said:Paraguay played really close to each other. I don't know how to say it in English, but it's something like keeping the lines close to each other. Which basically means really compact playing. Germany uses the whole field which gives more leeway for bad passes. Spain lacks a winger to force a bigger field, but they don't need that against Germany. The difference between Germany and Paraguay is that the whole Paraguay team defends and doesn't want to go forwards unless there is a counter.

You think we like it? I am so sick and tired of being expected to wear Lederhosen and speak with a funky Bavarian accent. No, I do not drink beer, no, I do not live in Schloß Neuschwanstein, and no, I certainly couldn't give a rats arse about the Oktoberfest. :lolThrakier said:[SNIP]Especially if in foreign countries germany basically equals bayer in terms of image, which is not funny or true at all.
True, true. I'm from Hamburg and I'm not your typical Fischkopp. Although you _do_ hear the accent when I speak, no doubt.

Not again, we've failed 2 times already.Sidenote: I think it's amazing how Krautgaf crawls out of the woodwork in a thread like this. I had no idea we were so numerous. Awesome. Today, neogaf; Tomorrow, the whole world!

SamuraiX- said:So you're basically saying that Spain will have an easier time scoring on Germany? Really?
If Argentina, one of the premier offensive teams in the tournament with their attacking line of Messi, Tevez, and Higuain was shut down, do you really believe that Spain could attempt to do any further damage?
MrSerrels said:I know this isn't directed at me, but Spain are far superior to Argentina.
Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, Alonso, Torres.
I'm saying absolutely that Spain have a better chance. I think Spain will beat Germany.
An upset is quite a possibility. Brazil was supposed to beat Holland with ease, but that didn't happen. The biggest mistake would be to march into the game tomorrow just expecting to win.Wellscha said:unlike other "high & mighty" Dutchies, You're honest. You do think that there's a possibility of an upset.
it's never about locking down Villa - it's controlling tempo by limiting what Xavi and Iniesta can do with the ball. Schweinsteiger needs to have another big game in order for Germany to win (and I think they will).SamuraiX- said:David Villa has been a nice spark for Spain, but other than him the other star players haven't shown up at all this World Cup. Other than Villa, Iniesta has been the only one who has scored a goal for Spain. If Germany is able to lock Villa down the same way they did Messi, Spain will not have a chance. The only thing I believe will be different for Spain is their defensive line won't allow such easy penetration as Argentina allowed, resulting in a loss that'll be less embarrassing than the margin that Argentina lost by.
"Far superior?" Don't kid yourself, man. All you're doing is setting yourself up for heartbreak and disappointment.
