what a shame. I wasn't able to watch our last friendly because I had to work but my sister texted me and I couldn't believe it. I feel horrible for him. He was in such good shape and could have just made the difference not only for our team but for himself and establish himself as one of the world's best even further.
Someone from England told me the mood is not very optimistic about their chances. How's it in Germany about your team?
we are a really critical audience and we never are optimistic about anything. If we tie or play bad everyone is all like "oh how disappointing the boys wont even make it past the group stage". i personally do believe (like the experts here= that we have the best team ever. or at least the best team since 2002 and it would be so so so disappointing to not do well. I think secretly everyone is expecting at least the semi-finale but I think people now want the title. It's all or nothing really because we have placed 2nd and 3rd so many times now there is really nothing special about it anymore. I think that if we do win Löw will stay another 2 years but if we don't he is out. I also believe it will be the last WC for many of the golden generation boys like Schweini, Poldi, Lahm and Mertesacker.
I heard Belgium is supposed to have a pretty strong team? Did you guys hear anything about htem?
