WC: All but US matches

Ditto.

 

Oh, and I would be remiss if I did not state,.....

"Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles,...!!!"

 

Should be 2 nil at half. The guys from Brazil just have absolutely sick skills and vision. Robinho's goal was a prime example of that. Dutch need to steal a goal early, and then this one might go off.

 

SHould be Could be Would be... Ned draws even 1-1.

Sick skillz... like circus acts dont always translate.

No sooner typed than... NED 2-1 off a slcik hdr on corner

 

NED 2-1 BRA

heh..

That's why they play the games

 

I love the way some right the Dutch off, this games about 90 minutes not 45 or even before it starts..GO ORANGE!!!!

 

Ask and thou shall recieve. I think it was Melo with the red (an the og). What an idiot. Brazil looked lost after that. It was the Dutch who were doing the majority of the hard fouling. Great second goal by the Dutch, perfectly executed from the corner, the touch on, and the goal. They actually should have had one or two more after Brazil went down to 10 men if it were not for some amazingly stupid decisions in the Brazilian box. Hate to be in Rio right about now. All in all, not nearly as pleasing to the eye as the 1994 match. .

 

GO ORANGE BABY!!!!

 

Somehow I got the feeling that the chix will come home to roost. Robben will either clean up his act for the rest of the cup or he'll get his.

But overall, I look at team play, rather than individuals.. and that's what did BRA in. Their collective ego was a hindrance.

All that's missing is the double face-palm!

h/t: 'nonesuch' on BS

 

As bad as each other at times only other difference is Holland scored 2 Brazil scored 1

 

This is MUCH better

 

How Van Bommel got away without a card defies description. He may have gotten to double digits in fouls.

 

The disgust w/the diving goes without saying (the Robben one where he's clutching his shin when he wasn't touched is an example my buddies who don't watch soccer point to as why they don't).

As for the match itself: The late CB replacement Oujer did a tremendous job considering the circumstances.

Felipe Melo: og and a red...not his best day at the office

Wesley Sneijder: Not just because he scored, but his influence on the pitch might make him the best player in the world at the moment (or at the very least in the conversation). He was the best player out there today and let's not forget he was the best player in the CL when Inter knocked out Barcelona.

 

Who's more annoying.... Alexi Lalas or Ruud Gullit?

 

It was funny listening to the play-by-play guy and Harkes describing Pantsil's pre-game routine (standing with both his arms out for about 20 seconds as he says a prayer or whatever he does).

 

Go Pants, Go Ghana!!

 

That just may have been the smartest decision, and red card, by Suarez.

 

Please let justice prevail....Here we go.
