    Who claims the oggy? The guy who headed the ball or the guy who it hit on the back?

      Klose, Poldi, Gomez, Kiessling, Cacau.. wtf? Every single one of these strikers, in decent form, kicks in some 15+ goals in a vastly underrated Bundesliga. Hell, 3 of them scored yesterday.

      That Ozil guy I didn't even know, but he was brilliant. That Marin is a threat on the wing.

      As far as Australia goes, I think they're being counted out. Too old, no rhythm. Serbia and Ghana seem to be more versatile, those 2 are also a more difficult horde for Germany.
      i was surprised too because Germany has not the biggest reputation for playing beautiful football and is more known for it's physical and methodological skills on the field. i wish they could keep up this performance but it will be hard against the Serbians.

      Germany 2 - 1 Serbia

        I'd say the guy it hit on the back.

          I thought the Slovenia v Algeria match was the worst I've seen.

          The current match between Holland v Denmark tops it.
          Diretripe.

            Total football, eh?

            Looking forward to watching the Italians, myself.

              If the same rules apply as for deflected shots, then the guy who hits it claims it if the shot was 'on target' before the deflection. In this case, as the defenders header wasn't 'on target' it'll probably be given to the defender it deflected off.

                Same here, they're always my second team in international tournaments. Hoping Marchisio has a good game.

                  Agreed, yet nothing being made of it on TV because of it being a big team.

                    Yeah strangely I fancy them this time.

                    Well I commented on anyone moaning about the world cup being poor after the first 4-5 matches. Well moan away lads! It doesn't appear to be improving

                      I'm happy with this result. You see, if we display gallery play right off the bat, overconfidence will kill us anyway. You have to win bad games, and this was such a game. We played bad, but defense was very tight and a 2-0 is a good result against Denmark. I also think they were the hardest opponent in this group.

                      We'll stay in the underdog role for now, for that I'm happy. Let Germany have the spot lights and think they'll win it all.

                      With some minor changes, we can do far better. I hope that the coach takes either Sneijder or VdV off, and places Elia on the left. He's unknown to the public, but extremely talented. Robben can always be used when the time is right (ie. QF if we make that).

                      Didn't enjoy it.. but 3 points.

                          Wow, the Japan Cameroon game's stadium is barely half full! Quite embarrassing for FIFA I reckon.

                            its not just us here, F365 mailbox is full of the same complaints lots of us have had here about tournament so far.

                            my memory recalls Germany 2006 started really well in terms of footy & goals then tailed off significantly from the last round of group games onward, lets hope this is the other way round as its been dire fare to date

                            only 2 games where both teams scored so far and they both ended draws, no scoring losers yet.

                              They were talking about the possibility of half empty stadiums in WSC the other month. The problem seems to have been that a lot of tickets were reserved for corporate hospitality packages for the big multi-nationals like Coke and McDonalds. But they've not taken them up due to the 'recession'.

                                That'll learn 'em not to put so many tickets aside for the corporates while shafting the normal fan. Actually it won't, but it should

                                How's the Japan vs Cameroon match going so far? Not watching this one, trying to get some work done for a change!
