  1. So New-Zealand is the only unbeaten team at the WC. 8-)
  2. Ever watched any hurling?
  3. Whatever happened to objective journalism? :lol: Casillas interview on Spanish TV Don't worry, that's his girlfriend
  4. Based on what I saw from a very young Chile in South-Africa, they could be scary good in four years.
  5. The game plan was too negative; they were fouling way too much and too eagerly. If anything, the red card came surprisingly late. The best team (also the most positive team) won.
  6. I have a meeting with my Dutch colleagues tomorrow morning. Better be on my best behaviour. O:)
  7. Kinda cool they are relaying this thread to the benches in SA. 8-) Tim probably relayed it down there for me. :lol: :lol: Tim's our man.

  9. Heitinga living dangerously there
  10. Food for thought: of all the players in the WC final, no less than 17 were formed as teenagers at the academies of Ajax (9) and Barcelona (8). Ajax: Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Elia, Heitinga, De Jong, Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel and Babel Barca: Valdés, Piqué, Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro and Fabregas.
  11. 'Psychic' octopus predicts Spain to win World Cup With this knowledge, I guess there's no longer any need to actually play the match on Sunday. :wink:
  12. Good move for them and a good move for Gallagher - here's hoping they let him start.
  13. Klejstan was the only Anderlecht player (other than the goalkeeper) to play the full 90 minutes in a warm-up game in Austria against Rumanian champions Cluj. That is a good sign, imho.
  14. Very interesting game, won by the most deserving team.
  15. Puyol obliges (very nice header)
  16. Good article. I would still like him as a replacement for Bradley. Would MLS go for his approach?
  17. It certainly made me laugh. Luckily, the original link in Italian was there as well.
  18. Either would have a great draw for a Cup final that hasn't been seen in recent memory. Either someone's winning it for the first time, or two hated rivals go at it. FWIW, the Dutch desperately want to win it against Germany. 8-)
  19. No estimates from me for the beer consumption north of the border tonight. :lol: Looking forward to an interesting game tomorrow.
  20. to be fair, how many world cups have been played anywhere but Europe or South America? This is the fourth ETA: make that five - Mexico hosted twice
  21. sorry, we can't all be jerks like you. No need to get personal - that goes for both of you.
  22. Me too, because Spain were my favourites from the start, although I admit the psychology of a Germany-Holland match up would be truly epic (the Orange army would go nuts)
  23. I was exposed to Orange Madness at a rock festival yesterday; the most hilarious moment of the day was when celebrations broke out all over the grounds after the final score was flashed on the info screens. Paramore was on stage and clearly didn't know what had happened or why all these people dressed in orange were celebrating like mad. And that was just the Dutch contingent that had stayed for the music. A vast Orange Army had temporarily left the festival grounds to go watch the game in the pubs in Leuven. Their return later in the day didn't go unnoticed. 8-) And I'm not even going to try to estimate the beer consumption in Leuven yesterday afternoon. :wink:
  24. This game needs a goal by Spain to break open.
  25. Blatter has an alternate solution to the use of technology: http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2010/06/28/illusie1.jpg.c135.135.jpg
