HOT TAKE

Bono looked good with eyeliner

Listening to some of Andy Barlow's work on Lamb. I hope some of that atmosphere makes it to SOE. Since what we've been offered so far is straight up pop tunes.

We've qualified so it's payback for the hand of god if you don't :) only joking for me a World Cup without holland is gonna be strange but if Argentina didn't qualify aswell it would be mental. Not in a good way either.

Lol yes I wish that goal never happened haha but the other goal in that game was fantastic. Ps although maradona had som amazing moments as a young player, he provides more embarrassment then it was worth lol. Yes it would be sad to see those two teams out though. :(

:) maradona is arguably the greatest ever, no denying that. And yes as much as it pains me to say it :) the other goal he scored was one of the best ever.

Sadly here in Vancouver I have yet to hear TBT on the radio even once! I check the playlists from time to time of the radio stations that are most likely to play it here and yet nothing at all! Only the peak 102.7 played TBT 2 or three times on the first day and that's it. They play a lot more Coldplay and just about anything else but zero new u2.

Any college/university stations you can find? That's where I'm hearing it in NYC. :)

This generation of players isn't as good as the generations before. Only word class player in the current team is Robben, who played his last international match for Holland yesterday. He was incredible in the first half against Sweden, but it was too late after losses against France and Bulgaria.

World Cup will be tough to watch next year for me...

Not as good but there's still plenty in that Dutch team to qualify. Shame your not there to be honest, grew up with great Dutch teams and the fans always bring something to the tournament. Don't think it will be the same World Cup without the Dutch there :-(

I bet the Argentina gig last night was insane. Shame the DVD wasn't filmed there I bet the crowd was wild. Reading that the band came on soon as the ref blew for full time. Bet it was some gig

I am from Bangladesh and I can assure you that joy here is no less than in Argentina after they got the ticket to Russia. Argentina has the biggest fan base in my country than anywhere in the world except Argentina ( obviously ).

Holland is my 2nd most favorite international team after Argentina.

I heard that DVD was initially planned to be filmed in Argentina but at the last moment they changed the plan and decided to do the DVD in Mexico. I think the uncertainty over Argentina's qualification to the world cup finals may have an effect on DVD not being filmed there.
 
Hoping to see more videos from yesterday. Incredible reactions from the crowd during the game and leading to the start of the show.

The decision on where to film would have been made much a while ago, well before it was known what Argentina's World Cup standing was.

Awww! Thanks you!!! :) Argentina is not well like din some parts of the world but I'm glad you guys like them! :) they have produced some great players over the years for sure and play a great tactical game. Just lately they are not as great as they could be. But I'm certainly so happy they made it. I'm hoping with all the recent coaching changes etc they can pull through this time! I bet yesterday's concert was insane! South Americans get pretty wild after soccer victories lol.

As a player, I have to agree with you! There were very few players of his calibre! As a person that's a whole different story especially after he got into his drugs in the 90's which it's a shame. And his coaching for Argentina was horrible. Not only that he would pick silly public fights kina like a certain someone in the Oval Office. Messi is a lot better in that department if you exclude his tax issues. He is amazing abroad but at home he gets under a lot of pressure. I can't blame him though as a lot of argentines just count on him to work miracles and that pressure must be insane on him.
 
i'm not really supposed to divulge details here, but expect a particularly friendly magazine to have a particular frontman on the cover in mid November.
