Looks like Germany will just defend and be b@stards like they normally are. Come on Brazil, where is the bit of class to seperate you from the krauts?

What do you mean they never looked like champions?

Just because they didn't play really attacking football?

They looked just as much like champions as any team i've ever seen. There defensive record was truly amazing, and they never really struggled in any match.

Too good. They are like a machine.

Sad german won no fair! just got back from the game what was with marta today she played like she did against Arsenal in the UEFA cup someone needs to offer brazil some defensive coaching cause thats what let them down today they dont seem to be able to win the ball back Laughing
ahh well i came all this way to see the germans win oh how fun Crying or Very sad

and side note the norway game they so didnt deserve to lose 4-1 all the USA goals were just pure luck with re-bounds and everything shocking norway pass the ball really well such a shame they didn't get anything out of the game


ooo and number 7 for germany i have christened the new Aluko how many chances did she miss

All of the USA goals were soft.

Anyway, at least you got to go to Shanghai, which is a phenomenal city according to what i've seen and read.

So do lot like Prinz? Is she one of the greatest ever female players?

They just never looked that good to me. England should have beaten them.
I know, the most attractive playing team didnt win, and the most robust/machine-like team won. Way it goes.

Maybe you're being a little harsh on her. She scored 5 goals in the world cup, including in the final. Surely she is better than average!!!!

Sticky T, she looks as good as she does because of the team she has around her. She and C. Sinclair (Canada) are probably the best infront of the net, but she can't create something out of nothing as often as a Marta or a Kelly Smith. If Kelly Smith had someone like a K. Lilly on her team, she would be insane, way better than Prinz could even fathom.

Why do some people think Prinz was one of the stars of the tournament then?

Anyway, how old is she? I'm assuming when she was younger she was better at creating things for herself, but has lost some pace since then. Am i right?

don't get me wrong i think she is a good player but as said before she doesn't create much in front of the goal herself might be her pace who knows but i would prefer someone like marta or smith they are far more creative and marta was voted the best player at the tournament with most goals and the other thing she won

did anyone see how long those presentations were they went on for ages didnt know what half those trophies were even for Laughing

In all the time you have spent there you should have learnt Chinese, then you'd know Wink Laughing
And, if they didn't announce in Chinese, you can always tell me to shut up Laughing
