I disagree, that rule doesn't apply when playing Belgium

(That saying we drew to Montenegro)

Tomorrow it's the last fixture of our European Chamionship campaign, against Germany IF Belgium wins, we'll end 2nd, after Germany who have won all of their matches so far :/ Amazing stuff, 27/27 for them, shit. If we end up 2nd of our group, we still have a chance to go to the Euro 2012, by beating another 2nd place country.
It's going to be so tense and especially hard, we have a chance against Germany, but it's very small IMHO. I mean, Germany is a top 3 country for me atm, my prediction for the Euro 2012 is between Spain, Germany and maybe the Netherlands. Those 3 are also the best countries in the world atm, no other team comes close to those 2/3 IMHO.
I've looked it up, and it's been over 100 years (!!!) since we've won a game against Germany, in Germany Depressing..... I hope we write history tomorrow, come on!

Well Germanys chances to lose increase everytime they win.

Apparently Germany will write history if they win the match against Belgium, it would be the first team any German national team gets a perfect result in the qualifying rounds of a European Championship (30/30).
So Germany definitely have something to fight for, as they've said multiple times in the press, they want that tenth win. We won't get any presents
I doubt Germany will lose actually, I'm definitely rooting for it, but my rational mind says we'll lose.....

Hold your horses man, we weren't that bad in this campaign! I'll even tell you right now, we'll be in the World Cup 2014 for sure! I have confidence in the team now, I think they have finally learnt how to win a match, even when you're playing bad.

I love watching smaller teams do well against the large international teams (even if it's England) just because it's good for football as a game
so I would love to see Belgium beat Germany

If you check FIFA, sure. In RL, nope, not much left of that FIFA team.....
We lost, 3-1. Very very disappointed atm. We got owned by Özil, such a smart player. First goal was a very nice shot of Özil after a corner, just outside the box, excellent shot. 4 minutes later a trademark Germany goal, the best counterteam in the world. No other team in the world is better in countering than Germany, the pace and perfect passes are amazing.
So yeah, 2-0 first half, Belgium started quite good and they were actually better than Germany in some moments, but the matureness and pure class of Germany was just too much to handle. Few minutes in the 2nd half, 3-0.

Then in the last minutes Fellaini made the 3-1, we deserved more, but just lost rightfully, to a much better team.
Hopefully Spain can teach Germany a lesson again this Euro Championship, they are the only ones, next to maybe the Netherlands, that can stop them.

The Netherlands have a really strong offense but I'm not so sure about defense, they have some good players in defense but they aren't good enough to cope with Germany+spain

Nah we can beat 'm, we just sucked in the final last time...
We're not doing very good now eiter, 1:1 still. Kinda embarrassing.

Of course you can beat them, but the odds are still in favour of Spain/Germany IMHO. Although if that Robben 1on1 went in, you could have been World Champions. You didn't suck, you put up the best performance you could against the best team the world has seen in the last 6 years. You played dirty, but that's to be expected when you hardly get the ball. It's always like that when teams play against Barcelona or Spain, they hardly get the ball and thus get frustrated. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Liverpool being utter dicks and wanting to make the league even less competitive than it already is. Yeah, let's take the worst aspect of the Spanish game and incorporate it here.

gay.... it will make it near impossible for clubs outside the top 6 to compete just like La Liga

Are NCFC still unbeaten?

NUFC are still unbeaten. We've got a tough game against Spurs on Sunday but we're a bit of a bogey team for them.

Argentina have sloppy defense... I dont know why but Aguero, Tevez, Messi, Higuain, Pastore, Di Maria all amazing attack minded players dont click together.. if the do, you need a manager that can make them link up well and you have World Cup contenders right there.I would suggest:

Higuain-Aguero​

Messi​

Di Maria-Pastore-Banega​

Demichelis-Burdisso-Mascherano-Zabeleta​

Romero​

Argentina need somebody creative behind Messi and thats Pastor, MEssi in the hole would let him drift into the midfield and up to strike.The Aguero+Higuain is much better than Tevez+Aguero and Di Maria will give you some width, Di Maria, Pastore and Banega all can play defense splitting passes but they are greedy so many times, need to fix that.Mascherano is a world class CB at Barcelona and can do it for Argentina too, Burdisso is good I guess and Zabeleta can play almost anywhere on the field.Romero needs to improving his composure to hold the ball tight and not let it slip.His reactions are slow at times too.What Argentina need, 1 world class CB to come up from youth and a better GK.

Notts County? Norwich City?

NUFC VS Spurs will be good

Wonder what celebrated socialist Bill Shankly would think of Liverpool's moaning about equal distribution of TV money?

 

[emigre]

What makes me laugh about the Liverpool TV deal thing is how if it did bear fruit. Man United would get much, more money and completely dominate them. Ah well it just justifies my loathing of Liverpool.

 

[alidsl]

Nobody likes liverpool so they won't get much out of the deal, it will just make the premier league more unfair, also there is no way 14 of the prem clubs will vote for this

 

[Tanas]

The complete lack knowledge or maybe its just ant-bias from the two previous posters is beyond words.
