I chose Dutch over Deutch and I was happy with my choice. Now let's see the Dutch kick some Spanish ass, hopefully.

I'm game, though fawning over Dutch football qualities might eventually get tiring.Jack_Uzi said:Hehe... good idea (just walking my warming-up rounds nowSpinozaad said:). Might be the first and last one. A team like this is quite rare for us.
What am I saying? Of course it won't, not if they win.
And you know what's even better? If we win, and even if we lose, we're finally rid of the Generations 70's. Finally, none of us will ever have to fake taken Van Hanegem serious, finally we'll have a coach who can actually prove he's a greater tactical football genius than Cruijff.zala-taichou said:I'm game, though fawning over Dutch football qualities might eventually get tiring.Jack_Uzi said:Hehe... good idea (just walking my warming-up rounds nowSpinozaad said:

Whatever happens, that'll happen for sure!
-edit-
Also, on the "cheating" in football. Suarez did not cheat. In football goals are made, not deserved. It's not unsportsmanlike either. In football, you strife to win the match within the rules. Suarez made the conscious choice to beat the ball away, and did not doubt his punishment.
Send off with a red, plus a penalty kick.
That Ghana failed to make the penalty is their own fault.
I do think that football needs camera's in the posts, but nothing more. What we don't want is a game that slows down to a grind (but hey, more time for commercials, right? I'm looking at you, American "football") and a snorefest in which there's five minutes of bullshittery for every ten seconds of play.
But camera's in the goalposts is fair enough. But I do not think it should be employed for every little foul or offside.
Fuck yeah Spain!
although I do like the Netherlands too, so I guess I'm pretty neutral.
But THE GOD DAMNED FISH FORGOT HIS SPOILER TAG!

Yeah, a few days ago he predicted that Spain would win the World Cup.Ekit said:
There's a chance for the Netherlands, though... the one and only time Paul has ever been wrong was the EuroCup finale two years ago, so maybe he's wrong on this finale, too.
More importantly, though (at least for me!), today Paul predicted that Germany would beat Urugay in the match for 3rd place!
Apparently Paul is getting death threats now. Both from Argentines and Germans (although it doesn't say specifically who in the article, that's what I've heard).

You'd think they'd blame their own team for losing, but apparently idiocy spreads like wildfire.

Eh, idiots will be idiots, it's the same with every country in the world. As for myself, I joined a group on the German student network called "Save Paul from the kitchen". ^^FinalHeart95 said:
Luckily the psychic octopus has bipedal supporters/followers who might manage abducting Mani and... accidentally drop him into an aquarium tank. Or something like that.Spinozaad said:
