linksfiend Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Top shelf, where mama hides the cookies!! Go Oranje! Yey - rhymes with Oranje!
Pete Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Uruguay = Flop! Flop! I am so !@#$ing sick of watching South American teams acting like they got shot at the slightest contact. How can anyone possibly root for a team that dives like Argentina or Uruguay? And I love to play pai gow poker. Flop! Flop! That goal was sick!
meazza Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Ah enough bitching about the divers. What a goal by Van Brock horst. What a goal by Forlan!!! How long before Diego Forlan gets signed by Madrid?
TheMadCap Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Ah enough bitching about the divers. What a goal by Van Brock horst. What a goal by Forlan!!! How long before Diego Forlan gets signed by Madrid? Why??? It's ultra-lame...
meazza Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Why??? It's ultra-lame... It doesn't bother me unless it's flagrant. Everyone embellishes. If not, they wont' get the call. Keep in mind that they don't get to go to the bench so it's one of the reasons they do that.
bbb Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I think it's ridiculous that the announcers pronounce the game over when it went to 3-1 with 18 minutes plus injury time........I also find it crazy that they don't stop the clock when the scoring team celebrates for a few minutes.

It's added in injury time ...
meazza Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 !@#$ the floppers. And no, not everyone does it Right ...
ajzepp Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 Ah enough bitching about the divers. What a goal by Van Brock horst. What a goal by Forlan!!! How long before Diego Forlan gets signed by Madrid? Forlan has become one of my fvorite players during this tourney. This guy can do everything, and his long distance shots are DEADLY! He's amazing on set pieces, and his passing is amazingly accurate. I hope he leaves whatever league he's playing in in South America and heads to Europe...I'd love to see more of this guy on a top notch club. There aren't many players who have had a better cup than this dude.
ajzepp Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 Finally, I wasn't expecting much from Germany after the loss of Ballack and the lackluster club seasons of Schweinstieger, Podolski and Klose. So I am definitely surprised (and obviously pleased). Forca Germania!

DrDawkinstein Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Go Big Orange!! Even though I think Germany is an unstoppable powerhouse (assuming they beat Spain), my second team (after USA) is always Netherlands so I'm pulling for them. no other real reasons than I like orange, and Amsterdam!
ajzepp Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 He plays for Villareal in Spain. A good team but not as much cash as Madrid or Barcelona. Oh, really? I thought I heard the announcers say he played for a club in Uruguay. I guess I'll have to watch La Liga a little more often!
meazza Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Oh, really? I thought I heard the announcers say he played for a club in Uruguay. I guess I'll have to watch La Liga a little more often! La Liga sucks. I'd rather watch EPL to see the crappy overrated english clubs [/italian bias]
UConn James Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Several years ago I was working with a programmer from the Netherlands.1998 during the World Cup to be exact. I asked him. "As a fan of Dutch football, what would you rather see...The Dutch winning the World Cup OR beating Germany in any type of match? " Without ANY hesitation, he would have rather see a win by the Dutch over Germany...The WC trophy was secondary. I was amused by the lack of hesitation in his response. And now, they may have a chance to get two birds with one stone.... (knock on wood).
