Germany v Australia

[ToxtethBlue]

Well he was born in England. And he plays for England, hence he is English. Not really an argument there mate,

Mario Gomez was born in Germany, Klose is half German and Podolski grew up there, lad.

Yeah most of the England team are Irish to be fair except Hargreaves hes Canadian.

Who else are Irish mate? Half the bloody Irish team were Londoners.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Yep Owen

On hat first half showing Germany are going to have a big say in this tournament tremdous balance right the way through the team and as always that calm, resilance and winning attitude.

Some really world class players - but unusually for them they now have a very special world class talent in Ozil - i watched him the U21 championship last year and he is a class apart - coould be the star of this tournament.

To be fair, id say Austraila and the U.S. as well.

Although there are plenty of Paddy Wallibies and All Blacks.

UIts the same in every country really, most of Frances best players trace their heritage back to Afirca.
