2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Specially considering that Uruguay is way smaller, at least in population:

Uruguay: 3,494,382
Netherlands: 16,622,025

Land area shouldnt count for much in Futbol.

Forlan ftw. The man seems destined to rub Fergie’s face in it.

NASA confirms: Jabulani ball is unpredictable

FIFA & Adidas: Epic Fail.

Rampaging start by both sides. Wonder for how long they can keep this pace?

WOW. Goal of the tournament there.

Holly shit! What a howitzer by Van Bronckhorst!

Oranje up 1 zip inside of 20.

Gio can’t half hit a ball. Woah!

I know there’s a long way to go yet, but that was a goal worthy of winning any game.

And fwiw, NASA, I think that shot was going faster than 72kph.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh and Uruguay hits back with a long-range shot of their own. This is turning into a most intriguing match.

Did Ivan call that one or what? Forlan really is clutch! And a great goal as well.

One all at the 42 minute mark.

GOOOOALL!!! want to kick it from a far?, ok, take this!, vamo arriba la celeste!

“Diego, whoa oh. Diego, whoa oh oh oh. He shoots from outside the box. He shakes his lovely blond locks. Diego, whoa oh. Diego, whoa oh oh oh…”

“Fergie, Fergie, sign him up. Fergie, sign him up!”

Oh, what’s that? You already did do? And you sold him and bought Berbatov? Oh, right, I see.

These guys shoot it from 25 yards out and miss the goal by 20 feet. Pathetic.

Oh wai—

To be fair, Sir Alex sold Forlan in 2004, right about the time he bought Wayne Rooney, not Berbatov (who didn’t sign with United until 2008). As good as Forlan has been in the World Cup, I don’t think many Man U fans will complain about that one.

How dare you ruin my moan with facts! :stuck_out_tongue:

WTF? That was only lucky strike…and a bit shady as well.

Oh well, Oranje up 2-1 on an own-goal.

No doubts about that one. Hard luck, Uruguay.

Robben books a ticket for The Dutch in The Final with a text book header.

3-1 on 75 minutes.

Doesn’t the flag get in the way of corner kicks? And what’s up with that little flip of the ball when they set up for a free kick?

the commentary on ESPN on Holland has not improved.
