What the hell is Shearer talking about, Mario Gomez a QUICK PLAYER? >_<

[Farmer Reil]

They sound similar. If you don't want to kill the commentator before kickoff has even taken place, it's probably Peter Drury.

Edit: Funny how the Spanish referee finally let's play continue after a foul... on the edge of the Serbian box. Not bearing a grudge against German-speaking nations much after our humiliation against Switzerland, are we Mr. Referee?

Credit should be given to him though. He's made me mark for the Germans. Never thought I'd see the day.

FINALLY! Penalty to Germany. Second time Serbia have done that, too!

SAVED! FFS. Not Germany's day.

Penalty and saved!

What a crazy game.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Did Vidic try to take flight there?

[Farmer Reil]

That was such a shit penalty, Jamie Theakston could've saved it. :@

[Dynamite]

What was Vidic playing at? Shocking penalty though. Not what you expect from Germans!

[Crybaby Bunting]

Vidic should have been sent off for that. What a ridiculously obvious handball.

[Farmer Reil]

He can't be sent off, he's not German.

[ZJ Penn]

Could have big implications for England this. If Germany were to drop points to Ghana, then it could be interesting to see how the second round games lined up.

[Plubby]

Serb keeper broke on that penalty.

[Farmer Reil]

Of course, this result also makes Australia look sssssshhhhhhhhhit!

[Crybaby Bunting]

Did Zigic just knee the German goalkeeper in the back?

[HailtotheYo]

there's no way this ref is seen again in this WC, right ?

[Crybaby Bunting]

Serbian guy kicks German in the leg in the penalty area.

Free-kick to Serbia

Seriously... this is just ridiculous and Germany will be raging tonight.

[IAceI]

Shocking referee. Truly shocking.

Similarly 10-man Germany were much better than Serbia so I can't see them struggling with Ghana. Still, it makes for an even more interesting World Cup now as, except Argetina, no one has really played two good games/a good game if you're a big team.

Bring on England

[Lineker]

Apparently that is Germany's first group stage loss at a World Cup since 1986. Way to go Serbia!!

On the England front, it's been strongly rumoured that James is to start in goal today. Thoughts?

[Crybaby Bunting]

Apparently it was Germany's first penalty miss since 76' or something.

I didn't think I'd see one in my lifetime :/

[ZJ Penn]

Mark Lawrenson looking sharp.

[GoGo Yubari]

Come on, USA, I woke up stupid early for you. Let's do this thing.

EDIT: Oh Jesus.

[Lineker]

23 seconds. Fantastic.
