Bingo! That's the point, how fast can you run taking the ball with your feet or with your hands. 😀
The NFL guy only needs to be faster than a Third Worlder with several compound fractures.
Stuart, Scott, were you two born and raised in America?
Ever played football (soccer)?
Please leave me out of this, I have not disparaged the rest of the world's idea of football, the world is full of sports good and bad and in-between. Jai alai anyone?
Ever played football (soccer)?
Both. Also baseball and judo.

That's why I say that American football is the best. 😀😀
This might be off topic because it's nothing to do with football, real or otherwise 😛 but I found these free physics lectures by Leonard Susskind quite interesting. It's the closest I'll ever get to a Stanford education

Awesomely excellent, right on man.


Ladies and Gentlemen, lets the mediocrity at your side and prepare yourself for watch the end of the world cup.
The universe started to expand since 15 Townsend million of years, now we belong to the specie that could introspectionate that existence and with this fact, the universe become consent of its own existence, only by our capacity of think and, the next Sunday the universe going to vibrate with the goals of Messi and/or the Argentinian team.

Wow, that was deep.
I think Dolphins, Crows, some kind of Magpies, perhaps Elephants perhaps some kind of cats, wolves, foxes, jackals etc. can introspectionate (nice word) as well.
At the very least, they can recognize themselves in a mirror, which is a sign of sentience.
The only thing which is going to vibrate anything on Sunday though, is the ghostly presence of never-rested WWII soldiers, haunting the game and your country, for kicks.

The problem with the Brazilian team is a bit more complex, let me give my opinion
...
The first, say, ten minutes of the game, Brazil had the ball but made the tactical mistake of giving Germany the play spaces.
This was as suicide ...
The Argentinian team is looking at this forum and has now decided to keep all the play spaces thusly!
Let's keep an eye on these "play spaces".
It reminds me of the chess opening - 1. E4 - E5 2. F4 - to kick away the F pawn to take the play spaces.
You see, even though the total ball possession was quite even, the German teams play was like a swiss watch, because they had a sixth sense for the play spaces and tactical connectivity. You can just see the calm river flow in their style.
This chemical reaction of nervousness versus special vision, resulted in something like water vs Potassium, or 4 goals in 7 minutes if I recall correctly.

Sorry for the solemnity of my words, gentlemen. That's jokes, I consider the name of this thread one of the more shiny theories. Actually we still human been with passions and weakness. Until Sunday is no long time.
My wife is Germany, imagine this dilemma at home.

I like that, a lot. 🙂 ...Right on, and Go Argentina Go!

That too, I like it a lot! 😎

1) Having incredible players like Ronaldinho, they selected second-class players, but Neymar.
2) Being the host country, Brazil, did not require qualifying stage.
3) Our Technical Director (Not barely a "Coach") Alejandro Sabella said (almost in relativistic terms): More important than time of possession of the ball is the coverage of play spaces.
The first, say, ten minutes of the game, Brazil had the ball but made the tactical mistake of giving Germany the play spaces.
This was as suicide as put weaponless people in the way of a Panzerdivision.
Scolari made all the wrong calls with his player's positioning and strategies.
Yes it was pure suicide. ...And his players knew it, and they played the game his way.

I want to watch from the Restaurant at the End of Time! 😉
My friends from Frankfurt are here Sunday, you are invited 😀. Sometimes we are the restaurant at the end of something, not sure what.

Go to the one with the buckets of pasta.
Long gone I'm afraid. In any case this is a home invasion.
