I find it funny how the original poster totally called Spain and Holland in the finals a month ago. Me thinks we have a fortune teller on our hands...

I'm hoping for a win from Spain or Holland, I enjoy both those teams. I also hope France get knocked out early and Thierri Henri gets booed off the pitch (apologies French Escapists... Irish man here, I still love your country)
Good call, fine sir. Originally I picked Argentina, but my #2 pick to win the tourney was Spain, so we'll see how it ends up. Overall, it was an excellent tournament with the French drama, US doing not that bad, Italy sent home early, and a somewhat shocker from Uruguay. Can't wait until four years from now when we can watch it all over again. Italy better come back with a better team.

I'm rooting for the Netherlands to win the final because I'm part Dutch and I might as well root for one of the lands of my ancestors because my home country got knocked out on a heart breaker. I also wanted Germany to win today's match because I am mostly ethnically German (by pluarlity). Should be a good match tomorrow. Go Dutch!

Don't feed the troll.

Germany won, and so did Paul the octopus. All of Germany's matches were fun to watch.
Uruguay and Paraguay turned out to get the better results than Brazil and Argentina. Nice World Cup. And Spain will win. Though I actually would like Holland to win because they played the best Football in the Euro 2008 and then got kicked out. Like Germany this time.

Yes, let us not feed the troll. Non-contact sports like basketball, sports played by fatties like baseball and sports where nothing happens but beer commercials (NFL is BORING)are so much more 'manly', aaaight.

The Netherlands will win. Everyone's claiming that Spain is playing good possession football, and they are.

But they aren't that dominating, either. They're playing the same game Holland plays, but they are less killer than Van Bommel or De Jong. If those guys manage to lock Xavi and Xabi Alonso, Spain is without a spine.

Bud the Wise = Super Fail/Trolling.

Anywho, even though America's out, I've continued to keep up with the world cup. I'm glad Germany took 3rd and I'm hoping for Holland to pull out a win!

Netherlands for the World Cup!

I do care about soccer...might be why I'm commenting on a soccer thread (imagine that!).

Netherlands to win 1-0 with a goal by Sneijder in the...74th minute. All of the Netherlands rejoice. Hup Holland!

America always gets kicked out. You guys are on the way up though, unlike Canadians.

GO NETHERLANDS!

Actually, I'd love to see either team win. It'll be an excellent game to watch I think. Both teams have played fantastic in this tournament.

How'd you come up with that? I mean, if that happens, I don't want to scare you, but you might be Jesus

Or even Paul the octopus!

Seriously, I'm wrong 99% of the time, the 1% I'm right means minds will be blown!

Dude, the ref needs to fucking send De Jong off the field. The bastard tried to kick a hole clean through that Spaniard's chest. Seriously, probably the most definite red card I have ever seen.

-EDIT- This is not a World Cup finale. This is Super Soccer Brothers Brawl.

-EDIT 2- One of the poorest matches of the entire World Cup so far. At times it seems more like a half-assed bar brawl instead of a supposedly world-class soccer match. Both teams have failed spectacularly in impressing the fans up to this point in the match, and I think I can safely say that had Spain played the way they're doing today, Germany would be in this match right now instead.

I'm from holland, and I agree. That kick was insane. The replay was fun though, everyone in the room yelled "THIS IS SPARTA". Great fun!

Match isn't really exciting yet, but I think it's going to end up being pretty tense. I just pray that there isn't any extra time or penalties. Since I have to get up early in the morning for work, and my boss loves soccer about as much as Bud the Wise does.

And good thing, too, because if not for the whole karate, it would be pretty boring.
Seriously though, really fucking dirty game.
Van Bommel finally got his yellow card he has been working on this whole tournament.
And yet, the Netherlands are the better side, imo. Still, I think the Spanish are going to win.

De Jong should have had a red card!!

That's another bad ref call to add to the pile...

To be honest the ref has had a good game. I'm not sure if you're biased towards one team or the other, but you can't just send players off over a single tackle unless it is horrific, especially in the final because then the game is ruined...

It WAS horrific! Didn't you see that foul?! De Jong performed a goddamn karate kick to a Spaniard's sternum! Add a fuckton of momentum and those nasty soccer shoe crampons to the mix and yes, that definitely qualifies as horrific!

The match isn't over yet, but I'd like to state two things:
1) I like the Netherlands better, but they're pretty equal so it can go to anyone.
2) Howard Webb is absolutely dreadful tonight, probably setting some kind of record for minor bad calls in a match.

Ugh, extra time. I hate this.
Damn exciting match though. Atleast I can now safely decide which martial arts I want to practice. I couldn't decide between a couple, but Soccer is turning out to be the winner (not counting Shaq Fu ofcourse, that reigns surpreme).
