ING Bank is the sponsor of the Netherlands soccer team. They made a commercial where the Netherland (nickname Orange after the name off the royal family) is marching up in South Africa.

Some very interesting friendlies today:
Spain v Saudi Arabia
Serbia v New Zealand, and
Slovakia v CameroonCould give an indicator as to what kind of tournament many of these will have.
-
Interesting meeting tonight.
The Netherlands - Ghana
When the Netherlands win this match, they have won 18 games without any loss or draw. The orange legion is a winning path to the world title.

Very confident there!
I'm sorry but I think Holland will struggle to win the world cup, I think you're defence isn't strong enough and players such as Kuyt and Babel, leave a lot to be desired. Happy to be proved wrong though.
-
Attacking is the best defence. The dutch team wil play always attacking with the big four.
van Persie (Arsemal) Kuyt (Liverpool) Robben (Bayern Munich) Sneijder (Inter Milan) we have a very good attacking side. Also we have other good players such as van Bommel (Bayern Munich) and van der Vaart (Hamburger SV).
Last week we played a very good match against Mexico (2-1 won) who is also a competitor in South Africa. And the poule off the dutch with Japan en Cameroon and Denmark is not so stark. -
Hi Guys,
I came across a nice World Cup Planner Chart that some of you might find useful. Further details can be had at iGIZMO http://issue.igizmo.co.uk/1Y4beaad26e032e807.cde

Thanks Mike, my boys will use this for sure, they are Americanized and this world cup is going to be an education on soccer, they are stoked!
(my youngest was mortified that soccer was more popular than 'football' in the world, and confused when I explained that the 'World series' did not include the world)
-
Nice find Mike, in a similar vein, if you want to see where your predictions end up, use this spreadsheet. It's a free Excel sheet with a schedule of all tournament games. It automatically calculates the position of each football team according to game scores you put in.
Have a play!
I have a Brazil and Spain final, with England and Argentina getting knocked out in the semis.
-
Some interesting results tonight ...
FT Holland 4 - 1 Ghana
FT Portugal 3 - 1 Cameroon -
The Orange Legion (the netherlands) wins again. In the Netherlands the orange fieber is back in the streets.
-
Normaly women don't like soccer, but this time they also do love it.

Holland on warpath with a 6-1 win on Hungary.
Holland is now arrived in South Africa and is waiting for there first match against Denmark.
My guess it wil be a 4-1 victory for Holland -

Yeah... Hungarian football has been a ridicule for the last 20 (or rather 25-30) years... So this score does not (yet) mean that Holland is very good!

Polonia is the footbal nation who is organising the European Championship because that's only way to get to the final round of a tournament.
There last succes was under L.Beenhakker a dutch trainer. -
SPAIN is getting ready
-
Less than an hour to the start of WCS 2010, any quick predictions for the opening game?
South Africa vs Mexico
My productivity will be low for the next 30 days.
-
I am so out of touch as far as the SA squad is concerned, they did look like a bonded team the other day when they beat Denmark 1:0, so with that friendly win and the homeground advantage I'd say it's a 50/50.
I predict a draw. (I'm always wrong however)
