Van Markiwjk has instilled championship mentality in the team though.
they know win, no matter what.
the only team to win all their qualifying games + all their wc games so far.
w.e his tactics are, they are working for a team known as great underachievers

they're doin all this during the time that most big name teams are doing poorly...i see this as a transition period...its no longer a game where big names dominate, most teams are becoming competitive so its gonna be interesting

paul the octopus will make his prediction in a few hours. some germans have said they want to eat him now that he predicted spain to win against their team. also, a spanish restaurant has taken octopus out of its menu in honor of paul. a lot of stories are coming up relating this.

since im not superstitious and dont believe in this bullshit, i think its all just luck or a hoax. he also predicted the outcomes of euro 2008, but got most of them wrong.

good spot. I checked on wikipedai and you are correct, they lost to east germany in their third group game.

Maybe i misheard the comentator or pundit who said it or maybe they mentioned specifically that it was the FIRST game like said previously^^^ OR they considered it as the same country really lol.

What Gary Linekar & Co. said, is that no team has lost the FIRST group game, and won the World Cup..

I just noticed something. For the first time in 52 years we have a new champion that is NOT winning the WC on its own soil. Thats amazing! again shows how predictable most world cups are and how out of the ordinary this one is
