    It wasnt the only wc over there haha. European only good if wc in europe, there has never been an exception, looks like this time neither
    Only 2010but south Africa seemed different haha
    But on the other hand brasil is the only team from over there winning in europe 1958,so for them here difficult too

    There hasn't been a winner from Europe but in the modern era there has always been a European in the final (apart from once maybe?).....which means they were only beaten by one S. American team. Its not really a picture of domination imo. And its not like there have been many held in S America either.

    Why Mr. Manager of Bosnia/Herzegovia, WHY did you not start Vedad Ibišević ?!?! (I am wholly biased, and Dzeko is awesome and all.. but I've followed Ibišević his whole career) The refs aren't helping either.

    Its not only winners that count if folks are blaming the weather. 5 tournies, 3 different S. American winners and 4 European finalists.Holland came within a goalpost width and Germany close too - to close for there to be any reason other than just being beaten by the team or by things other than weather imo. I'm just saying - just because they won doesn't mean they didn't do it by being the better team or most currupt regime etc, no need for us over here to look for climatic excuses.

    Of course but u can see by observing these teams from over there they handle it quiet easy, its like if teams play in Bolivia where also argentine got 6 goles cause they have the highest over sea level ground where play their home games and so i say whatever, Klima can change things, but of course teams have loads time to prepare, but its different if u know it all life o just have get used to for a month n never again. All Latin teams looking ok besides Ecuador and Honduras. But thats cause no quality there haha
    For example the german game today had 36 degrees n 60% humidity, that's something in germany u never play a match n by the way how did ghana lose vs usa?? They played very well today haha

    Because USA knew they *had* to win that match against Ghana. They put a heck of a lot of preparation in for that particular game.

    The usa are capable to beat germany as well, the coach knows us very well as he was our coach. He knows our coach now as he was his asistent so its not easy, and even harder if the USA might have to beat us, depending their game tomorrow vs portugal

    Yeah I think this is why Klinsmann was chosen, his knowledge (and skill) is vast. (Although a lot of people not happy with some of his roster choices.)
