Seems that the Netherland is continuing where the Dutchland left…
Epic meltdown 2.0 looks likely.
Netherlands are pissed at not being in the final.
By the way, the Dutch second kits get my vote for prettiest in the tourney.
Nice shot from Brazil, which is better than they achieved at the first half in the previous game.
Dirk Kuyt plays like a one legged man. It was awful in the Argentina match and it’s nearly as bad here. Every time he gets the ball in the attacking third he passes it backwards.
It is seriously nice. To be honest, I’m fond of their orange-on-orange first kit, as well.
Germany’s second jersey is pretty nice, too, but it would look better with white shorts. I liked Colombia’s red-stripe-on-yellow thing, too.
Anyone have other favourite kits?
Poor officiating so far. Penalty for the pk was outside the box. Second goal was off-sides. Robben was actually fouled when he was given a yellow for simulation. Some of the out of bounds calls were wrong as well.
New drinking game, drink every time Kuyt passes it backwards.
KarlGrenze, it obviously wasn’t a dive, but don’t let that stand in the way of hating on Robben, which you’re obviously enjoying. Don’t think it happened in the box, though, so it may not have been a penalty kick, although it was a good scoring opportunity.
For the second goal, we really need to thank David Luiz, who set it up nicely for Blind.
Fyi the Dutch are from the Netherlands. You seem to have in mind Deutschland, which is German for Germany.
For the last sentence, you’re right. He did set that one up.
Now that’s an astonishing statistic. No team in the World Cup has ever come back from a 2-0 halftime score? Really?
The officials seem to aspire the “trophy” for worst refereeing in the tournament. I wonder of Karl is doing the same for the “least knowledgable” poster in this thread.
I looks like the Denver Broncos have a soccer team.
I think he said two or more.
Only reason I haven’t destroyed my TV is because nobody is passing to Kuyt.
:smack: yes. I have to blame a lot of recent confusions I had on Montezuma’s revenge.
Also, the vast majority of WC matches are in the group stage, where matches can conclude in a tie.
Fucking Montezuma. Hate that guy.
Wow, the referee just called a totally incorrect card for diving against Oscar. You get the impression that the ref is completely fed up with Brazil’s antics, to the point that he’s biased against them.
It is just a very, very bad referee.
