World Cup!
-
It's quite ironic in a way. The 1966 world cup that England won (against Germany), one of the goals that WAS allowed (came off the cross bar and then bounced down) and I'm pretty sure its been confirmed (using "Goal directed metrology") to NOT have crossed the line.
Two games today and two more reasons - not for "goal-line technology" but - (IMO) for a wimbledon-style ability of a team to dispute a linesman or ref's decision (only say two or three times during each half) and have it unquestioningly confirmed with video analysis - be it a ball crossing the line (or not) or a goal created via an offside pass.
EDIT: More evidence supporting the need for "goal-line technology" - referees with histories of bad decisions:

Oh crap, the head hurts. Aspirin just does not cut it.
4:1 to Germany, 4:2 in reality IMO. A great win, a convincing win, and a hard next game vs Argentina next Saturday. I do not think my liver will make it, nor my wallet
Had a great day, made some new friends, probably some enemies (I was all dressed up in German paraphernalia)
Picture of my youngest boy all kitted out.

Today is the day for the Netherlands, now should this team must show the world where they are capable of.
Against slowakije they are warming up for the next game against Brazil on friday.
The supporters from Holland are in a good mood.So let the game begin.
My predict for the games today
Netherlands - Slowakije 3-1
Brazil - Chili 2-0
-
Half time and the dutch are leading in this game, so far slowakije doesn't afraid the dutch defence. The only missing link in this game, is the fact that de dutch don't score more goals.
But perhaps the second half is going better. -
Holland win as expected, but not very pretty, substituting van Persie and Robben was a gamble IMO, thankfully it worked out.
Slovakia broke the back four a few times which should concern the coach as if they face Brazil later this week they need to keep the back line solid.
Slovakia took a few chances but do not have the depth in experienced players to really pose any true threats, Brazil on the other hand will, so let's hope Holland can switch themselves from idle to amazing next game. -
Half time and it's looking like a Brazil victory, Chile's defense has broken down. The Netherlands have got a huge obstacle now as it seems that Dunga's team have hit prime form, this is the Brazil as we know them.
Very much like the difficult game Germany will have against the favourites Argentina. -
Holland has a team where no opponent wil score, otherwise with a penalty. And that also was 1 time(slowakije) not a correct one. Also is Holland the team with the longest list of games not lost 23 now.
The game Holland play's is like a spider, circle around your oppenent and wrap them in. When that is correctly happened. Then score and play the game out.Dunga said yesterday that Holland play's like south-american teams. I think and hope that Holland will go to the next round.

Up to the world title.
We are in the winning mood. And with Robben back on his track we beat the Brazilians with 2-0
-
Spain showed much improvement from group games, definitely are keeping the best for last, I believe they will make it to the semi finals easily as Paraguay will try defend as they do not have the strikers to beat Spain. Hopefully if Germany came overcome the Argentinians (tough game) then They can meet Spain in the semi's, always a great game between the two.

I am very happy to be in QUARTER FINALS
hi HvanEssen may be we meet -
that would not be bad solo,
though i think i prefer to beat Argentina if the Germans are not able to do it
Maybe we meet too
solo
in one of your halfs-
but first SPAIN has to beat PARAGUAY .)_

P.S. Joe Pecshi sucks comparing to this nugget! -
We are awake here in Holland, and we are ready to show the world our real face.
Today we are going to the next round, the semi-finals, because we beat the Brazilians.
I predict a score: Netherlands - Brazil 2-0
goals a coming from ROBBEN en KUYT. -
Can't wait for today's games. My predictions are:
Netherlands 1 v 3 Brazil
Uruguay 2 v 0 Ghana -
Everybody in Holland is ready for hopefully a beautiful day.
And then the orange legioen in the streets
-
The last two days without WC action have been tough, glad we got some games today and tomorrow.
Some real tough to call ones like Brazil vs Netherlands, I'd like to see the Dutch win this one and live to fight another day, but the opponents are Brazil and I need not saying anything more.
Good luck, and go Orange.
