WORLD CUP FINAL!! Germany v Argentina 8pm Sunday 13th

Cienciano

Sounds like Dunphy and Giles wanted the Argies to win
Brady is the only one that doesn't begrudge the germans the win

Muahahaha

Gilles saying messi was tired, feck off john, he's a professional athlete, you don't get tired by playing for 90 minutes every 4 days, it's nauseating the excuses that get trotted out for footballers

What was it then ? He had a terrible second half, kept giving the ball away which is uncharacteristic

That_Guy

Can we get to the most important bit. Giving Bill his send off. Okie doke.

Frankie Lee

Even though I win a sweepstake thing with Germany winning I'm not happy with Gotze scoring the winning goal. I can't forgive him his move to Bayern.

jonneymendoza

yes get in germany. i had them backed to win the World cup before it even started,

Why?

Because this is a team that has been built from the ground up 10+ years ago.

All of these players have grown together for long long. Happy for them

This is how you build a world champion team

Özil was tripe tonight and was really poor this tournament.

He was good for the first half. Faded out then but so did everyone really.

And that he played tonnes and tonnes of games in the season. He played 46, only three more than Schurrle and less than probably most of the German squad.

I am also hearing he wasn't fit for the WC, and hearing it for the first time. Funny that.

Nothing against Messi he IS one of the best ever, but this is what I was talking about before the match about excuses being made for him and kiddie gloves being used on him, whereas others get held to a far higher standard. The same for his indifference late in the match, that awful free kick at the end, and literally walking away from the team talk at half time of extra time. There a re a number of players who would get absolutely slated for that since "you would never see Messi doing that!" and yet when he does, it gets completely glossed over and ignored.

Bill going wild.

Going for goal, was retarded with that free kick, especially who he was up against between the sticks.

Nuri Sahin

The Traitor got MOTM, not surprising (though I thought it was awarded for 90 minutes?! o_0), harsh on Boetang. Stunning performance from him.

Billy86

Good man Bill!

Eamon Dunphy the dirk kuyt of RTE

Brady is right, must be hard for the player's who missed chances.. They will surely be haunted by the miss for the rest of their lives.... I remember I hit the crossbar with an overhead bicycle kick against Nurney United in the Tommy Lumsden Cup Quarter Final, and I couldnt sleep for a month.

How can he be tired when he doesn't run anymore?

His lack of fight these days is very unlike him.

It was glaringly obvious during the game,time after time German players walked past him with the ball and not once did he even try to close them down.
His reputation seems to prevent any of his team mates roaring at him.

Look at that pen action from Bill, different class.

He's certainly acting like it's his last night.

Giles: Can we see the Palacio chance?

Bill: LOL I dunno

murpho999

Somebody should really take that pen off Bill.

vetinari

Deserved by Germany, played the best football all tournament.

Iused2likebusts

Atleast we got knocked out by the winners

Expect a call from the LLS researchers. CH!

His petulance isn't as open as Ronaldo but it's there for all to see if you look closely

It's so easy for armchair fans to make such a rash post.

Its about knowing not to take a stupid shot on like that, not whether you have a realistic chance of scoring it. He should have known it was ball in to the box time.

AllGunsBlazing

Looking forward - the Euros in France should be a good'un as well.

That's bulls*it. Fan vote for the final still? Boateng robbed of the final MOTM.

Cienciano

Bill keeps saying "they said it couldn't be done" about Europe winning in South America.
No one said that Bill!

frisbeeface

Eamonn spoofing about Ireland. We would have been disgraced at the World Cup.

Hercule Poirot

Draxler's missus :O

ollaetta

Slightly off topic but only 12 weeks til Germany v ROI in the Euros. Hopefully they will still be celebrating!

Is that looms band(or whatever they are called) in the leeds utd colours that giles is wearing:D

WAGs of German team on now. Neuer's is quite tasty.
I suppose RTE have cut away to the studio now.

keith16

Eamo is deluded....sadly.

Ronan|Raven

So so happy right now. Trying to call the family in Germany, of course no answer..!

Was that why they decided to cease to exist?

Cienciano

Dunphy talking shíte as usual. Ireland could have got to the semis.

EuropeanSon

Don't get this anti-Ozil tripe at all. He's created two clear cut chances tonight, and more chances than any other German player at the world cup. What do people want?

Nuri Sahin

Draxler doesn't even know her, he just wants to get laid :pac:

Guy:Incognito

Youd think theyd just give the Argies their medals and let them get out of there. They have them standing around the last 10 minutes.

Dunphy reckons we would have had a chance in this tournament.

Does he realise we would have being playing in the place of either Germany or Portugal if we did qualify?

CountyHurler

I'm sorry Eamo, but we just dont have the players at this particular moment in time..

None of the above contradict my opinion that that was a terrible free kick. He hoofed it into the crowd. If Messi is to be held up as this all time great, this was a moment to do something, at least hit the target or put in a cross.

It was a poor free kick, there is no excuse.
