Germany vs. Serbia

12:30 GMT (Summer Time) in Port Elizabeth

The situation is pretty clear. Germany had the best start of all teams and is looking to confirm the good form they've shown in their opener while Serbia needs all 3 points badly as to not jeopardize their play-off qualification chances.

Average-Ro

Have the day off today so I'm gonna sit down and watch all 3 matches (something I haven't had a chance to do yet)

Looking forward to this one.

prinz

C'mon Germany!! V Deutschland V Could be tough enough match, apparently the Germans are worried about picking up injuries against the Serbs, they are seen as a team who won't take any prisoners.

Boskowski

Looking forward to this myself.

I think it will give an indication as to whether Germany is really this good or whether it was circumstances (Australia being cr@p) more than anything.

Being a supporter one is always worried and no matter what was shown I can't help but being - well 'negative' isn't the right word, let's say 'too good to be true'?

So all these nasty thoughts are creeping up like what if Australia had scored after 3 minutes - I mean there was a pretty scary one right at the start - that kinda stuff. So long story short I'm looking for the team to put me at ease. I want to see the Australia performance repeated. Maybe not as many goals - before the tournament I would have rated Serbia as our biggest threat in this group- but convincing forward play again would be just lovely.

Ah ye that would do it alright. Although Özil is my captain on the fantasy team, so I wouldn't mind if he scored or at least had an assist or so.

I just have this feeling that while playing forward just fine our central defense could look quite wobbly against stronger teams.

Accidentally predicted the Germans to win by 3... they better do it!

Loved the graphic underneath Ronnie just there.

Ronnie Whelan

Father Ronnie also played for Ireland.

Surely they could've picked something better.

Loving the German coaches cardigans

keano_afc

I predicted a 1-0 German victory but I also have Serbia to go to the Q-F's so want a Serbia win. Still cant believe they lost to Ghana.

Thought that was in there

Jesus, Richardson annoys me so much. He over analyses everything.

redout

He's quite annoying actually.

SV

there's gonna be a red card in this game before the first half, no doubt about it

prinz

wtf? I'm half watching the game and every time I seem to look he's dishing out a yellow card. How many has that been?

Boskowski

The commentator on drugs or something?

Boskowski

Germany not as sharp as the other day. Serbia sitting pretty deep too.

SarahBM

Serbia managing to keep the Gers out so far. ooooohhhhhh off side!

Boskowski

Nearly every foul a card

SarahBM

~Marky~

Klose off :eek:

Boskowski

Wheelan talking rubbish. Ref is nuts.

IvySlayer

Red card for Klosé. Undeserved.

Melion

This ref is having a shocker but at least he is being consistent

mike65

A fupping disgrace, that ref has killed this game. I knew he was making a rod for his own back and now we see the result. I expect a second red before this game is done.

prinz

This refs a joke. It will finish up as a game of 7-a-side at this rate.

IvySlayer

Has the referee been consistent?

shano_88

Wtf at Damien Richardson saying you cant blame the referee?

Its a terrible sending off.

SV

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

Oat23

Commentator on Sky Germany was pretty funny there. Just started shouting ''Nein, Nein, Nein'' like 8 times.

1-0 Serbia.

F**king ref killed the game.

Mushy

And now a goal!

Melion

That was quick

IvySlayer

GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL.....Great stuff from Serbia.

~Marky~

This is mental

Headshot

Degag

Oh shut up Richardson, your co-commentator is right. The match will decend to farce if there is a yellow for every challenge.

FatherTed

Ref is awful.

Serbia goal. This will make it interesting.

redout

Sorry but this is a disgrace.

Well done ref.

Le King

Serbia score.


Richardson talking shíte as usual!
