Forlan is the best player of the tournament easily. You can't get lucky all those shots. When he's at the top of the PK box, I bet the fans for the other teams are terrified.
I knew Spain would win, but this was just a dirty way. An attack that was only there due to an offside.
I blame the fact that we lost a player that close to the end, also we had 2 possible goals, but they never took the shot.
Stop, go cool your head, then come back here, Iniesta was ONSIDE on both plays.
If anything, holland got favored by the ref (2 ridiculous fouls and no red cards), if you want to blame someone blame robben, a ''best player'' candidate that misses 2 shots like that in a world cup final doesn't deserve to play in a national team ever again.
Dude... The officiating was obviously terrible, but it wasn't toward anyone. The red card shouldn't have even been a foul, in fact it should be a yellow for flopping. FIFA needs to change something about diving, because diving in the box is ridiculous. I bet that if players stayed up more often, more goals would be scored.
Blame it on Robben. Let him fuck up 2 one on one opportunities. I don't care if Castilla is the best goal keeper in the world, you can't screw up twice.
I personally think that PKs are the most stressful event in any sport. Last minute free-throws aren't even close and so are that hockey thing where they go one on one against the keeper.
Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Holland has proved time after time that they can stand up to pressure. Beating Uruguay might have been easy looking at it on paper, but Uruguay was a very good team that unfortunately depended on one single player. Holland and Spain are both new to the finals, so no one has the mental advantage. I'm prepared to see a 0-0 draw to PKs, or see a 5-0 blow out from either side. It'll be interesting.
Holland-Spain? Wow that's just messed up. I'm going for Holland since I love their style of play and I believe they can be the only team that can puncture Spain's defense.
It will happen, I'm telling you. If Holland has the mental toughness to beat Brazil (mental, not physical), they can stand up to Germany or Spain. I don't know anymore actually if Spain will lose to Germany. It will be a pretty epic game.
Wow I can't believe that Uruguay actually had a chance to equalize at the end. Holland had so many chances to make it 5-1 or 6-1 late in the game. I also can't believe they took out Forman. One of the worst moves in the World Cup.
Germany eats Spain tommorow. And Holland beats Germany 2-1.
"Hey, it's deathMars again, I'm gonna say Holland will easily take out Uruguay, even though they're one of the most hard working team, and it would be easy for Forlan to let a goal slip. I'm also gonna say Germany will take an easy win even though Spain has the BEST line up in the world and have completely controlled every match they have played EVEN the one they lost! Yeah, I'm gonna do that!"
Germany will easily dispatch Spain. Germany shut down Argentina who, I thought, would eat the tournament alive. Germany wins 3-1 while Netherlands wins 2-1.
I hate how old fashioned FIFA is with their no camera referee policy, it would make the game so much more better.
Aside from that: My country made it into the semi-finals! Huzzah Netherlands!
Top 4 is good enough for me, I hope Ghana becomes our opponent, we still have somewhat a chance against them.
Where have you been man? Ghana lost to Uruguay 1-1 (4-2 PKS). It was crazy man. Ghana had a PK in the 120th minute, the last play in the game, and they hit the crossbar for the win.
And @ Nekrodrac: Yeah but his handball won the game pretty much. Ghana missed the PK and because of that they self-destruct. If he doesn't handball, Ghana wins off a last second header. It's a cheap move and he deserves to be disqualified from the tournament.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
