Was a good game, 3rd place seems to be a good match (Germany hammered Portugal in 2006 which was also very entertaining).
Come on Holland!
Come on Holland!
Christ are my eyes decieving me are are there loads of empty black seats?
Thou the england team were far from deserving of a place in the final, you could argue their supporters are - they'd fill that stadium without question.
There's even a fair few England flags on display tonight as it goes.

much as i've loved Holland as a second footballing nation for all these years, this lot are doing there best to make a sh*t world cup end on a particularly sh*tty note.
come on spain!
come on spain!
They didn't understand the rules not the team with the most yellow cards wins but the team who shots the most GOALS
lol the dutch are moaning at a ref who allowed them to commit what was practically criminal assault in the first 45mins.
grats spain
in the end, the best team in the world - probably - won it.

Kinda annoying game. Too many fouls and maybe not the fairest outcome.
But Germany lost against the "best" team (so nothing to be ashamed of)

Ah **** it. While Spain totally deserved it, I still hate them all except for Casillas. Such a bunch of whiney drama queens which drop after the slighiest contact and act as if someone shot them in the leg with a pistol. I mean in general and not in the first 45min of this match where of course they could've easily gotten a few red cards.
Quite a bit of diving from Spain there - against which the ref gave yellow cards. Also, that was offside right before the goal. They didn't whistle for that. Really the ref sucked here. So many cards.
Oh well. ****. Spain played well.
Oh well. ****. Spain played well.
I don't think they'll whistle offside unless the ball goes past the defenders. Initially it was an offside, but it was didn't go to the guys offside and by the time the pass went through it hadn't been an offside anymore for few seconds.
what and aryen robbin isn't just about the worst diving cheat in the modern game?
No-one plays an attack minded, possession passing game anything like as good as the spainish.
In light of this, if they do go to ground a bit easily (and bare in mind they were kicked all over the park tonight) so be it.
look, if you don't want world cup football with diving, cheating, revelling in deliberate handballs that pay off, trying to get players booked/sent off and other unsportsmanlike behaviour then frankly only include English speaking nations.
Unfortunately, English speaking nations are crap so, you know, you gotta live with it.
disclaimer - in all fairness, the german team was very sportsmanlike this year.

I thought that was exceptionally boring, and ugly.
Missed oppertunities, and all the needless falling down and acting like they've been shot etc from both teams.
I only recently saw footage of Valentino Rossi after he had an exposed fracture with bone protruding from the skin of his lower leg after coming off his bike at Mugello and he made less of a fuss than any of the girls playing today after someone brushed passed them.
The one problem I find with major tournaments is that by the time they're over I quite honeslty have had enough of how footballers are just complete ****ing fannies.
Hearing the pundits afterwards go on and on about how good Spain were was annoying. Four 1-0 victories on the trot. Oh yeah they're a great advert for football as a means of entertainment "oh look at the pretty passing"...

Well, the only reason they act that way is because it works. The refs eat that flopping crap up, so naturally it's now part of the game. Real sportsmanship be damned.
Major tourneys such as the World Cup need to have instant replay so you can keep these idiotic refs under control. Yeah it may cause a few too many stoppages, but for a tourney so large and seemingly 'important', I think it might be worth it. Take this years Cup... you'd have a totally different outcome if instant replay were used several times during the entire event.
edit - btw, congrats Spain. I was rooting for the Dutch.
