Unfortunately the game is at a bad time. Too late to stay up for it and too early to wake up for it. Weeeeell, maybe I will wake up for it. It would be the first German world cup match I will miss since 1994 ;).

I think it will be a good match.

The German lineup will probably be the same as in the Portugal match. I just hope that Klose will get at least 30 minutes of playing time.

I'll watch it, but dude, isn't Klose already too old now? I think it's more a legend what he once was, not who he is now.

But I'll wear my full gear and eat Somtham to it.......

The performance of the Germans at the Portugal game has been overestimated. Eight opportunities, including five standards, but otherwise, especially a controlled, powerful game that was never inspired much.

The game against Ghana - the necessary as appropriate - bring disillusionment because Ghana will be "the expected heavy opponents."

If they win, they'd won. tongue.png

Germany will start with the same line up as in the Portugal match. Hummels recovers from his slight injury.

Anyway it will be difficult against the strongest(?) african team.

This a great football match both teams going for it and Ghana have just scored

a second at 63mins to make it 2-1 and they fully deserve to be ahead.

Plenty of time for more goals!

Still end to end stuff but Ghana needs the win but Klose just equalised on

71mins to make it 2-2.

Still time for more goals though, could go either way.

Well, I am glad I don't have to do the talking for him. Klose answered your question 2 minutes after entering the field ;)

But in all seriousness, he may be old and MAY not be able to bring 100% over 90 minutes. But he sure can play 45 minutes and make a mess in the opponents defense. It's always been fun watching him play over the years.

Nevertheless, it was a great 2nd half. I missed most of the 1st half...but from what I heard, it wasn't that good of a first half anyways.

I've been blown away by the quality of the football tonight. This is what the World Cup is about.

I'll also tip my hat to Iran. Fair play.

Messi scores the second best goal of the tournament in extra time.

What a match!

Best one so far.

Let's hope they beat those guys who'll finally have the second place.

The victory over Portugal made the Germans think they are the greatest.

The penalty was not justified and then they had the advantage to play against a team of ten.

It's been all too favourable for the Germans who often tend to underestimate their opponents.

In the beginning of this Ghana match they have played a boring "Standing Football", keeping the ball in their own half.

Hope this had been an eye opener for the Germans. Won't be easy against USA.

They should remember: "Everyone is cooking with water only."

methinks some of you'all read too much cerebral stuff in to the players and teams. Let's not forget, as much as anything else, they're young guys who are jazzed to be in Brazil playing on the world stage, and they're trying to win games - oh, and get a lot of money, and get laid by the hottest chicks - also. I guess it's too late for me to turn back the hands of time. Maybe we can start a league for old farts, and call it the Vericose League. They've got wheelchair basketball, why not wheelchair football (maybe it already exists?). I'm in, if the chicks are hot and not wider than they are tall.

Another terrific game in this excellent World Cup. Ghana missed a few good chances to go 3-1 up. Nearly all the pre tournament favorites have had their cages rattled by unrated sides.

You've probably just done more trash talking then Germany has done in all the World Cups put together lol. You seem very biased or anti German for some reason.

Ghana is a pretty good team. Great speed. They will give a lot of teams trouble. However I do think the Germans were fatigued by the speed of Ghana and the oppressive heat. Germany should still be considered one of the European favorites.

yeah it's been fantastic so far hasn't it? so unpredictable. some supposed unfancied nations have been terrific to watch and got surprise results, the general effort and entertainment levels have been a joy. fingers crossed teams don't go all conservative and afraid to lose once we get into the knockout rounds.

      Advise sought on second hand PCX or Nmax

      I started looking online, and most bikes are from 2 major second hand sellers. But prices drop like a rock. 2023 registered with ABS and only about 1500km for 60.000 baht. Advertised as first owner, and having full service history, and including 1-year warranty from seller. I assume the 3 year Honda warranty is also still valid. 2024 registered with ABS and only 500km, for 70.000 baht. Again, first owner accident free and warranty from seller. Are these prices realistic, or should I be very wary?

