now that I have seen the game that I recorded.... YES!!!!

:dancewookiee:

Congrats. I was waiting for your reaction. lol.

Not sure who I'm going to root for today. Germany or Spain? This is the only WC game that didn't involve the U.S. that I'm really jacked up for. Both these teams have impressed me quite a bit throughout the tournament. I have no idea who I want to win.

I am hoping for Spain to win 5-3 and Villa has 3 and Torres has two. But also for a hat trick from German Defender Philip Lahm (since they are on my fantasy team ) Then I want the score of the final to be 6-5 Netherlands, with Sneijder scoring all 6 and Villa scoring all 5

I'm rooting for the Germans because I hate the Lakers. Fuck Pau Gasol. Hey, it's a reach, but I had to find someone to root for.

On another note, I read Bill Simmons column on the WC the other day. He equated the Vuvuzales (sp?) to a Stockholm Syndrome scenario. I agree. I've grown to kind of enjoy them. It would be weird to watch a match without them. Weird.

I dont hate them like others do.. they are annoying when its just one of them, but when its multiple ones I dont mind them. They arent my favorite thing, but I could think of much more annoying things than that.

 

[Wheels]

I'm gonna scurry off the interwebs now to make sure I dont see a score. See ya guys later!

 

[ehizzy3]

i just tune out the vuvuzelas..never had a problem doing that from the first game

 

[Master Shake]

Sunday it all goes down. I called this final on my office pool at work, pretty damn cool.

I can't wait!!!!!

 

[Wheels]

Clockwork Oranje Bitches!!!

 

[Wheels]

[LameR]

Sick goal by Forlan today.

Blow jobs for Twitter followers if the Netherlands win:

In a year already featuring odd World Cup promises, porn star Bobbi Eden appears to have outdone her competitors. The Dutch erotic actress wrote on Twitter that she "will give a BJ to all my followers" if the Netherlands wins the soccer tournament this weekend.

Sucks i'm missing tomorrows game

 

[Haakzilla]

GO NORTHERN EUROPE!!!

 

[Wheels]

Sad to see it end today. No game can bring everyone together like this one truly does. Beautiful game!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Im so sad

It went by so fast

I loved waking up at 630 every day

 

[Wheels]

not sure I like that no call leading to the counter attack. still chances Robben should have finished in regulation.

 

[Wheels]

Congrats to the Spaniards. Still a few members of their team I don't like. But congrats to the most of them

 

[ehizzy3]

ramos, alonso, and casillas!! also bench warmers albiol and arbeloa, i'm happy for them...to bad for wheels and vdv, lol

i missed the game though

 

[speeds]

 

[Wheels]

I have no idea how he wasnt sent off there. That was the only foul where it was too much IMO... the rest were good hard fouls.

I'm happy for everyone but Xavi, Busquets, and Iniesta. Everyone else was cool lol.

And yes feel bad for me!!!

that should have been straight red and van bommel should probably have had 4 or 5 yellows.

other than that i didn't think the fouls were bad on either side and the number of yellows given out was pretty excessive.

Maybe I'm a homer, but I didnt find Van Bommels over the top. But it was just weird, Puyol had his "Sweep the Leg" moment, but I'm guessing the ref played the advantage, but wasnt really an advantage with Casillas right there for it. Oh well, hats off to the Spaniards.

Van Bommel should have been given a second yellow 2-3 times in the Uraguay match.

I thought the game sucked. watched 10-15 minutes of it at a german beer hall, got crowded but there was no excitement, you heard a bunch of "ooh and wows" but no "damn!" like you do with fast paced sports. oh well, maybe will catch it again in 4 years if its more interesting. at least spain won.

todoloo motherfuckerrururururururururururu.

The final was boring as fuck, which was exactly what I expected. It was a super tight game where each side had only 4-5 good chances to score, and 2-3 great chances to score. The game involved the two best teams to have never won a World Cup and both sides were too chicken shit to take any risks. I don't blame them for their tactics given the stakes, but damn, don't put the whole fucking world to sleep, Jesus Christ! And I love soccer.

The third place game was excellent even though it was nearly pointless.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Fuck Spain.

 

[Wheels]

Fuck Spain.

and Puyol and Pique for being douches with the Basura shirt!
