World Cup 2010

Hollands team talk:

"Van Bommel, you kick the shit out of Xavi and Iniesta"

lmao :thumb:

Bommel and de Jong :thumb: I hope they can contain Spain's midfield next sunday.

 

[Pittsey]

Low made no real mistakes imo. Maybe he should've started with Kroos instead of Trochowski.



Perhaps, but a squad should pick these things up themselves as well. Can we really blame the coach for a marking failure?

I think not.

The Germans wouldn't even have gotten this far without Low.

He put a midfielder on at left back. His marking isn't going to come as natural. He also would struggle against Puyol who is great in the air. I don't think it was a good substitution. If he wanted to win the game he should have put Gomes on alongside Klose a bit earlier. But if you ask me, he felt pressured by the 0-0 and needed to push the game.

Aye.

Jansen is no stranger playing at left back, though. We can't say whose fault it was that Puyol could come in unhindered, because we don't know the organization of the Germans in detail. We can only guess what the agreements were at corners and such.

Spain gonna beat holland mark my words lol (Y)

 

[Flipmo]

I predicted the Dutch to go all the way before the tourny started. I will stick to my guns.

PAUL THE SQUID AINT GOT SHIT ON ME

 

[exrp765]

im putting my money on spain... they better not draw at full time tho loll

only reason really is cause im brazilian and i also hate van bommel with a passion....

other than that theyre good ... loll but i gotta choose sides

 

[Pittsey]

I'll be supporting the Dutch.

 

[Duke]

If your previous predictions are in any way indicative, I'm very happy you're choosing Spain.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Now imagine actually being German and have this happen about every tournament the last 22 years.

Welcome to the world of the Dutch. :thumb:

Italia 90 was 20 years ago and Euro 96 was 14 years ago

 

[2Pax]

Spain are odds on favourites at the bookies, Holland are too badly priced at 11/8. Think I'm going to put a few quid on Holland.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Howard Webb will referee the final.

I know, that's not what I meant. Rukas was sad Germany didn't win when he's not even German and the Germans already won 3 world cups and took the Euro's in '96.

What do we Dutch have? One EC 22 years ago.

 

[Flipmo]

The way it's here is.

Netherlands 3.40
Draw 3.20
Spain 2.10

-----

For the 3rd place match

Uruguay 5.00
Draw 3.55
Germany 1.65

 

[Pittsey]

Howard Webb will referee the final.

Easily been the best official.

 

[Bobby Sands]

oh sorry Duke lol. didnt realise you were being sarcastic.

yea the Germans have won their fair share and they may well win it again in the near future with the talent they have coming through.l

 

[Flipmo]

I know, that's not what I meant. Rukas was sad Germany didn't win when he's not even German and the Germans already won 3 world cups and took the Euro's in '96.

Cock sucker Swede ref fucked us over in 96 against the Krauts. Hope he became a black-tar heroin addict.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Easily been the best official.

yea he is good when Man Utd arent involved

 

[Duke]

Spain are obviously a great side, but I don't understand why everyone talks so highly of them. They only scored 7 goals this tournament, they didn't have any "fight back" matches, they took mostly 1-0 wins.

They're superb in midfield but not very dangerous once they get near the box. Villa is obviously their main man, Torres is hopelessly out of form.

Kick Villa out and you got them beat for 50%.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

well done spain. the final will be interesting and either team will win their first ever world cup.
