The Uruguayans rode their luck almost too far; finally they're OUT. . .some consolation after Ghana's QF disappointment. Holland did not play too well though. They did just enough. . . .

I love the Netherlands. . .they really made those losers pay. grin

But, I'm beginning to wonder why the Uruguay players weren't crying, makes me think they knew they would lose the match. grin

Anyway, I love Arjen Robben. . . grin

why do yakubu and obasi fail to have the same kind of luck.
yakubu is too fat. he cannot get to the position where the lucky cake is being distributed. you have to be in the position to receive luck. you can take a camel to the river but you cannot force it to drink.

I really cant understand how Holland just made the final. They've just been okay, they'vent really played too well

Anyone noticed how since 2002 the quality of World Cup footie has gone steadily downhill?
This year is definitely the worst. Apart from Germany's great form, everyone else have just been all hype and little else.

I believe teams like Holland, Germany and Spain rely mostly on team work and not individual brilliance.
Ghana would have played better than the Uruguayans in this semi-final match.

therein lies their genius. they make it look so easy. like they are not giving any effort. this is the same team that knocked off brazil.

That's simply because Germany kicked the butts of the England team.

Trust him, he isn't happy until Germany is eliminated from the World Cup and we know that isn't happening. grin

Cause Klose, Ozil, Bastian .S. and Podolski aren't done. grin

Absolutely spot on. Remember Spain 82 or Mexico 86 or even Italian 90. Those were classic.

I agree apart from Germany, the other teams look like they dont want to be in South Africa. Holland have had it all too easy. Even their team in France 98 and Euro 2000 were better than this.

I really am disappointed in this world cup

Many countries have ditched their traditions to pursue results.
The argument has always been there - football results or beautiful football.

The best football team ever is the Selecao of 82 - Tele Santana's Brazilian team.
Jeeeeeez. . . . . .watching that team play would give you eyegasm. grin

Yeah i agree. The Brazilians were magic but the drabbest team Italia ended up lifting the cup. Paolo Rossi comes to mind. He was anonymous before the tournament but sprang to life during it. Guys were rooting for the Brazilians then, Dr Socrates, Zico and Falcao.

Dude should give up already and just love Germany for the good players they are and not the seemingly overrated, overpaid English losers. grin

Tomorrow when Germany beats Spain, I would be checking out the priceless expression on the face of Steve McManaman.

We were not spoilt with satellite tv as there is today. So no, i sorrily watched recorded matches. I cant remember if the then NTA showed any of the matches live.

AjanleKoko:

LOL.
Problem is, in the next couple of months, WC will be over.
And Schweinsteiger, Muller, Klose, etc, will go right back to being bossed around by CR9, Rooney, Messi, and co.
Though I hear Jose is looking for Bastian sha.

How come a month before the world cup Schweinsteiger, Muller, Klose were playing the CL finals while CR9, Rooney and Messi were watching on TV?
Re: Netherlands Vs Uruguay: [3 - 2] @ World Cup 2010 Semis by snowdrops(m): 10:23pm On Jul 06, 2010
Schweinsteiger has never really being anonymous. His problem has been injury and unsavoury lifestyle. I wonder why any of the big clubs never took real notice of him before the world cup.

brazil had a doctor on their soccer roster ?

also you have to remember that you are the victim of 'optical illusion'. When a white person (recessive color) wears orange ( weak color) their is an optical illusion created in your mind to the point where it does not matter what that person does and how good they do it, they still look like a bunch of pansys running around. now remember the long ball posessions they had in the uruguay half when they were passing the ball around, probing, dribbling etc for what seemed like forever, try to imagine that the people doing that are tanned or black people in dark colored jerseys, picture in your mind how dominant they will look ? This is why black people always look good on the ball even if they are not doing much with it but white people dont look too good but will still win. then you start wondering, why the hell did those white boys win ? we were dominant and looked good on the ball. we ran them around like a bunch of runaway slaves, what happened ?, yeah its all an illusion. your mind is playing tricks on you.

I saw the tape on VHS this weekend and that Brazilian team cannot be equalled - the 1970 team would get close though.
The brand of football was brilliant. I am not sure they learnt how to defend cos they often passed their way out of dangerous situation at the back.
Eder, Falcao, Zico, Dr. Socrates, Junior, etc. The only useless player they had was Serginho. . . . .The nucca was useless. grin

But the same Schweini, Muller and Klose were beaten by a team of Milito(Argentina), Cambiasso(World Cup reject) in the UCL final.
Just because Schweini and Muller played in the UCL final does not mean they are better than Rooney, CR9 and Messi.

Drogba crashed out in the group stage but he's better than any striker Germany has produced in the last decade. grin

@ buzugee

Yes they had one. He is a medical doctor. Can you imagine. I loved him, tall lanky and all bearded like a professor.

On the second point, i dont think medjai was knocking the dutch based on the colour of their skin.
Re: Netherlands Vs Uruguay: [3 - 2] @ World Cup 2010 Semis by vescucci(m): 10:36pm On Jul 06, 2010

lol i would love to see a picture of this dr socrates.

oh and my other point was not a color thing. i was emphasizing on how your illusion can make you think a team is not doing well when they actually are
