Life goes on. Just not as joyfully.

At this point in the tournament, the game is both cruel and wonderous. It only makes it all that much more bitter for the losers when the match was so even to the very end. Our love for the game is in both the agony of huge defeats and in the glory of great victories…neither would have any meaning without the other. Germany will have it’s day on the pitch once more, but for now it must be resigned to what could have been. It’s been a great tournament, I only wish my wife and I could have made it to Germany to enjoy it all.

the most lovely game…the football its crew´s passion.forza italia , and good luck for France and Portugal.See u in 2010

What I love about the Germans is that they play hard and lose with dignity. No scenes after the game…. and no matter what, the entire country backs up the Mannschaft regardless of outcome. That is team spirit…… Some others may want to learn a thing or too. When England lost, I was devasted to see Beckham leave the field. I have never been pro England soccer, but give a great man and player the respect he deserves…. Seeing that, hurt even my non-English heart.

Ok Germany… you have lost to a better side who is daring to go all out attack with a solid defenders, Italy. Nothing to be ashamed of because they are indeed a very good side. Maybe too much over confident killed Germany itself and the missing action of Frings, and Ballack who did not really play well and the Italian defenders keep Klose out of the match. So now onto the match with Portugal, hope you will win this match againts a good side like them because they have the same thing to prove here in top four. Portugal is another strong side just like France or Italy, so beating them will be a good gift to all the Germany fans out there. It will be another tough match, and hopefully both team displays good performance and waking up from their defeat. Klose, still have a shot to prove and I dont know whether he is still in the race for Golden Shoe or not but lets hope he will score againts Portugal but of course, it will be tough and defeat by Portugal is still possible. So, Germany, even you have lose the game by the Great Italians, there is one more match to prove that you are the best and still can provide good football, go get the 3rd place and win it with dignity. To Portugal, congratulations, even you have lost to France, but it was just because of a penalty that makes a big difference. So Germany and Portugal…both wil try to prove something for the 3rd place… good luck.

Its Great that Germany crashed out of the World Cup in the semifinals. A country which prostitutes its women for tourists and visitors has nothing called National Pride. Look at the way the Germans sold female flesh during this World Cup. They are a bunch of pimps and prostitutes.

Pragyan, ever been to a prostitute. The perform a more honest service than some others, such as politicians, media, lawyers, etc. You get what you pay for but you do not have to go. It is simple. Also, not all the prostitutes in Germany are Germans. They have a pretty international presence. Perhaps even from India, but I do not know that.
