Remember when people quoted me saying how Germany won't be 100% winner of group B? I'd like to hear what they have to say now :D :D

People said that in football nothing is set on stone, which is a proven historic truth. No one actually said that Germany didn't have the best chances. You really should stop twisting what people say.

Why are you trying to spin this into something ? I said Germany is gonna be 100% winner of group B. I was right. Those who doubted were wrong. Simple as that

Also, didn't you call people naive and said that no one in their right mind could have thought that Russia had the best chances to go through? That's not respecting other people's opinion nor is that an actual argument because you never actually gave a factual reason as to why Russia wasn't the best team in their group. So yeah, you did attack other people's opinion, that's why Lafiel stopped arguing with you and why I said it's pointless to argue with you.

No, i never attacked Lafiel himself. I said naive people thought Russia would win because of 1 game against Czechs. How is that in any way an attack towards Lafiel? I never said anything to him, where you actually said that i was pointless to argue with, which indicates something else.  And if you actually go and read the previous page, you'll see that I DID give factual reason as to why Russia wasn't the best team in their group. Im just gonna stop derailing the thread with you here, because you can be very stubborn sometimes.

No one said that you were wrong, just that in football nothing is set on stone before it happens. There's no 100% truths on football before the matches happen, because surprises can and will happen, is it so wrong to expect that? It's not like football history hasn't shown that before. 

And please, do show me where in the last page you argued factually regarding the Russian team strength, because as I recall, your only argument was based on their performance against Poland, when in contrast I argued with their factual line up strength and potential which was undoubtely the strongest in all of Group A, and this particular fact is easily corroborated by the great majority of football analysts. Just because they were knocked out, doesn't mean that they didn't have the strongest team in their group. If you can't unbiasedly (your bias has been pointed out and it's a potentially big bias) see that, then you really have no room to argue in this point.

Anyway, i'm through with this argument as well. Things are there for people to read if they're interested and they can easily come to their own conclusions.
