Group D Discussion - Australia, Germany, Ghana, Serbia

[Tim Southampton Rover]

OH MY GOD. A German has missed a penalty....

Well to be fair, he is Polish

[RibbleValleyRover]

Really poor penalty from Podolski. Have to question why he was taking it after missing a few chances prior to it.

Germany completley dominant this half and have been all game, Serbia hanging on.

[tcj_jones]

Serbian defenders are ###### stupid! Wish Podolski had have scored Not a great penalty.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Quite looking forward to seeing Marko Marin play for Germany. I've seen him quite a few times in the Bundesliga and he's a great player to bring on. Think he was linked with a move to Arsenal a few years back when he played for Borussia Monchendfsfjsdfsdfcdsfasfdsafklsdmfgbdfkgldflfsdfsdgladbach (you know, the team with the long name!).

[tcj_jones]

This ref should never be let near an international tournament again.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Can't see Germany snatching a point now that Ozil is off.

[Tom]

I'm sure the Germany boss pays a guy to sit next to him wearing the same clothes. Both games now his assistant is like his

mini me

[RibbleValleyRover]

Podolski has been frucking @#/?, he should have gone off not Ozil.

[DE.]

Aye, Podolski has been terrible.

Not seen anything from Zigic to suggest we should have signed him when we were linked.

[Tom]

Zigic looks no better than samba up front to me

That sums up the ref he just gave serbia a free kick for no reason be should be sent home tonight

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I cannot wait to hear what the Germany manager thinks about todays referee.

[tcj_jones]

I really hope Serbia don't get through. They've been extremely negative, boring, defensive, shown nothing going forward, and have only got points on the board because of a poor referee.

[RibbleValleyRover]

If they do get through i can't see anyone being afraid of them in the second round.

JHC, Lineker said that the ref gave 11 red cards in 17 games in la liga last season!

[tcj_jones]

In an ideal world, we'd top our group and get Serbia in the next round.

[Exiled_Rover]

Shocking refereeing, but then who cares, it's the Germans!! The Group is wide open now.

[Tom]

Be careful what you say exiled it could now mean we get he Germans in the next round if they come

second

[Inta Beaver]

I'm looking forward to hearing Beckenbaurers comments after that defeat!

[67splitscreen]

That referee should be banned from the FIFA listings permanently, wonder if someone had a word in his ear at half time.

If he had been as consistent with his decisions in the second, the game well have finished as eight a side.

One thing is for sure he wont be getting the final.

[HemelRover]

Ref terrible, but what a great celebration to the Serbian goal. Great scenes!

[dave birch]

The moment of reckoning is nigh for Australia.

Can they do it? Not for me, they can't. Too old, too slow, too fragile.

Hope I'm proved wrong but I can't see where a win is going to come from.

[OJRovers]

Come on Bert!

[Guest Kamy100]

Aussies leading 1-0, another goalkeeper makes a howler.

[philipl]

Good game so far. Disastrous goal- wall ducked out of it and Kingson spilled it straight to Holman with no defenders following in.

[BuckyRover]

I suppose it could be worse, I could be Australian.

[dave birch]

Hard to argue against Kewell's dismissal.
