Snorting silver salts
my brother lives in the netherlands, I would sure like the dutch to win this thing (they have been waiting way longer for a title), too bad that, in theory, the spanish are simply better.
secret champion of the cup is still Ghana.
Just read in someones signature here:
In theory, practise and theory should be the same, in practise, they are not.
Ergo: in theory, the Spanish are better, but in practise they are not.

You could turn that around Johan!

Congratulations to Spain. They played very exciting football, and they deserved to win. The German team appeared lame, in comparison.
We will have an exciting Spain versus Holland finals.

Here I am, like some years ago (and ever since 1974): already rooting for the Orange team.

Congrats to the Spanish team on a very well deserved win. They were the better team today. It seemed that at the end of every pass, there was a Spaniard.
So, Germany vs Uruguay on Saturday, and Spain vs Holland on Sunday. Go, Orange!

Haha, yesterday someone posted a photo-shopped picture of it being the other way around.
I thought they wouldn't let the octopus predict the outcome of ES Vs. NL until tomorrow?
Apparently a psychic parakeet predicted a Dutch victory......

The psychic camel from Kazakhstan (awkward Google translation) also says Holland will win.

That's as maybe, but it looks like Paul my have to go into hiding; it seems unfair but there have been death-threats ... something about sautéing in butter and garlic I believe

Only for their whole oeuvre - bringing up so many good players and trainers over the years, football concepts and football intelligence- The Netherlands deserves the world title.
Spain is a great football country, but a lot of their progression is based on dutch school tactics.
The two best countries certainly reach this final, I expect an attractive game with two teams giving everything they have.

La Celeste for the medals today!!!
I know you've all been wondering about this, but how does Clogger van Bommel get away with kicking opponents from one end of the pitch to the other without yellow cards, getting sent off etc, etc? I mean he's being doing this for years!
Well today in my beloved hometown newspaper the Manchester Grauniad, there's an explanation: "I always try to talk to a referee," he says. "Once I asked a ref where he bought his groceries and I told him where he could get them cheaper. He let me off another foul and then five games later asked me about another shop. You just need to chat with these guys." I wonder if Howard Webb will be in a talkative mood tomorrow...
Spain for me tomorrow BTW. The Netherlands don't match up well. I think Holland - Germany would have been different though.
