seconds out ..
so the last sixteen, or round two, awaits .. and what will it bring ? bring on the Germans i say !
all these doubters who claim we don't want to play Germany, in my opinion it's often a call from those who only take an interest in football (especially international football) once every four years or so.. then i say this; the Germans aren't very good !! they've hardly set the standard so far (okay neither have England .. but there is more to come) they spent the whole match trying their best not to score against Poland and Costa Rica were swept aside by Ecuador, who i fear would be a potential banana skin in the next round - we'd be massive favorites again, it'd be like the two games we've just seen.. but a game against Germany, in Germany and we'd have a game on our hands, the players might start to show some desire .. lets us know we're in a World Cup ! against Germany i think we'd raise our game, show how we can play .. and wouldn't it just be sweet to knock them out as hosts .. just as long as it didn't go to penalties !
