Germany rebuilt just a few years ago.

Spain also has a great youth system; their U20 team that played here 3 years ago was very good. Same with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, etc.

Problem with Italy and England is imports. Inter won the Champions League with no Italians in the starting eleven. Other teams like Chelsea lack Brits, and those that play just fill in the gaps.

These countries need to put limits on imports and develop local players past the youth stage.

That first half produced two of the nicest goals of the competition thus far. Van brockhorst's strike sent shivers down my spine. Simply amazing. The movement on forlans shot was incredible.

Forlan doesn't seem to be having any issues with the new ball

Excellent.

That was really a nailbiter though… the ref really didn't want to end the game.

Got that right. Forlan raised the play of his team. Too bad Suarez was red-carded out of their final game.

if it wasn't for that red card they would not of been in the semis.
Ghana would of scored and it would of been bye bye Uraguay.
it was a good game yesterday .. the last 2 minutes were tight … it's weird with the 'discretion' of the ref and the extra 1:49 added on to the 3 minutes of extra time though

tomorrows game is going to be AWESOME, and the winner of that will go on to win the finals IMO.

I don't speak German, does that mean "Germany will loose"?

To Spain that is…:evil:

No, in plain English it is "I am a tasteless douchebag!"

It's part of the national anthem, no?

What's the translation of Deutsch?
