World Football Thread IX - Weltmeisterschaft Ausgabe

These recent-ish WC winners you list are not rivals.
Argentina and Brazil are no rivals?
Because they played no WorldCup final? But you ignorant englihsmen have heard of Copa America? Or is this contest ignored by your folks since falkland isles are not allowed to participate? (I almost mentioned a war in the context of football. How funny is that? )
By rivalry, I'm talking about the likes of Milan v Inter, Arsenal v Spurs, Liverpool v Man Utd, Real Madrid v Barca, Rangers v Celtic.
Your non-english examples have in common that both parties were successful in the past. Regarding England you just remind me
, and England have countless penalty shootout nightmares.
that your squad extremely sucks at penalty kicking. When you have lack of basic skills and you never made it in the final the last decades....its not rivalry. It is envy and bitterness.
I can't say how much we would wish success IF the cocky comments would stop then. So please learn some penalty shooting IF the semi-funny WW2 comparisons are no longer used by dumb english fans (who might even think that there are a significant number of germans wishing a different WW2 outcome) or even english media.
Same with England & Argentina - Supercheat Maradonna punches the ball into the net, (and uses cocaine to raise his performance). For this, we remember them forever, and this is what rivalry is.
The cheat didnt matter, you would have lost anyway. Argentina was simply the better team. Get over it. And btw I heavily dislike the hypocrite "fair" Englishmen who celebrate fouls against Germans.
France and Brazil are not rivals. Period.
There is no envy since Brazil has won the cup so often they dont give a **** that they lost in 98. Similarly, the Germans dont really care that they lost 88 against the Dutch or 92 against Denmark. Most of my friends actually supported Denmark since Berti Vogts was pretty unpopular here in Germany.
but the vast majority of English fans are not seriously expecting anything better than the usual QF knockout on penalties.
Saw one pre-tourney poll (daily mail or so). England 40percent. Brazil just 23 percent. Great kind of humour. Now that I know you dont vote seriously.

Well, anyway, I had forgotten how much the bitterness of english fans make football forums pretty much unreadable (I only lurk in football forums every 4 years, for obvious reasons)
Word.
------------------
Trying to reason with the English about football is impossible, don't even bother to try. They're also absolutely convinced just about everyone in the world is a bunch of cheats and divers except them.
Heh. Prolly true. Better just watch football. I go to the fanfest now...strangest dialog today when I came from work (she was from south america or so): Are you german? (Me: yes.) Do you want to buy a gold ring?
--------------
They also have a very slight tendency to overrate themselves and every individual English player.
Slight?

Goals are not what football is about.
It's not?
Then why have goalie or a net?
That way you guys can watch guys kicking the ball to each other for 90 minutes and not worry about those annoying goals.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
