He had to know they were joking........ right?seriously.STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE, MESSI JRAwfulMessi sucks at free kicks![]()
Ballack could recite a love sonnet, he's still going to seem like a villain from Die Hard.Macca is the snakiest if the group imo.Who's tone is more direct and maybe snarky; an American speaking English or a guy speaking in his second or third language?You can have the same content come out and have it taken completely differently because of tone/delivery.I think American soccer fans are self-loathing. We don't mind if Ruud or Ballack have strong opinions. But if Alexi or Twellman (and Taylor isn't even that opinionated) have strong opinions, we hate him.

I quite like Ballack. Seems like a gentlemen even with the accent. If I had to rank the Germans in order of "Die Hard" vIllain potential it would go like this (ranking from most evil to least evil):Ballack could recite a love sonnet, he's still going to seem like a villain from Die Hard.Macca is the snakiest if the group imo.Who's tone is more direct and maybe snarky; an American speaking English or a guy speaking in his second or third language?You can have the same content come out and have it taken completely differently because of tone/delivery.I think American soccer fans are self-loathing.

1. Neuer - He is off the chart on the punch-in-the-face meter.Tall and arrogant. Obnoxious smile and evil eyes. Looks-wise and beahvior wise, he has a lot of the stereotypical traits that have made Germans disliked by many. Hans from Die Hard could get lessons from this guy
2. Muller - Not far behind. Reminds me of John Lawernce from the Cobrai Kai
3. Kroos - Looks like the sidekick from Remember the Titans that got kicked off the football team for being racist. Not the leader of the bullies but a fast follower.
4. Klose - Stoic and stone cold like a hitman or assassain. Though now that hes older, he looks more mellow
5. Shweinsteiger - When you first see him, its easy to dislike him. The classic Bavarian-sounding name. The straight, pale face. But I appreciated how he tried to console his teammate Dante after yesterdays defeat. The more you watch him, you realize that hes got class.
6. Hummels - Has a movie star look about him. Could be an evil mastermind but not the kind of guy who gets his hands dirty which is the opposttie of the way he plays. Relatively likable.
7. Lahm - Very un German like in appearance. Generally seems like a nice guy.
8. Khederia - Smiley hipster and out of place on this roster. Would love to grab a beer with him
* Ozil - Incomplete.
9. The seemingly strict security guard tending the prisoners who eventually lightens up and sneaks them food and cigarettes. A friend not a foe.Schurrle needs to be here.I quite like Ballack.

Nobody's going to beat Roger Bennet's description of Low as the villain from No Country For Old Men after a Banana Republic shopping spree.
You've never watched an American football game?I've never seen as much suffering on athletes' faces as I've seen at this WC
They don't have time to lay on the ground in anguish. There's a play clock.You've never watched an American football game?I've never seen as much suffering on athletes' faces as I've seen at this WC
Why didn't it matter? I thought that ball went it.Luckily it didn't matter.Oof, linesman.
I'm 99% sure the ball didn't go in the net so nothing?I'm sure it's happened a lot, but what do we expect from Argentians if they lose...after that call?
