Spain looks fabulous. it will be a crime if they lose this match. it will be a shame to see Germany lose...but Spain looks the better team..70 minutes in.
Germany playing the game they want. And, all they need is one corner with their height and quick strike ability.
Absolutely. From a player who should have had a goal in the 1st. - As the announcer just takes the words off my keyboard! This is a beautiful game. Will be interesting now, if Germany pushes forward and if Spain can counter. Spain is great when it gets under 10 minutes at just passing the ball back and forth - hard to take possession from them.
Spain looks to be a better match for Oranje.... although if we were to win , beating Germany would be SWEET revenge
I was showing my duel-love for the current play on the field from both squads....with my hopeful ending emphasizing Germany. but to answer your question: Es lebe
Sadly he never won the world cup or got to even play in a final , but my cousin had a GREAT career. Oranje winning will help ease the pain however ! Still feel Holland has a magic game in them , so on to Sunday
Holland vs. Spain .... anxious days till Sunday , but I do like our chance. Oranje just finds ways to win and and have a resolve not seen before in Dutch National sides
Most enjoyable match I've seen. Spain played spectacular. And tremendous sportsmanship on both sides.
Bummer for my Germany vs. Netherlands match up....oh well. Congrats to Spain..... pulling for Oranje for sure!!! (will make my wife happy.....and then me happy )
I don't dislike the Netherlands. But, I will be rooting for Spain on Sunday. They epitomize what great soccer should look like, imo.
Every tournament I root for the Dutch when Italy gets eliminated!! I think they are due and I am rooting for them big time. Personally, I think Netherlands would have had a harder time playing Germany, but after hearing of Spain's performance today, that may not be true. I will have to check out the replay tonight if I can catch it. It's just that Spain didn't impress me until the Germany game. Will be a very interesting final.
Spain has to win to be the best team at the World Cup , Netherlands have not lost , so if they beat Spain ( everything crossed ) certainly they will have been the best team , with no losses.
[mod]not needed[/mod] The US squad is crap, you act like the US is a world class team and LD is a world class player. You get real. I know every goal counts, but 2 of the 4 were handed to him, A PK, that he almost miss the damn goal, and the last was were the GK handed him the ball right in front of the damn goal. If you want to have a woody for the USA squad, then that's your choice.
I like US soccer, but I also know and understand that the US is just a average team. I know that I may have pissed off a few in here, but I'd rather be honest with my opinion then lie to someone.
This post is ridiculous on every level and projects too damn much. everybody else in this thread.... Have I ever said the US was a "world class" team? anybody? [mod]not needed[/mod]
