World Cup!

Does it means that Netherlands is going to lose next sunday to prove your loyalty to the kings of Spain?

No it means that in football, actually the Dutch players in Spanish clubs are the kings!!

Pichuneke,
I like your reaction but is not quite correct because, it is not dutch blood but german. So we are honored the king of Spain, with our German blood.

William of Nassau
am I, of German blood.
Loyal to the fatherland
I will remain until I die.
A prince of Orange
am I, free and fearless.
The king of Spain
I have always honored.

But when we are going is history, then you can say that South-Africa and Kaapstad are founded and raised from dutch people. That is way they have a language with a dutch accent in it.

With our German Blood and our Spanish King and the Dutch Strength we will win this cup. Just like the european cups from Barcelona comes from the foot of the dutch players.

I was joking, sometimes I have limitations writting in english language, I hope you understand that I wish that the best wins next sunday Anyway I copied the translation of the anthem from Wikipedia.

I know that spanish are not very loved there (Something about the Duque de Alba to frighten the kids? ). Don't worry, it's the past.

I have to leave, I haven't corrected the text, sorry for the english!

Note: I was in South Africa 10 years ago. I know the dutch accent when they speak english... sometimes I couldn't understand anything!

This is it!! the final game that will decide who truly is the greatest football playing nation in the world.

I was glad to see Germany beat Uruguay yesterday to claim third place, I hoped they'd be playing today but Spain proved stronger on the day and deservedly so, good news is that Loew will be retained and the squad is so young that we will see them again in Brazil 2014.

Now for the Netherlands vs Spain game, I worry about that frigging octopus Paul, who has predicted every single game this world cup correctly, as he did with Euro 2008 with exception of the final game (also involving Spain) which he got wrong, maybe, just maybe he suffers from BMT (big match temperament) and is wrong again today, if not then the Dutch will need to add calamari to their fries and peanut dip tonight.

I hope for a clean game, without Robben falling over his own feat and crying foul, a game fit for a final, a goal extravaganza if possible.

At the end of the night we will be crowning a new winner, one that has never lifted this trophy before, congratulations to both teams for reaching this point and may the best team win.

My sentiments exactly.

I do think Spain will win tonight, I haven't been impressed by the Dutch this WC at all.

thank you leedeetee and thankyou solo, but as the video says lets dream it is for us all,
so,
HOLLAND, AND spain ARE RULING THE DREAM FOR THE NEXT 4 FOURS YEARS
and SPAIN is going to win the**CUP**

(mind you that i have had an snap SIESTA this afternoon and visualized how Casillas mixed himself and got a goal inside just before the first half and my others players took tha ball and hide it so well that no one noticed..)
so it is forme 2 half the one to decide.

Cheers everybody
AND GOOD LUCK TO SPAIN i say, i think
i wish ¡
and it is going to happen ¡

LET US DREAM

Halftime and no goals yet, pretty even game so far, de Jong is lucky not to get a red card as that was a savage studs to chest foul. 5 yellow cards already.
Van Persie continues to dissapoint and Villa is invisible, Puyong looks in form, wondering if Torres will come on second half.

JuanV.Soler

HOLLAND does not seem to be gentlemen so far
bad suprise

What? Robben, Van Bommel, De Jong gentlemen? never. effective, yes, gentlemen NO!

I now believe in Paul the octopus, he is 100%.

Well done Spain!!

Netherlands too bad.

Whhoohooo, we have a new world champion!!!

(nb) Paul only has 6 months to live (lifespan of octopus is 3 years and he is 2.5 years old)

michaliszissiou

Well done Spain

As a greek I was thinking "what if Paul was wrong?"

I said on first page about South Africa:

I will support the wonderful game and hope South Africa does not cock this up

I congratulate them for pulling this off and making it an awesome event, one worthy of the history books, well done South Africa, you made me proud.

FYI!!!

Thomas Mueller (Germany) gets 'Golden Boots' for most goals (assists gave him edge)
And Diego Forlan (Uruguay) wins man of the tournament, deserved for sure.
