Like who? Are you going to list players such as Benzema & Zidane who were born & grew up in France?
No problem and thx for the kind words. I'd love to have more of a discussion with you (and the rest of GermanyGAF) about Germany's tactics but as of late I don't have too much time to post on GAF.
I'll try my best to become more active during the rest of WC, though. well put.
You are right, they showed willpower and determination in the end, but it should've been a lot easier. Just like that fucking semi vs Italy.
Calm down, I'm only teasing.

He has 3 names, Ji Dong Wong. Korean.
Son Heung Min, Park ji Sung, Kim Bo Kyung, etc...
Also aren't most of the Algerian team born in France?
Agree, it's a simplistic and pretty silly argument
France would be a great side if Algeria didn't keep stealing their players

I take things like this very seriously.

Just because a player is an immigrant, it doesn't mean they don't hold their new country more fondly then their old. Mo Farah, understandably, would much rather represent the UK than the country he fled as a refugee.
Nah I only smoke those when Arsenal is playing.

This is amazing:
Where did I say they didn't, blimey you do take this stuff seriously. Words in my mouth and all that
The article paints people who are anti foreigners as idiots, something I am completely behind. It shows how many immigrants make up many of the teams we are watching, and thus why a Wilshere "English for the English" attitude is so ridiculous and dated.

The World Cup is enough of a timesink as it is. So don't feel obligated to post, But I always appreciate when discussions arise.

That whole year never happened. No league or cups were played that year as far as I remember.

I once killed a man who defended Diego Costa's choice to play for Spain (I wasn't insinuating anything, I realised after I posted it that it appeared aggressive but I'm tired and couldn't be bothered to edit it.)
I think there's a difference between 10 year old Mo Farah spending formative years in British education and doing all his training here, and Kevin Pietersen spending all his life in South Africa and then choosing to play for us because of his mother.
For instance, I have an Irish father. But I don't believe in such a thing as Irish blood; I don't identify with his country at all. So if I was to play for Ireland because my dad's from there instead of feeling like I'm actually representing my country, that's a bit weird and opportunistic. I don't blame the footballers for doing so, but it's like when the papers used to bring up the prospect of Mikel Arteta playing for us; why?

I have World Cup fatigue
You ghana watch USA vs Portugal?
I have World Cup fatigue
Too early man! You will have plenty of time to rest come the knock out rounds.
I have World Cup fatigue
I had that on Friday and took a break (but ended up watching the second half of Switzerland-France anyway). With my productivity at an all time low, I will have to take another break tomorrow.
Probably not :/
True story:
I have a lil football fatigue since Bayern won the triple in 2013. Seriously. After the defeat in 2012 I was freaking pumped up the year later. Especially with Bayern breakin all records and then beating Dortmund in the final. It was the best football I've ever experienced.
And even though 2013/2014 was certainly not a bad year, I was never as focused on it as for example in 2013. The best example was the DFB Cup Final. Normally I always go crazy before a final. This year I didn't. Felt like I was watching a neutral friendly.
Very strange. I love Bayern <333 But I'm no stressed out about it anymore. The tension is gone.

I can second the World Cup fatigue comments. Yesterday I realized that I don't even remember all the goals of the games I watched. I skipped today's Belgium game but will stay up to support #Klinsi.
I felt / feel the same. I was actually rather excited about the DFB Cup Final but didnt care about the Buli and Bayern's CL exit didnt really faze me. 11/12 and 12/13 were just the perfect storm with everything that played out.

I watch Athletics quite a bit and I find it hard to support people like Tiffany Porter, Shana Cox and Michael Bingham who only represent Great Britain because they are not good enough to compete for USA.

Yep
It was everything and more. The deepest downfall. The highest rise. Oh my, what a ride that was. No matter what happens in the future. We experienced history.Yep
yeah you put it best a few months ago. 2012 doesnt hurt anymore. Without the Chelsea final, Javi, the Pep announcement, Heynckes' retirement, Wembley, the triple never would've happened. You couldn't have scripted it better. It was just an amazing inspirational story all around.
LVG will bring it out of him
LVG will bring it out of him
He'll need to when we go into the new season with no new signings :|
Yep
Agreed. It also made me much more relaxed. This group of players had finally won the most important title and I was simply glad. The last season was more like an epilogue and a diversion.
But for me the DFB-Pokal final actually was like the beginning of a new book/chapter. It rekindled my passion in an unforseen way. I expected a heavy defeat, but when victory came, it was ever so sweet. Maybe the fever will return next season.
EDIT: Just saw the other post. Bla is love.
Don't know how I'll feel come the start of next season.
Champions League football should help light a fire up my arse but it'll be difficult to get pumped up again after slip-gate.
Yep.
Compared to the dross he's sat beside, definitely.
BayernGAF is on fire today. Very well said! I'm already kind of excited about the transfer window, my ready to hitch myself fully to Pep bandwagon and wonder where it'll take us.
If you keep Suarez and get a couple of signings in, could see Liverpool doing well in the CL.
