[WC] World Cup 2010 - General Talk Thread (31 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

I was not around the last World Cup.

To be fair though watching Zidane was a joy so atleast you had something to look forward too because there is not one Spanish player that is anywhere near Zidane. Atleast the Germany-Italy semi final was entertaining not like this drab I witnessed today.

Sure, I loved watching Zizou as well. But France wasn't a great team. I'd say they got lucky to get past Brazil in the quarters.

In 2006, the majority of the knockout matches were 1-0 finishes. France were masters at the 1-0 scoreline. Spain has done the same this time around, but they are receiving more heat than France in 2006. I'd ask the question why, but it's very obvious why.

But this happens almost every year, just look at Argentina in 2006.

Hopefully Argentina will never ever win a World Cup again.

Holland won't play the final against the hosts this time. They must win then

Aaron, I preferred the way Germans played throughout the tournament.

I wanted Germany to win as well, I felt their consistency should finally be rewarded.

If my consolation is a final between Spain and Holland I'll take, that's just too rich!

It isn't so much fun when there aren't people on the other side of the spectrum. Does nobody like this Spanish team??


Will make for some dull atmosphere on here in the final.

Im deciding yet, ill have my verdict tomorrow

Germany and Holland have switched places at this year's tournament.

Holland have played quite cautious football and been low-key and unconvincing in a lot of games, but made the final.

Germany have played some great, fast, attacking football, but fallen short.

Talk about a lack of class. Their manager wears two watches.

You know why they are but I can assure you those views are not my own.

Portugal is missing in this final!

 

[JCK]

Talk about a lack of class. Their manager wears two watches.

And scratches his balls in front of millions.

I hope Casillas and Stekelenburg have a contest of who can give up the most own goals in 90 minutes.

This final had better at least be entertaining.

 

[Bjerknes]

That's because many people here actually liked one of the teams in that final(fanboys as you'd call them). This time, there are a couple of Dutch fans(Ken and Martin) and maybe a few Spanish fans. I'm sure that if this was a Barca forum, people here would be creaming their pants at the Final 2 teams.

Certainly.

And I don't know of any Spain supporters here.

Del busque' sunsituations were hillarious, Torres for Villa... And Silva for Pedro! Pedro should have taken off the pitch earlier since he did nothing special, and Villa could have played till the end. They got to their purpose though. But Spain could beat Germans' ass with more than 1 goal, at least scoring 2 goals were fuckin' easy for bullfighters...

Germans were completely scared, nervous and disturbed. They weren't themselves IMO.

 

[king Ale]

I think both Spain and Holland deserve to be in final. I mean, now that they are in final, they must have deserved it. Holland beat Brazil, everyone's favorites to win the World Cup, and Spain beat the best team of the tournament.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Bloody Spanish Posers

 

[Enron]

The final was yes. However Zidane was a joy to watch all the tournament same with Cannavaro. SPain and Holland have scraped through games neither with an outstanding player in their ranks. Granted Sneijder and Villa have both scored goals but neither have been as to watch.

Brazil vs Germany would of been the best final this year.

I didn't get to see France until the final. They were always playing when I worked.

This final had better at least be entertaining.

I guarantee it.

 

[Bjerknes]

So wait, Klose still has 14, right?

 

[Bjerknes]

Bloody Spanish Posers

Who are they posing to be?

 

[Nicholas]

So wait, Klose still has 14, right?

Yes the only good thing that happened tonight that he did not beat R9's record because that would of been an insult.

 

[king Ale]

So wait, Klose still has 14, right?

Two goals to overtake Ronaldo's record?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Certainly.

Exactly. You can NEVER have a Final that pleases everyone, unless you're strictly a neutral and don't favour or like ANY team, which IMO is impossible. Only certain groups, fans, communities will truly love the teams in a Final. Sadly, it's not Juventuz this time.
