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...
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.MiracleOfSound said: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)
How'd you come up with that? I mean, if that happens, I don't want to scare you, but you might be JesusCK76 said: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!

And good thing, too, because if not for the whole karate, it would be pretty boring.Sonicron said: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.
Someone needs to edit this together RIGHT NOW!Royta said:"THIS IS SPARTA"
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...Ekit said:De Jong should have had a red card!!
That's another bad ref call to add to the pile...
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!D_987 said:To be honest the ref has had a good game.

Erm, you want alot of red cards?JourneyThroughHell said: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.
