Exactly my thoughts. They are not their usual selves so they might well win the World Cup in the end

i would'nt be surprised hoori, u know they always start very well but when it matters u dont see them bec they have given everything when it least mattered but this holland is pretty different they win with the least effort.

Winning the games with the least effort is different from winning the games with lucky goals. Holland did never have the game secured both against Denmark and Japan. They were pretty poor in both games.

Two pretty ordinary performances from Netherlands, but it's six points I guess. I think they'll have to improve a lot later on. Shit goal to win it, whether it was the keeper or the ball moving it was crap either way, looked a bit of bad technique and a swerve but really, should have been saved. Netherlands need Robben back and fit, they are slow and ponderous otherwise.

Japan need to play slightly more offensively, I expect them to against Denmark. Okazaki should have done better with his chance, the strikers will make or break Japan. Afellay should also have done a lot better, two missed one on ones on the counter.

By the way, there really is something wrong with the ball. There have been far too many blunders. But even more annoying is that players have a lot of difficulties with passing. It makes games so much more random.

Yet Enyeama was being championed over the forum, and Kawashima has had a very good World Cup too.

that in its self is a new face for holland may be it might finally pay up for there previous disappointments. also i dont think holland came up against teams that can really create massive trouble for holland. true japan almost drew but japan is still not that kind of big team that has a lot of other options to score.

When is Robben gonna play?

Prime example was where Tulio controlled the ball on the second saved Afellay chance and it bounced five feet away and nearly in the net, it's shit.

Now let's see Ghana in action.
Go Ghana.

There might be something wrong with the ball, I was only messing around.

BUT todays goal was all Kawashima's mistake.

Yep. Sneijder himself is saying on Dutch tv that the ball is crap and that that was the reason it went in. He literally said "when you hit it right, it can go just about anywhere".

Anyways, it's probably part of the reason why the favorites suck (after all they have to play much more of a passing game because they're generally the attacking side).

What? Screw Ghana, the last thing Serbia needs is their fucking win.

I'm inclined to agree but I really hate it. I've seen Japanese goalies make that error several times, if Buffon does it I'll go crazy

the only reason i might sell off ghana and support australia is if the future MRS ahmed/Bisco is in the stands

Ghana and Serbia will both beat Australia. Which is the way it has to be. Ghana will also beat Germany, so both Ghana and Serbia will go through.
