Still can't believe he did that. The player wasn't even aggressive with the pass.

Most of them give away the fake when they cover their face... when they are really hurt they ain't covering their face they busy holding that area of the body that hurts like all humans do...
 
Rivaldo dive in 2006 (?) was bad. But thanking god after a successful dive like Fred did makes you an instant über-asshole in my book.

Seriously, unworthy of becoming world champion.

Blame the game or the reff or even the player but not the nation, man.
People here are not happy with what he did.
Brazil played way better than Croatia but it's not worth it to win like that.
Oscar's score made it less wrong I guess.

Btw he (Fred) still says it was a pen (yesterday). He said he lost his balance when he was grabbed even though there was no real pull.
 
Standing in line for the Pearl Jam gig. It's like the world cup here, people from all over the world are gathered here today.

Oh no! Don´t get me wrong. i love Brazil. But I´m in world cup mode now.
 
yeah, fixed it before you quoted me, bub. all dem war movies innit

No worries - Krauts is OK. It refers to what is supposed to be our favorite food (SauerKraut)

It´s thrown around a lot at events like this one and really not that bad.
 
Germany to stomp Portugal, Ghana to beat USA again, and then lots of goals for Iran v. Nigeria. Would make for a wonderful day of football.

PJ in Holland always seems to attract international folk. Lots of Brits and Spanish speaking guys and gals. Have fun btw, saw them two years back in the Ziggodome. They're great!

Prediction time:

Germany - Portugal 2-1
Iran - Nigeria 1-1
USA - Ghana 3-2

Also, why are the Dutchies so confident in this thread? That Spain game means jack.
We're just riding on the crazy of the unexpected win. I'm scared of the Socerroos man.
 
If we can do that to Spain, we could do it to you. Just saying.

Luckily, Bild and the like will claim it a victory for Germany either way, because "Robben."

In related news, I love how there's actually a Wikipedia article on Germany - Netherlands.

I didn't give a damn about the score. 1–0 was enough, as long as we could humiliate them. I hate them. They murdered my family. My father, my sister, two of my brothers. Each time I faced Germany I was angst-filled.[2]

Damn.
 
Was listening to sports radio yesterday and they were recaping the scores. Marko Balotelli with the header to beat England.

Marko Balotelli. Please stop America, either actually care and do a good job or just stop.
 
Not gonna happen since Donovan is sitting on his couch at home.

I am not confident at all. I enjoyed that game immensely. It was awesome, even more so because I was sure Holland was going to lose.

That being said we still have two difficult group games to go and I will be relieved if we make it through the group stage. After that it will be one game at a time and hopefully we'll see some great games and reach the semi's or something.

Because it's okay to be behind your team.

I absolutely loathe the general Dutch opinion of downplaying victories and good performances and having good players. Tempering expectations so that we can't ever get disappointed when we fail. The worst quality the Dutch have when it comes to sports (but really anything) is pretending to have humility and not ever showing conviction in our abilities.

If we lose, fine, we lose, but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna be 100% behind The Netherlands as the future World Champion until we're actually out of the running.
 
Regardless of the actual score, I will say this: I will be utterly shocked if the US-Ghana match doesn't have an undeserved penalty for Ghana or an American player being blatantly fouled in the box without a penalty being given.
 
Jozy v Gyan today.

Gyan is a cunt. Jozy's a bit shit. However I'm on team Jozy tonight, he is still affiliated with SAFC whereas Gyan is a tosser. I can definitely see a Jozy brace to start his march towards the Golden Boot.
