General Chat / World Cup '10

Six: Not really. The weakest was the game against Serbia.
We were in the same situation that Argentina was in. The enemy was just TOO strong.
We played an awesome tournament, though.

I just think you guys were missing Müller too much.. I think he could've made the difference..

I actually thought you played well against Serbia, just got unlucky with that bad referee who sent Klose undeservedly off and that those 100% chances didn't went in (Khedira on the bar for example)..

Actually as SF said, we were not that bad against Serbia. Infact we were at least as good as them if not better even thought the stupid ref sent Klose off for nothing. Today/Yesterday though we were complete shit. Trochowski is just a player I dislike sooooo much when he plays for the national team because he ALWAYS brings us into trouble. Today he was not a good replacement for Müller at all!

Argggg I am so gutted at the Netherlands getting to the final... not because they dont deserve to be there. But because had I not had to work this weekend I would be in Amsterdam... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

^Hehe..
I'm soooo excited for this sunday! Could be the first time we win the World Cup.. Spain is a very tough opponent though, and they are heavy favorites.. I hope Sneijder and Robben are in good shape and make the difference.. If not, we always have v. Persie, Kuyt or a long ranged shot from v. Bronckhorst..
Only hope I have is that Spain is having trouble scoring and don't score easily this WC..
Fingers crossed

Spain are great at defending, great at attacking and great at counter-attacking. They are going to be very tough to beat.

Plus if Spain win, they will be the first ever team to win the world cup, that lost their first game.

Oh and their players are more attractive

I can honestly say I'm rooting for the Netherlands.

The orange madness in our countries is really kicking in now.

Anyone travelling by train this weekend; you're in for a few treats.

Everyone that thinks Spain is going to win 'hands down' needs to take their heads out of their arse.

Spain has won about half of their matches with 1-0. They lost against Switzerland. Sure, they have the world's best players and sometimes the football looks attractive. That means jack shit in a tournament like this. Germany took Argentina and England easy, with players like Klose and Podolski. They get less heat the Spanish bench. All of Germany plays in the Bundesliga. I was rooting really hard for Germany, I think they just had an off-day.

Anyways, I'm sorry, but Spain is playing the most ineffective football I've seen in a long time. It's going to be Brazil all over again, but I have more faith in this one. Heck, Spain might not even get to scoring since it takes them around 60 minutes of good attacking football to score one goal. They'll be tired and we'll score two or three. Game over. Match.

I am very excited about becoming world champions on Sunday. Hup Holland!

^Apart from the fact that Spain are very good at defense, and I think it will be just as hard for you guys to score a goal. When I said they would win hands down I didnt mean by scoring a load of goals. I mean because Netherlands will find it hard to score.
Oh and when I said the players look more attractive, I didnt mean the football was more attractive, I meant the players themselves are more attractive

Anyway, I dont really mind who wins as neither team have won it before.

Great tournament, guys. It's an honorable and well-deserved 3rd place. I'm pretty excited for our team in Brazil

Where was Neuer?

Löw gave the reserve-players a chance.
That's why Aogo, Jansen, Cacau and Butt played from the beginning.

Haha, Butt.

Great work Germany. Didn't actually get to see the game, but I'm looking forward to seeing the game tomorrow.

Hard to go against a team that has won what, like 54 of its last 56 matches AND a psychic Octopus, but I want to see a Netherlands/Dutch/Holland win. My family actually came to the US from the Netherlands... only that was about 400 years ago...

Go Orange!

Come on Spain!!!!

Are the players lumberjacks or what? At least they act like they were gonna go out and chopp some wood instead of doing a fair tackle.

edit: INCREDIBLE how De Jong did not get sent off for this!!

Go Spain Go!

I find this a really bad final, both teams play messy.

Go Spain!
