Cacau is the one with no connection to Germany, just like Senna with Spain, Aurelio with Turkey, Liedson, Deco, and Pepe for Portugal.

Brazil really does have too much talent.

But in all honesty, if Brazil gave them no shot, and they lived in other places for a long time, I really don't think it's a big deal.

I'd say Ozil and Villa may be the two best so far.

I think Messi and Villa have so far individually caused the greatest problems for the opposing teams.

Other guys like Forlan and Suarez are just slightly lest dangerous in my opinion. All the German attackers including Ozil are excellent, but I consider them more collectively dangerous than individually.

Although he's a more defensive player, Schweinsteiger has been a beast as well. He has been holding and distributing the ball out of the back brilliantly. The guy has incredible vision.

But watch out for Arjen Robben (spelling hopefully correct now), he'll take over if he's truly healthy.

You mean Arjen Robben?


Schweinsteiger has gone from an attacking wing player to one of the best holding midfielders in the world.

Ozil has been better than anyone I've watched this tourny.

It's ok, they'll just sell him after a year to buy someone else.

ozil is a turkish muslim that plays for germany....he's good, but frick him.

Wesley Sneijder has had a pretty good tournament but has flown under the radar a little because the netherlands "aren't playing well"

and if tevez plays the way he played today the rest of the tournament, its argentinas to lose. what a monster.

thomas muller has played well all tournament too. finally got some finishes today.


and mrsmiller...i like your avatar...Sergio Ramos is my homeboy.

Doesn't matter- Forlan is the glue that holds Uruguay together, and is why they have advanced in the first place...

The Turks have ruined Germany- they came into Germany with work visas, but when the work ran out, they didn't want to go home ('somewhat' similar to our problem in American with illegal aliens). But politics and nationality aside, I am sure the Germans forgive the Turks, due to Ozil...

Who said that? Ozil or Cacau? If Cacau, that's rich He came to Germany in his late teens to play soccer on a tiny team and progressed over the past decade.

If Ozil, that's fine. He has an entirely legit reason to play for either team, and while I would have loved to see him play for the Turkish team, I totally understand his decision and reasoning, much like the Germans probably feel about Nuri Sahin, Hamit Altintop, and Yilidry Basturk.
