[Nagash]

Git.

[Kenos]

hump holland hump!

[Gili]

booo! Spain won Think they deserved it really, netherlands didn't play to well...and dodgy decisions aside, i think they were lucky to have 10 people at the end.

[owly]

why should i watch football when i get all the up-dates here

[Kenos]

the dutch side thought they were playing karate

[MoP]

Once again, Holland loses a final...

Funny part is they were trying to get to penalties, while everyone knows they can't score penalties.

Agreed. While I think the Germans deserve the cup more than Spain, Spain played their first good game this tournament in this final. They were by far the better side in the final and the pitched battle by the Netherlands was a shameful performance. De Jong should have had a red card, as should Van Bommel. And Iniesta too, some ten minutes before he scored. The Dutch (Van Bommel in particular... how low can that idiot go?!?) behaved like toddlers after he cup-giving-ceremony too.

I want Van Basten back.

[MoP]

Why would you want Van Basten back if you have De Jong?

[Nagash]

Van Basten rules.

I hope he either takes the lead of the Dutch national team, or AC Milan.

[MoP]

He can't be coach at AC Milan... He'll be younger than most of the players!

[Nagash]

So?

[MoP]

They won't accept his leadership. They'll just fancy him. Bloody Italians...

[Nagash]

But if put to good use, that fancy can make him a very good leader. Fancy can lead to authority.

[MoP]

I fancy a lot of woman, but I'd never accept their leadership

[Nagash]

"A lot of woman"? Like in Whole Lotta Rosie?


And maybe so, but somehow you always end up doing what they say.

[asoc]

What did I say about de Jong before the WC started?

What is interesting...

The US had a legit shot at winning the WC the way everything worked out.

They could have beat Ghana but couldn't finish their chances during regulation when they were dominating.
They had a chance against Uruguay, and would have matched up well with the dutch. Then who knows with Spain. The US did get lucky and survive against Spain in the Confed cup.

[Nagash]

I don't think so. Uruguay had just as much team spirit as the USA and have players who are vastly better. Not only Forlan, but also Suarez, Godin, Abreu... The Netherlands and Spain need to have a major offday to lose to the USA as well.

And yeah, De Jong breaks people. Not my kind of player, but there are plenty of teams who have players like that. Argentina for example is famous for having 'butchers' in the defense line.

[asoc]

I could see the US beating Uruguay and the Netherlands, they may not have been the favorites but it wouldn't have been a long shot either.

[Nagash]

Not a chance. They couldn't even beat the English, and they played horribly this tournament. And Slovenia is far from a brilliant team too, and USA drew against them too.

[Bogumil]

Just let us have our "what if" scenarios.
