Bruce Banner Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Johannesburg will be a home game for the Dutch. This is karmic payback for coming in second in '74 and '78 against teams playing at home. FWIW, all this talk about Germany having a young team that is primed to win in '14 is insane. Brazil at home is the lock of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnytestaverde Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Scoreless at the half. Let's go Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 That was just awful. Disgraceful half of football. Holland should have 9 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 This game sucks. The players are playing like crap. They are playing dirty and when the ref calls it they complain like total phonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Instead of going to penalties, can we not just give neither team the trophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Banner Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Right now I'm really wishing we had the fairy tale ending of tiny Uruguay winning. Or the Germans, they are usually classier than these two teams are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Now that stupid Octopus has been right 6 games in a row. Holland is the Alydar of soccer countries, second place three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 **** the World Cup. Overrated tournament anyways but that one was compeletely ****. Roll on August, Bring on the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Terrible game to watch. No flow, awful referring (what else is new), chippy play. But, Spain was the better team and they won with a great pass by Cesc and finish by Iniesta. Hopefully Fabregas stays with Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanDoug Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 **** the World Cup. Overrated tournament anyways but that one was compeletely ****. While I somewhat enjoy the WC spectacle, it's popularity and the immenseness of the event, I'm glad it's over. It was really fukking up my Cubbie baseball watching at the sports bars. Now I can grieve uniterrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 This will be the easiest World Cup Final victory ever for the Netherlands. SO happy we didn't have to face Germany. We did it baby! Hup Holland Hup! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 So, the floppers beat the cloggers. An atrocious final, I did like De Jong's kung fu kick though. Still, that's it til Brazil 2014. No more vuvuzelas, well, not as many of them, though I can't help think that they're here to stay - (thank you to that steward who confiscated the one at the Waterford match Friday night - though you should have gone through with your threat to ram it up the idiot's arse). 4 more years of hurt for England. Long may it continue. And if Sepp Blatter really wants to improve football, put Kim Jong-Il in charge of all disciplinary matters - with executing powers. That North Korean team were brilliant, no diving, no whining to the ref, no waving imaginary cards etc. That's how it should be done. And if it means Cristiano Ronaldo's Frankenstein clone kid has to grow up with his father slaving in a salt mine for diving, so be it. If Ghana have any sense, they'll try to get passports for Karl Bermingham and Philly Hughes for the next world cup - the guys are penalty scoring machines. Seriously though, it was a terrible World Cup. I'm actually glad I missed a few games to watch the Mons - the quality and entertainment was much better. And the Airtricity League had better refereeing - which is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching the highlights a few times I've decided that what really happened is that both teams choked and NED choked more. What an awful final game. I think if the ref had kicked out de Jong there is a small chance it might have forced NED to play a real game. We'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 lol, from espn's gamecast discussion Jeff Carlisle: I thought the foul on Heitenga looked a bit soft on the replay. [Comment from Webb] Yellow to Carlisle for questioning me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
