    Yeah not totally. He didn't get as much leeway as De Gea and he played quite well for the majority of the games he played. He made a mistake in the UCL and that was big. It wasn't a Taibbi but still it didn't help. To say he washed out is quite misleading. He had a fantastic first season at OT. The mistake vs Porto was his undoing but if you want to talk about United goalkeepers that washed out then I'd refer you to Barthez, Bosnich, Ricardo and Taibbi just for starters.

    Huh? You might have comprehension issues.

    You wrote that the Brazil vs Colombia matchup was basically "Neymar vs James" and some part "Oscar vs Cuadrado".
    I THEN ASKED you..what about Brazil's strikers vs Colombia's strikers(and then I stated that edge would go to Colombia). Not sure how that was "derailing it" when you were talking about possible factors in the match. I'm pretty sure I wasn't talking about German strikers in a discussion about Brazil vs Colombia so not quite sure what your deal is.:confused:

    For someone talking quite a bit about "defensive attitudes" you seem to be on one yourself chief.:grin::grin::grin: Lol in the post I wrote in response I never implied nor assumed you were belittling Colombian strikers. I pointed out how I felt they'd play a part in the match and be more effective than their Brazilian counterparts. (Reading slowly is the first part of the battle, it's ok.)

    Keep telling yourself you're not wrong if that makes you feel better. At this point you seem a bit riled up and need to calm the heck down and have a seat somewhere. I have zero interest in arguing with you over a post that didn't involve you! If there's no "argumentation" to be had here then why the heck are you persisting with a ridiculous argument that, let me state again- Does.Not. Involve.You???
    You responded to a post that wasn't even directed at you and yet you want to keep at it. Who is making a fuss out of nothing at the moment?
    Mate, if a post was directed at someone else and not at you, why are you getting your panties in a bunch and getting all riled up when IT DOESNT INVOLVE YOU?

    If there's nothing else then child keep it moving. :grin::grin::grin:

    FIFA Castrol Index has David Luiz as the World Cup's best player. Lol, that's kinda funny.

    Castrol Index Best 11
    Claudio Bravo
    David Luiz
    Johan Djorou
    David Luiz
    Jan Vertonghen
    James Rodriguez
    Ivan Perisic
    Phillip Lahm
    Angel Di Maria
    Karim Benzema
    Arjen Robben

    I only cite it because Claudio Bravo is selected top goalkeeper. :) In a World Cup where Ochoa, Navas, Howard, Romero, and Cesar are getting praise, it's nice to seem my captain get some as well.

    I don't think they will feel too well when playing France. I am a bit biased towards France I admit but I see it as a bad match for Germany unless there have been some serious strategy changes.

    Klose starting today, hope this gives us some punch for the offense.
    Lahm finally starting at right back, but don't get why Höwedes is still playing as LB after his horrible performances. Central back duo Hummels&Boateng is nice.

    I don't know who to root for. I don't like the French that much.
    Go Germany?
