I suggest you to start watching yesterday's match a couple of times, and when you understand what happened there you won't need further explanations about this game called football (the first thing you must learn is to call things by its right name).

You will learn that football is not a single player matter, the importance of the midfield and the back, and why you must love and treat right the ball (you must do artistic softcore, not amateur hardcore)

I dont like to talk with the advantage of hindsight, but I said it here before: Spain is the best team playing football. Maybe we'll lose the final (I don't really think so) but we won't renounce to play the way we know, a magical way never seen before.

Congrats to Spain

they have played yesterday very good football and i think if they play that way on sunday they will beat netherland

but if we (Germany) played the same as against Argentina... i think the result would have been another...

But it s a game and infact the better team have won yesterday

3 weeks ago when Spain lost their first game against Switzerland, we had this discussion:

Spain proved they are a candidate after the comeback. We Germans had our game against Spain.
There was a chance to win, but we didn't take it. Somehow, I knew before, that Germany has to win
against Spain in order to get the Cup this year. I thought Germany and Spain play at one eye-level
and my hope was for a lucky winner Germany, but yesterday Spain showed us they are one step
ahead. Now I'll keep my fingers crossed for Spain and predict Netherlands vs. Spain 0:2.

On Saturday Uruguay vs Germany will be 0:3 and Klose will score his 2 goals to take the lead in
the eternal list of top scorers.

OK, as long as you don't stop goals with hands...
In my opinion the game for 3rd place should rather be a Ghana vs. Germany.
The World Cup deserved an African team in top 4 this year.

If you still considere a legal goal stopped by hand .....congratulations....


In this match once again.....another rob....
Luis Suarez shouldn't be sent out.....
Are referees following instructions from someone to make damage to Uruguay?......

Pff dude, really.. After every Uruguay-game you come up with excuses and accusations to the opponents. Why do you keep crying about the referees and "robbing", while the biggest scam of this world cup was from the hands (!) of a player of Uruguay, which actually was the only of all these actions that was deliberate.
Also, I'd really like if you'd stop calling your opponents "robbers" (especially when it comes to the Sneijder goal, which was no off-side). The mistake is made by the referee, not the players. What would you expect in a player to do in such a situation? Go up to the ref and beg him to come back on his decision? Come on..
One time, the ref decides in your advantage, the other time he does not. Of course, a video-referee should straighten this out. So I think you should aim your anger at the FIFA, not the opposing teams.
So please, stop saying things like "if this is the way you want to win a game..", "Holland will never be a champion", or even stuff like "cry Ghana cry". I don't think things like that contribute to the good atmosphere on this forum in any way.

Likewise, I will congratulate Spain when they win. I'll even be happy for them when they do. Because you know what? It's just a game; not worth fighting over.

Of course. I mean, England is still laughing about the that robbed goal against the germans.
We mexicans can live with that first ilegal goal from Argentina.
Saetyr is right. Is just a game, enjoy it man! This should be a great weekend!

I am glad Spain won, i love the way they pass the ball...

I geniunly can't predict who will win the final. One min i think Holland the next i think Spain.

I just hope it's a good game

Just seen that there will be an englishman in the final!

Howard Webb will be referee'n the game

And a mexican (Armando Archundia) will be the referee on the Uruguay - Germany match

Thanks South Africa !!!

GREAT WORLD CUP !

This will be the first time a European team will get the Cup outside of Europe.


I did predict Netherlands for final but not Spain (they lost against Switzerland, who is Switzerland? )

Great Cup, I can not wait for that Vuvuzelas next weekend...

Well Done Spain. I hope the octopus lives to predict another result!

Keeping up with my poor predictions, I reckon Torres wont score the winner in the final

Octopus Paul predicted the Dutch to win the cup, no?

Although I have predicted Spain to lose each of their last 4 matches (!), I will stand by my pre-tournament prediction of Holland to win their first world cup. So that means Spain will win!!
