< is hopeful that all that kinda hooey will be left in the change rooms . . . didn't see to many theatrics in the last couple of games so fingers crossed

Hey come on now guys, why the hate on my fave player?

I really don't get why people claim Robben dived a lot in the Holland - Brazil match. Did they somehow miss the constant fouls vs him? Or the fact that of all the fouls most were against Robben instead of any other player? It seemed like a hunt down...

Thanks for the earworm

if netherlands lose, there will only have been one undefeated side this world cup. lmao.

Hahaha!

And Paul the octopus has a rival, Mani the parakeet :

Just some bits and pieces re the 3/4th play off tomorrow . . . interesting actually

SoccerPunter.com - World-cup-2010 Uruguay vs Germany Head-to-Head Statistics

Not sure I agree with everything here . . . especially the last paragraph . . . I think there has been plenty of excitement this World Cup but easy reading and a reasonable summation . . . in my humble (and let's face it, reasonably inexperienced) opinion

World Cup 2010: Uruguay Vs. Germany 3rd and 4th Playoff Preview and Predictions | Bleacher Report

personally, hoping that the Germany who came out and sent England and Argentina packing do the same to Uruguay . . . and yes, I am swayed slightly by the whole Suarez thing, but eh, that's just me . . . see you all in the early hours of my Sunday morning

oh and before I go . . . here's one for the ladeeeeez

I'm reasonably sure U2@NYCs' hot german friend will make several appearances on the morrow so just trying to keep things on an even keel people

 

[coolian2]

zoos and aquariums must be getting a bit over the media by now!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

If the bird picks Netherlands and the octopus picks Spain then it MUST be a draw.

 

[Purplereign]

. . . but if the octopus eats the bird . . . . . . what then?

 

[MadForIt]

Paul the Octopus has joined the party as well!
Here's his contribution

I hope Germany wins! Send Uruguay home.

For Sunday's game. I'm just going to enjoy watching, two great teams. Very best of luck to both!

 

[Miringeltje]

I think the final will be a very tight game.

NL and Spain have played against each other 9 times before.
4 wins for each and a tie.

The last 2 games were won by NL.
But those were a long, long time ago (2000 and 2002)

 

[DrTeeth]

Hey, why's Germany playing tonight instead of tomorrow?

Oh right, they didn't make it to the finals!

 

[Purplereign]

^ oooh that's nasteeeeee


and mamma mia the theatrics have begun already


< wondering . . . if the players get carded here does it have any impact on future games? am guessing no which may mean we are in for flop overload . . . boooo

 

[DrTeeth]

That should have been a red card right there! You can end a player's carreer with a foul like that!

 

[Purplereign]

< damn I missed it . . . not paying as much attention as I should

 

[Purplereign]

didn't miss that!

 

[DrTeeth]

Nice one! Great shot and a goalie that's rubbish. Good combination!

 

[Purplereign]

you were saying!

that was a pretty goal! game on germany . . . cmon!

 

[DrTeeth]

Schweinsteiger fucked up, you don't see that often. Well at least I'm glad both teams decided to make a match out of it.

did he ever! hope it doesn't come back to bite him

 

[Thora]

Of course the two times that I leave the room to check my laundry, both teams score. Note to self - never the leave the room while the game's going.

 

[Purplereign]

. . . if you like you can leave now so Germany can score again and then you can stay put!

 

[Thora]

Sure! My laundry should be done any minute now. I do want Germany to win!

 

[DrTeeth]

Are you cheering for the Germans Purplereign???

Suarez almost scored so I guess Thora came back in the room just in time.
