What type of crack are you smoking there dippin, or do you really just have no idea of what it is you're watching when you see a football game? Holland is a great team and played dominant over Brazil and Uruguay. Uruguay came close in the final minutes but that was it. They're inability to defend Dutch attacks lost them the game. I don't even like the Dutch but I'm saying it because I watched most of the game (second half at least) and that's plain to see. And as for your insult towards Italy's championship team in the last cup, I laugh. The talent on that team was ridiculous. They didn't concede a goal between their first few games and the finals. End of story.
Additionally, you seem to think that a game has been totally invalidated by a referee missing an offside call? I hate to break it to you but soccer is an imperfect sport and it's something you have to accept. If a team is good they'll prevail. I could have got on here bitching about Slovakia's 2nd goal on Italy - in the reply you can clearly see the first corner they took was deflected out by a Slovak, thus they should never have been awarded the second corner which led to their 2nd goal. But at the end of the day my team played like shit so fuck them, that's their fault for dropping the ball...
that's soccer.
In other news I was really happy to win lots of money today when I chose Spain over Germany. Everyone I talked to thought otherwise. That was an impressive display Spain put on, although I still feel the Netherlands have a strong chance given their deadly counter attacks, and Spain's lack of finish. Methinks it should be a good final!
