All injured* :rose:




*probably.

ITV :(

My Mortgage meeting is still scheduled during this game. That sucks.

Ozil and BFG start.

Pods on the bench.

No real striker for Germany, nor any decent wide players. Might be tough to break down Portugal's defence.

Neuer, Boateng, Mertesacker, Hummels, Howedes, Lahm, Khedira, Kroos, Ozil, Gotze, Muller.

FF points needed please Muller

ITV still haven't replaced the glass in the studio :lol: Either that or they get attacked every day.....

Wrighty :doh: Who left BBC because "he didn't want to be a court jester"....

What's Drury doing back here?

"Iconic goal". He's still got it....

Bah..still went in off the post didn't it?;)

"In truth it was a little confusing". NO IT FUCKING WASN'T :haha: Commentary :rose:

"The sign comes up saying 'No Goal' so everybody thinks that it isn't" - Those of us with a cerebellum are not included in that, Dixon.

PV v Cannavaro :popcorn:

No, in fairness it's understandable why people were initially confused. The whole idea of the system is to give instant feedback on whether the ball crossed the line or not. So when the first thing that pops up is NO GOAL, that's not ideal. They should have highlighted the second incident where the ball actually crossed the line. The purpose of the system is not to determine who scored, only whether the ball has crossed the line resulting in a goal. I think the operator tried to be too helpful and fucked it up.

However, it's certainly not understandable if people are confused a day later.

Come on Fritz! Blitz the metrosexual twat.

I think the technology is 'triggered' whenever the ball is anywhere near the line. The two passages of play would have constituted that, so the replays probably kicked in automatically and with the appropriate 'No Goal'/'Goal' legends. As I said in the thread - the first replay clearly showed the ball hitting the post - the second replay was always going to follow.

Almeida lol

Vanishing line spray is better anyway.

Does Almeida know it's not Movember?

Perfume Boy :haha: Miles over the bar.

Cool GK - should be fun watching him.

Khedira has to hit the target!

:haha:

MULLER!!!

Referee! An early bath!

No red :haha:

GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL! Germany!

Points :D

Ozil's backheel flick in the build up

Goetze is a bit of a Nasri if you ask me.

Still not sure how Portugal don't have anything else outside of Almeida and Postiga up front. :lol:

Pauleta. :bow:

Özil should have got to that over hit cross - useless.
