Support NeoGAF

[Linius]

Well the video itself is from three weeks ago.

It wasn't meant to display that they are up to date, just that they at least know there team isn't in the running.

I was just making fun mate, your point is very clear. The NK video is clearly fake

 

[KHlover]

I just hope the Deutsch don't crash and burn. They always did so well at the start last few times just to fall apart in the knockout rounds

Either way... GO GERMANY. I've been supporting them for a fair few years just wanna see them win something.

Spoiler

I'm not German.

That makes me so happy this year: We already choked our two times (Ghana and Algeria) and really turned up the heat during semis. The last few years we blasted through RO16/RO8 and choked in the semis. That's a sign

*knocks on wood*

we will take it this year, for Klose ;-;

 

[eddfromtheriver]

results of the final: 0-0, argentina wins on penalties. football saved.

HEEEEEEELL NOOOOOOOO!!!

I'd hate that with all my guts, Germany wins 3-0

 

[Roland1979]

Along with this video of North Koreans gathering to watch the games, and commenting that they know they are not part of them.

http://youtu.be/yPyHoDcwbzE?t=37s
Look how the police officer is keeping a eye on him. Of course you could say that's a coincidence, but why are they sitting among the crowd? It's not to be jolly. If it where normal professional they where standing on the side keeping a eye on things.

You mean we know at least some are. We don't know if the people at home behinds tv's kow that. Maybe a big part is and another isn't? Who knows.
Also the ending confirms some footage at some station has been tempered with.

That is not even funny to me, soooo dang pitiful...

 

[RoySFNR]

By the way Netherlands beat Brazil who wanted to prove the previous score was a fluke and the way Germany beat Brazil that only tells you that the final will be very close . Combine that with the fact that both teams had very close group games tells you Argentina might win this too. They are not on a whole new level due to one game where if the defense was barely competent they would have one 3-1 not 7-1 looking at the 4 Brazil allowed in 10 minutes

Germany is in control of possession in pretty much every match they play. Their display against France was really scary considering France performed well up to then but failed to create a single chance while Germany could have had two goals more through Schurrle (or however you spell that dude's name).

I agree Argentina does stand a chance, but only if Messi actually turns up. He was completely absent against Netherlands and the Germans give away far less opportunities. It doesn't help that Muller is the perfect example of a big game player.

On the Pierre topic: Persie isn't only angry because of the freekick back then. PvH has been hating on Robin at every single tournament so far and feels the need to continue to state his preferance of Huntelaar despite Robin being our top goalscorer in both the qualifying stage as well as the finals. Pierre has a quite the reputation as a rather unpleasant fellow. He also had feuds with de Guzman, Huub Stevens, Leonardo and the Dutch black community among others.

 

[krYlon]

They. The level of control is beyond insane. Here you can become a reporter and see for yourself. There they will pick select people for select news. Doesn't mean news isn't manipulated or selective here.


Thanks. And i don't believe everything i see or read (i know it's a saying, otherwise that would be insulting). I just din't discard it right away. It's a parody for a reason.

And anyone trying to compare Western media with that from NK needs to get a reality check.

Yeah, I didn't mean to be patronising, I just feel like it doesn't help when we in the west are willing to believe so much of this ridiculous stuff.

Not sure about this, i think the dutch defense is better than the germans one.

 

[artist]

This is simply untrue because of one fact; Neuer.

 

[feel]

Holy shit I missed this live. Wow.

 

[Roland1979]

I think most people don't have a problem with Korea, the country (NK), but with the regime. And not because it's communistic, but because it has been confirmed so many times what they do to their own people. They have concentration camps where you wish death will come. And the amount we know of is very high, far more then Hitler had for instance. And we know there are many hidden or secret ones. I think people get angry because of what is being done, on such a huge scale, for so long. And the world is watching.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

This is simply untrue because of one fact; Neuer.

Im still smh at Van Gaals mistake in the last game -_-

 

[z1ggy]

This is simply untrue because of one fact; Neuer.

But we are talking about opportunities, which leads to some open space in the back.

It's what you call Gerrard-esque

 

[RoySFNR]

Not sure about this, i think the dutch defense is better than the germans one.

Mostly because of the draw. Chile and Mexico employed idiotic tactics by going for crosses against a relatively big defense while Costa Rica didn't even bother to attack most of the game. The weakness of our defense was made clear by First-Half-Spain and Australia because they actually used their midfield. Germany has a larger amount of control over the midfield which relieves some of the work for the defenseline. They also have Neuer, lol.

 

[-MB-]

Whenever I see PVH on tv now, I can't stop thinking he has had a facelift or done some cosmetic surgery around his eyes. He looks "off" to me.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

I hope so, especially for him.

*knocks on wood, crosses fingers and does all other shit to ward off ill luck*

I will be rooting for Germany while showcasing a nonchalant attitude (while secretly screaming on the inside)

The must win. Podolski told his son he won't be back without the trophy.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Really happen for Robben having a great tournament.

Hope he brings all of that hunger to Munich in a couple months!

 

[Linius]

Well I guess we'll be seeing Podolski looking for a house in Brazil soon enough then. Will be tough to stay at Arsenal though.

 

[Hrothgar]

Yeah, I was cringing pretty hard when he started bashing PVH. He's the captain for crying out loud, he should act more professional than that. You don't say shit like that on national TV.

Everyone knows Robben was the real captain.

You best learn Dutch mate.

Spoiler

It's been like an hour since the interview. Maybe tomorrow?

I'll call it a night. Maybe some super kind Dutchie in here can translate everything from that video. Or not.

 

[SkylineRKR]

He said PVH is shitting on him since day one, always looking for opportunities to to so. The gestures were aimed at those critics.

Then Jack, the interviewer says 'Pierre denies this is the case', on which RVP says 'yeah nice story' and continues his rambling by saying PVH shouldn't be in front of an audience of millions, no one is waiting for him anymore, hes past it and he should go home and be a family man. And play Golf or something. In any case he should gtfo.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Anybody else ready to see messi cry tears of sadness tomorrow?

The best part is Robben just casually walking there and somehow still being completely open.

 

[artist]

Anyone have a GIF of another mind blowing save Robben did, even the comm was shocked that Robben was able to keep the ball in play and not let it go out of bounds .. I was like, wtf, need a replay of that which we never got.

 

[Kos Luftar]

I'm ready! Putting all my German shirts and hats on. Looking forward to a 4-0 for the Germans.

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

At some points it was borderline wrestling with him and Brazilians.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Only tears of joy for the GOAT.

If by GOAT you mean Muller. Then yes, he will be very joyful.

 

[Toxi]

Tears of sadness that this will be the only world cup he wins before he retires. :*(

I remember what you are talking about.
If someone remembers a time, the CBC site has the entire match up and is convenient to skip through.

Come on now, everyone knows it's just a popularity contest

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Golden Boots for Messi = 0
Golden Boots for Muller = 1

Thanks for the translation. He doesn't look like he's having a meltdown while saying the above lol, he seems pretty calm in the interview.

The ref called a foul in that play?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Wow, the current Google doodle is great.

edit:

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Wow, the current Google doodle (Brazil and Netherlands packing their bags for Russia) is great.

No guarantee either will qualify for Russia though.

 

[Tristam]

Congrats, Netherlands. Much more beautiful play than in 2010. Bronze medals well-deserved.

I do think Germany will win tomorrow unless there's a Messi masterclass, and I do love seeing Messi masterclasses.

 

[Hrothgar]

Yes...
