World Cup!

OH crap!! poor Ghana, missing that winning penalty, so sad.
Hope that justice is served as we go to penalty shootouts.
-
Ghana goalkeeper plays for Wigan and is known as good penalty stopper
-
Where's that hat and i eat it?
-
The ghanians prayed before the penalties, yet they lost.
Goes to prove that there is no God or he hates Ghana.
-
What an unbelievable game that was. Uruguay go through via a blatant bit of cheating, yet Ghana can't capitalise with the Penalty.
Gyan must have balls of steel to take the first peno after he missed with the last kick of the match. And it was a brilliant penalty at that, too.
No idea which way tomorrows Argentina v Germany game will go, although I have a suspicion the Argies will have too much for the Germans. Spain SHOULD progress fairly easily.
-
then we shall have to take them down....
look at this guy... or gal... can't really see
must be hot, since it's 35 degrees centigrade over here...

I heard Paris Hilton was arrested after the Holland game, celebrating like they do in Amsterdam. She was caught smoking weed.

Uruguay paid for the 'cheating' with both a penalty and losing a red-carded striker for the next game. Despite their mistakes they move on as one of the top four best teams in the World. Not bad for a small country.

Indeed, Ghana couldn't capitlise and it's their own fault. However, I'm not sure you can deny it was a flagrant and shamless bit of cheating though. Well done to Uruguay though. Great performance.

After a very long and nice party, i am back and looking forward to the next game.
And off course to the final.
my predict before the start was that Holland this year win the title. And now we are nearly so far. -

You're not alone. Amazing how they come into the match and had a big finish.

Great performance from the German team. Sorry to Argentina go but they lit up the World Cup!
Spain for win in normal time. Hopefully Torres gets a scoresheet.
-
Disappointing Spanish performance, looks like Wednesday will be very exciting.
Germany are on fire, don't wanna jinx them but Spain has a lot of thinking to do
-
we could not play calm, they were very sticky all the game
but i think we were brave enough to win them
Germany has played the best until now but i am confident we will win them again
We will see
-
Juan,
I think your right. The Netherlands - Spain will be the great final.
And for you i hope that Spain wil win, but when they play like the games against Switserland and Paraquay normaly the dutch wil play them out.NETHERLANDS - SPAIN
-
Why the Netherlands should be world champion this year
-
They have not lost a game, the last 25 games. Therefore they are record holder of the longest list off games without lost.
-
They have won al their games in this WC, Germany (Servie) and Spain (Switserland) has both lost 1 game. Uruguay played a draw against France
-
They have kicked out the number 1 favorite Brazil.
-
After 2 lost finals in 1974 and 1978 it is time to win this year.
-
Because i am proud dutch guy who wants to start a big celebration
-
-
I am confused, I just do not get it.
I have read a bunch of blogs and articles pertaining to the upcoming Germany/Spain game and regardless of the German outstanding performances they are still not the favourites to win.
The betting sites has Spain as clear favourites, the blogs say Germany peaked too early, they are still saying regardless of the quality the German youngsters have shown that they will crumble under Spanish experience.Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that Germany are yet again the underdog, it serves them well and motivates them, it's just bewildering to see and understand this phenomenon, have I been watching the same world cup as them?
What am I missing?

Solo,
Spain is the favorit because they are the european champions. But when you see this tournament, Germany has always play a not so good game after a good performance. First game Germany started with a 4-0 and the second game loss agaist Servie.
Spain have played every game very good, and for all the defence. That is way i think the Germans will face a very though game. The strongest point for Spain is the defence midfield. For Germany it is the offensif midfield. So the battle should take place in the midfield, and there are the spanish players better and have more experience.
As a dutchie i hope de Germans will win, because i think that we have chance of winning against Germany then Spain.By the way, i arrived today in South Africa to see and join the orange legion, to hopefully win the world cup
