The simulation instruction manual
*************************
Step 1: When there's contact (?), assume a truck just hit you
- No matter how minimal (or non-existent) the contact was from the defender, always assume that either a) an 18-wheeler just ran you over or b) you and your boat were just capsized by the Exxon Valdez. This will get you in the perfect frame of mind to continue the sequence.
Step 2: Jump no lower than four (4) feet into the air
- For this step, imagine you're competing in the high jump event at the Olympics. Because the air time you get, the more serious it looks.
Step 3: Pretend you are Superman
- Nothing says "legitimate" more than fully extending your arms while you are parallel to the ground.
Step 4: Produce a scream that shakes the pillars of Olympus
- Create in your heart the same anguish you feel when someone just ahead of you in line orders the final doughnut of your favourite flavour. Scream accordingly.
Step 5: Hit the ground and roll six (6) times
- Any more will look really ridiculous. Any less means you're really hurt.
Step 6: Vigorously wave the trainer over
- Remember parts in war movies when a horribly-maimed soldier waves a medic over? Do that. It will remind the referee of those movies, and he will say "wow, just like in those war films! He must be really hurt." Bonus points if you call for the stretcher. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the trainer brings the magic spray!!
Step 7: Pretend you are knocked out and/or dead.
- For this step, imagine you're in the middle of a very heavy nap. Or, even better, fall asleep for real.
Step 8: Keep eyes closed. Ask trainer about family.
- You will look like you're explaining how hurt you are.
Step 9: Hold head in hands when helped/carried off pitch.
- It will seem like you are really sad that your career might be over. Also has the added benefit of covering up any case of the giggles you might have, which would probably not help your cause too much.
Step 10: Time for Magic Spray!
- Let the trainer treat you with his Magic Spray, which, through its combined ingredients of pressurized water and air, will heal you miraculously.
Step 11: Return to the pitch. With amnesia.
- When waved into play again, run back onto the pitch in a full sprint, as if nothing happened. When opposing players question your motives, say "injury? What injury? I don't remember that." This will make them think that you may be playing with a concussion.
Final Note: For Pete's sake, don't actually hurt yourself!
- You don't need me to tell you that injuring yourself while simulating a foul would be highly painful and embarrassing.

A Netherlands - Germany final would be... interesting. I don't think there are two football countries that have as much of a rivalry between them as those two have.

I'd say the football rivalry between Germany and England is quite a bit more pronounced than that between Germany and Holland.

I hope it's all over tonight, or I might go move to a country that does not play soccer
Dreadfull colour, orange, especially when your whole street is clad with it
it's not as bad as this but getting worse everyday.
btw, even the Germans think Holland will win the WC
(scroll down and fill in the poll to see the results)

blame Uruguay for waiting until the very last minute to start playing, no wonder the ref didn't end it ><
