[QUOTE="ninthcouncil, post: 242793, member: 2566"] It's a good thing the Brazilians won - can you imagine the whingeing here in England if the Germans had done it....! Seriously, though, apologies are in order, as the German team, widely badmouthed by all and sundry (including me) gave a good account of themselves, especially some previously little-known players like Frings and Metzelder. We'll forgive Frings his handball against USA - the ball was over the line anyway :rolleyes: Great to see Ronaldo back on top, even if he is only operating at 80% - after the nightmare last four years, he must be happy to be playing at all. Rivaldo, as is often the case, did nothing for most of the game, but what he did counted. Cafu and Roberto Carlos were notably well looked after by the German wing backs, but Kleberson, previously overshadowed by the big names, had an excellent game. Perhaps Oliver Kahn and David Seaman can set up a mutual support organisation for traumatised goalkeepers, with Peter Bonetti as honorary president? [/QUOTE]