      Abortion

      The abortion scene in LOVE WITH A PROPER STRANGER (1963)- Natalie Wood's attempt to get a backroom abortion is aborted by Steve McQueen, in one of the most moving & frightening scenes dealing with the reality of abortion before Roe vs Wade. Wood was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar® for this film, directed by Robert Mulligan (TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) and produced by Alan Pakula. No Copyright Infringement Intended. I hope that all will watch this. At least, anyone who is anti-abortion.... Yes. Frightening. This is the best dramatization of this issue. The only problem with this segment is that: No one has the right to refuse any woman an abortion. There should be NO stigma attached. Backroom abortions are an abomination. There is ZERO stigma in Taiwan, for example, just for your info..... This is the way it should be.

      Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”

      I tagged you in a post a few hours ago . Don't tell me that you cannot find that !!!!! I have a feeling that you are now just winding me up "Hamas stated how many hostages they are holding and what their condition is and Hamas also state they will find out where all the other hostages are and what their condition is . Hamas released that info just after Trump made his threat That is the first step in resolving the issue and the hostages being freed"

      A Christmas Day bust-up down the 7/11.

      Truth be told.... I actually was forced to sit next to a Russian, today, at the bank. One of the worst experiences of my life. The clothes he was wearing were not enough color-coordinated for my tastes, and this was only one of his many offences. He was not a Dostoevsky, by any means. Now, I know what you guys have been complaining about. Still, this knowledge does not help me to deal with it. In the future, I will never leave my house.

      I'm Non-B Work Extension. Spouse is Non-O Dependent Extension. Convert Non-O Retirement?

      Hoping to tap the forum expertise. As the title says, I arrived 8 years ago on Non-B Visa for employment and have been on 1-year employment extensions ever since with the same company. My spouse arrived on Non-O Visa as a dependent and had tandem 1-yeardependent extensions with me. Early Jan'25 we will go for our 9th 1-year extension at Chamchuri with company visa agent. Chamchuri is the only experience we have had with Thai immigration. However, I am now confirmed that I will complete my employment on 28FEB25. The visa agent will provide me a timeline for work permit cancellation in February, but don't have the firm dates yet. Both my spouse and I come from visa exempt qualified countries. My company, work visa and work permit matters have always been done in Bangkok. We will be in Bangkok for all matters going forward. Both my spouse and I want to migrate to Non-O Retirement. Both of us are over 50yo. Both of us have separate Thai bank accounts opened years ago with deposits exceeding THB800k (but the funds have NOT been transferred from overseas, they are from my Thailand salary account). Both of us have a multi-year contract under both our names for the condo we currently occupy and intend to occupy going forward. As I have been under a BOI company dealing with Chamchuri, we have never had to do a TM30. All 90-day reports are up to date for both of us. Ideally we want to convert from current visas to Non-O Retirement without leaving the country. Besides convenience, my primary driver is that my spouse has just had a knee replacement and she has limited mobility. Question #1: Is there a legal process that can accomplish this? The reason I ask is that I have approached several visa agents and they all reply with vague no-need-to-leave quotations (ranging from THB25 to THB110k per person!), but when I probe details and hear things like "no need to show bank funds" or "no need to come to immigration in person", it tells me that the process they are using is not above board. Honestly I don't want to start my retirement with this kind of process as I have heard many stories about how dodgy processes can lead to rejections in later extensions. IF a legal process exists to convert without leaving the country, I am all ears for the details! Question #2: IF it is absolutely necessary to leave the country, then what is the most efficient way to do so? Worst case I had been provisionally planning to ask the company visa agent to cancel everything on 28FEB25 and request a 7-day extension. Then we would fly to Laos with my spouse and take a 3-day trip to apply for the 90-day non-O Retirement there. However, I now read that the system will change to e-visa and Laos requires payment in person before processing, so using Laos appears too difficult. Question 3: Given the e-visa scheme, is there a nearby country (Cambodia, Malaysia, etc.) for us to apply/pay/get approved in advance (say early February) while we are in Thailand, then once our cancellations are done end February, fly out first week of March to that country and immediately fly back using our pre-approved e-visas? We honestly don't want to fly out, apply and then wait in a hotel for "up to 15 days" for an e-visa to be approved (assuming we are not asked for more paperwork). Question #4: Failing all of the above, what alternative(s) would be advisable? I have really tried to read all past threads on this process. Whilst there are claims that they "know someone who was able to convert in the country", I see no details to support how the process would work (or it seems like some things were done years ago or during COV19 extenuating circumstances). Apologies for the long post, but wanted to add as much detail as possible. Really appreciate any guidance. Kind regards!
