World Cup 2006: Round of 16 - Germany v Sweden, discussion thread

[Anarcho-Socialist]

Kicking-off on the hour.

The Germans are favourites, but the Swedes know how to score goals against strong defences.

1. That should be

a comfortable win for Germany. They will dominate and miss some good chances. A 2-0 or 2-1 win for Germany.

[ps1074]

21. Just as I predsicted

An easy win with Germany scoring 2 goals and then relaxing and Sweden with a chance for a goal (missed penalty by Larson).

My prediction for the next game is Argentina by 2 goals. Either 2-0 or 3-1. All goals coming in the second half.

2. GOAL Germany!! Podolski 4'

Beats 'keeper on the rebound

[CatholicEdHead]

3. 1-0 Germany

[Anarcho-Socialist]

4. GOAL Germany!! Podolski 12'

Strike in 18-yard box.

5. Germany is my pick to win it

Home field advantage puts them over the top.

[CatholicEdHead]

6. Total dominance by Germany now

Shot after shot towards Sweden's goal. Eventually more will go in if this keeps up and we are only 18min in.

7. Jeez...are the Swedes running in quicksand?

Wow...

[CatholicEdHead]

8. One red card for the Swedes

You cannot argue with the offical after getting a yellow.

[GOPisEvil]

10. That was his second yellow...

...and kind of a lame call. Foul, yes, card, no.

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Thanks, I missed the first one

Posting on DU and trying to watch you miss things.

[GOPisEvil]

9. It just gets worse for the Swedes. A player sent off...

Shitty call too... Although, if I were Lucic, I'd be happy I didn't have to watch this match.

[billyskank]

12. I'm so glad we didn't have to play them yet

:D

[Anarcho-Socialist]

14. I agree!

I'm thankful that England didn't get beat by Sweden.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. I have my Deutschland jersey on and I'm lovin' every minute of it

Cue bad German techno...TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION

[Anarcho-Socialist]

15. Sweden are fortunate to be 2-0 down

It could have been 5-0. Wow, if Germany play like this then they will be strong opposition for Argentina in the quarter finals.

[kryckis]

16. The referee..

..smiling as he sent the Swedish player off? WTF was that?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

17. Penalty Sweden, Larsson brought down in the box

Debatable though

[Anarcho-Socialist]

18. Larsson misses penalty 53'

Ball goes into orbit above the Earth.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

19. Sweden 'keeper pushes Ballack strike onto post. 55'

Close one.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

20. Germany 2-0 Sweden (Final score)

Germany were totally dominate, but Sweden deserve credit for not being humiliated in the second half to the credit for their goalkeeper.

22. Deutschland Deutschland uber alles
