Maybe they aren't as 'creative' as Brazil, but

no talent??? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] , and

no superstar?? - Oliver Kahn comes pretty close [img]smile.gif[/img]

good organisation, teamspirit and the best goalkeeper in the world may just have something to do with it ;)

</font>[/QUOTE]Oliver Kahn is a superstar, yes, But he is also a goalie and goalies don't score goals. They work hard, yes, but so does my mother. I think it's mostly luck. What really tough opponents did they face so far ? Name one.

That is hardly their fault - you don't get to choose your opponents - and their 2-0 victory over Cameroun while playing with 10 men for over an hour was impressive.

So korea is out. :D
I can't say I am sorry for them... [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]
Ze Germans have reached their 7th final in the world cup history.
If Brazil makes it(I have my fingers crossed I can't see the turks in the final)it will be the first time these two sides meet ever!
Anyway to todays match.It seems that korea's "luck" has run out.SO strange that this happened against a european referee,isn't it?
@Groj
You wouldn't know the team I support in Greece.It is called Aris Thessaloniki.
Panathinaikos is from Athens

It was me who asked that question, and i do know Aris Saloniki. Are their fans just as (in)famous as the ones from PAOK ? Man, they're fanatic on your island ! :D

I can't believe some of you guys are still pushing the conspiracy speculation.

Get over it.
