R32: Germany 1 Paraguay 1 (AET Paraguay win 4-3 on penalties)

[Banana]

Venue: Boston

Winner will play either France or Sweden in last 16

 

[Chomp]

Germany's first WC knockout match since 2014! Unbelievable Jeff.

 

[LongLostBee]

Still have a sneaking suspicion the Germans might be the dark horses for this tourney.
Wirtz plays better for them and when he’s on his game he’s really dangerous.

 

[BuzzWord]

Wirtz shoots .... "ooh, that's half way to Cape Cod".

 

[TW1Bee]

Almiron thinks he's still playing for Newcastle throwing himself down a lot.

 

[Hippobee]

My observations from watching this game so far (which is similar to watching England trying to break down a low block).

Why don't players try and dribble past defenders/midfielders any more? They are forever trying to pass them to death and it rarely works.

Very boring.

 

[BuzzingBee95]

Germany done nothing the first half hour.

Though I did enjoy Thomas Hitzelsperger saying it reminds him of watching England

 

[Hippobee]

And Paraguay score!

Let the sh*thousery begin!

 

[Bigbee]

I might watch this dirge a bit longer now

 

[SmiffyBee]

Up the Guay !

 

[Boston Bee]

Almiron thinks he's still playing for Newcastle throwing himself down a lot.

I want to root against Germany of course, but Almiron is such a constant cheat that it’s hard.

 

[Hullbee]

These low blocks maybe the solution is just give them the ball and wait for them to mess it up

 

[LongLostBee]

All part of the plan. Really really really dark horses

 

[LongLostBee]

These low blocks maybe the solution is just give them the ball and wait for them to mess it up

I think teams playing us did that sometimes…

 

[ppobee]

So much to enjoy in Thomas Hitzelsperger's accent.

 

[LongLostBee]

Speaks clearer English than Micah…

 

[Berkobee]

So much to enjoy in Thomas Hitzelsperger's accent.

Sounds a bit like Henning Wehn.

 

[BuzzingBee95]

This is probably only the 5th or 6th time I've watched him play, but how Leroy Sane has managed to play for both City and Bayern is incredible.

Despite his stats not being too bad, he still looks terrible

 

[mhead bee]

These players who hit the deck and stay there, their cheating nature won’t allow them to get up so they stay down to enhance their lies. But what they do is leave their teams down to 10

Still fast, and definitely doesn’t lack confidence. This remember is the dollop with a tattoo of himself on his back…

 

[JANORAK]

Nagelsman still in a job…

Havertz 1-1.

 

[SpiderBee]

Hard to be excited in this. Germans will win..........................

 

[northdevonbee]

Almiron has put a shift in for Paraguay

 

[ladbroke]

I take it McDonalds hadn't finished their ad break which is why everyone stood there for a minute or so waiting to re-start...

 

[BS7Bee]

Is there a reason Germany are attacking the same end as they did in the second half? Did I miss something?

 

[SmiffyBee]

Pants !

 

[SmiffyBee]

Hang on .....

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Appaling decision.

 

[SmiffyBee]

Soft foul but the German definitely affected the keeper's movement.

No Goal !

Bring on the Pens.

 

[Garybaldbee]

That was not a foul. The keeper collapsed on the slightest of contacts. Dreadful decision.

 

[Boston Bee]

The right call. But wow. So soft.

 

[mhead bee]

Soft as sh*te decision that

 

[SWL Bee]

Soft foul but the German definitely affected the keeper's movement.

No Goal !

Bring on the Pens.

Agree, not that controversial, he clearly impedes the keeper and under current standards in football its a foul. Shearer spouting crap as usual.

 

[aslan]

Soft, but that happens in the PL and you have the keeper and the defence chasing 30 yards after the referee and the goal eventually disallowed.

 

[aslan]

That was not a foul. The keeper collapsed on the slightest of contacts. Dreadful decision.

I don't think the keeper was that bothered. Did he even appeal?

 

[Boston Bee]

Was there a VAR on the ‘foul’ in the box?

 

[Untouchable]

It wasn’t a foul. But soft decisions like this have been given throughout the WC so at least there is some consistency.

 

[BuzzBeeSi]

Shearer keeps saying it's a contact sport, and of course it is, but for me you shouldn't be allowed to impede the goalkeeper in his own 6 yard box at all.

 

[jbee]

Will stick in the craw if that daft decision proves crucial. I want to see a Germany vs France game in the last 16, please. No interest in watching this tedious Paraguay team again.

 

[Boston Bee]

They might have played 8 minutes this half…2 min added on. Joke.

Totally rewarded for the faking and griping.

 

[mhead bee]

This keeper is going to save some pens tonight, I can feel it

 

[Untouchable]

Penalties it is.

Germany are a poor watch, a poor team, I want them out, but Paraguay are a horrible team, hate seeing these tactics win out

 

[Untouchable]

The classic Arsenal penalty miss.

 

[SmiffyBee]

Will stick in the craw if that daft decision proves crucial. I want to see a Germany vs France game in the last 16, please. No interest in watching this tedious Paraguay team again.

... the anti football of the Paraguay team might be the only thing that can derail the French....

 

[Untouchable]

Dogshit from Woltemade.

 

[mhead bee]

Oh my word

 

[Untouchable]

Paraguay have choked.

 

[ladbroke]

Very poor 4th penalty gave momentum to Germany. Paraguay have cracked under pressure

 

[ladbroke]

What the hell!!

Germany now crack.
