I do agree, but I think the tactics would have changed, making for a more interesting match. Germany did deserve to win, no doubt.

Chances are they go back to the same tactics that they used at the beginning of the game. Just my opinion, but I don't see many situations where Germany loses that game. Ozil and Schweinsteiger would be sending in perfect passes to an overrated defense with a 40 year old in goal. I don't see any scenarios where that works out for England. It was a bad call, but I don't think it would have changed much.

What are everyone's thoughts on upcoming champions league final and gold cup this summer... Personally I think man u will pull the upset... Hopefully the yanks will win the gold cup... Experiencing brazil a year before the rest of the field would be huge

Don't think United will win. Just don't see how United's midfield can contend with Iniesta-Xavi-Busquets. Certainly wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney drop way back and play defense, leaving Chicarito all by himself.

Solid points. United are more than capable of pulling the upset. SAF lives for situations like this, for making the impossible a reality. Barca are very solid, and will be tough to beat, however.

I suppose I'm rooting for Barcelona in the Champions League. I like Messi much more than Rooney and I like Spain more than England. Seems good enough for me.

As far as the Gold Cup, I'm nervous. I'm not so sure we're better than Mexico right now. Chicharito gives them an advantage up top.

Chicharito has had an excellent season with Man. Utd. He is going to be scary.

I'm hoping Agudelo pans out. We really need some help up top. If we had a forward that could actually score, we may have made the semifinals this past World Cup.

I would be interested in seeing Dempsey go back up top instead of playing in the midfield. Jozy Altidore just isn't doing it for me. I like the guy, and it may help if he gets more playing time with his club, but right now he's simply not getting it done, IMO.

One thing I like is Agudelo sparks Altidore. If they are a striking team it brings life to him and he stops being a lazy POS.

He is supposed to be pretty talented, no? I have not got to watch much of him. I think the move with Dempsey wpuld be a good one.

Jozy has been on my crap list since the WC. It seemed to me like he would get lazy and quit whenever the going got tough. I hope he grows out of it.

1-0 Barca. Pedro with the goal. I think we will have a tough time scoring since the majority of our attacks are down the middle, where United have the best centerback duo in the world.

Spain is a great country w a bunch of super hot sexually liberal women. I got sexually assaulted once in a club in barcelona by two girls, it was awesome.

With that said, it's a pretty racist fan base so I'll root for England.
