2010 World Cup Thread

For a 0-0 game, the second half was pretty entertaining....

 

...if you like two choker nations trying to out-choke the other.

 

If Robben had any sort of right foot, he touches around Casillas and finishes the 1st breakaway.

 

Iniesta was lucky to not get tossed. Webb has done well to control a pretty cynical/physical match

Hoping for no penalty kicks at this point.

The one time Robben doesn't go down.

If that's not a textbook case of "boy who cried wolf" I don't know what is.

I wanna see penalty kicks just to see the Dutch dying inside (they lost by penalties in the WC of 1998 and the ECs of 1992, 1996 and 2000, of course not always in the finals).

If the Netherlands pulls this one out before PKs, they'll be only the second team to win 7 games in the same World Cup (Brazil 2002).

Iniesta is inflicted with Robben syndrome. He's just refusing to shoot.

How many one-on-one opportunities are they going to choke?

that time they actually had a mini 3-on-1... he should've dished off to his left.

Navas is killing it. He's playing great today. Edited July 11, 2010 by soccer10k

Iniesta, one of the Spanish players.

[USSoccer]

I don't think Andres Iniesta knows how to shoot.

[Outshined_One]

Villa subbed out for Torres?

 

Alright then.

Navas has played better than anyone on the pitch today.

 

Wow surprised Villa is coming out incase it goes to penalties.

Spain's only got one player left on the field who took a penalty in Euro 2008 against Italy and that's Fabregas. Villa also took and made one.

It's politically incorrect to call them Holland? what was that about

[Butterscup1679666578]

well crap

[TruffleShuffle]

went down pretty easily there

Well, I doubt it since they call themselves Holland half the time...

[Outshined_One]

Holland refers to a region in the Netherlands. It'd be like calling the United States "the Midwest".

Ineista is dropping every chance he gets. Holland needs to play with every man back for the next 8 minutes.
