me and you both, brother. needed that one.

and for the record, Van Persie was offside, i think.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-06-10, 02:59 PM

There was your fluke goal. Wow.

mighty maron · 07-06-10, 02:59 PM

phew Ned scores...

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 02:59 PM

offside...surely rvp was offside

$Burm$ · 07-06-10, 03:00 PM

definitely offside

EaglesPhan36 · 07-06-10, 03:01 PM

Sure looked offside. Guess the public is going to get bailed out today.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-06-10, 03:01 PM

Floodgates open now. Nice try Uruguay. Think that deflected one broke their spirit.

Glada Tartan · 07-06-10, 03:02 PM

My god ... they play sooooooo good the Dutch vigilantes!!

Atomicdog · 07-06-10, 03:04 PM

They pretty much erased any doubt with that one.

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 03:04 PM

they musnt have the offside rule yet in uzbekistan

rico · 07-06-10, 03:04 PM

Go Holland! All the Dutch are going to spliff up tonight

they deserve a good smoke after this...

suckerforparlays · 07-06-10, 03:04 PM

it was the linesmens call not his

mighty maron · 07-06-10, 03:06 PM

Win besides....Ned looked very ugly for a 3-1 lead. Cant envision a scenario besides 0-0 Germany Spain tie and 1-0 in penalty shots where I dump another unit on Ned. in this world cup. So high on Ned before this very ugly performance

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 03:12 PM

why would u take forlan off?????

EaglesPhan36 · 07-06-10, 03:13 PM

Still not impressed with the Dutch personally. But the bounces seem to be going their way right now. But in the infamous words of DeeDee Mulligan, Luck don't last forever lawnboy.

agree, EP, and you know your footy better than i. after USA, Dutch are my rooting interest, but must agree that neither Germany nor Spain will be left shaking by this performance. i think they can beat Spain, esp if the Spaniards keep inexplicably sticking with Torres, if Germany keeps up their form and NED plays like this, Orange will be in trouble.

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 03:20 PM

nice goal - get half my stake back now!

English Bloke · 07-06-10, 03:21 PM

Uruguay have had a lot of balls tonight. I'm impressed. They have gave their all. Respect to them. I personally under-estimated them with 4 regulars missing. Great Game!!!!!

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 03:24 PM

farsical finish...thats how they roll in durkystan

teenheat · 07-06-10, 03:26 PM

i actually got excited in the last 5 minutes.

Karayilan9 · 07-06-10, 03:29 PM

Have Holland cut a deal with the devil

Is their no offside where this linesmans from

what a joke that second goal was.

I can't wait for the winner of Spain or Germany to send this team home crying, going to be a nice bet.

Anyway the +1 pushed for the Uruguay backers.

Just seen 12 replays and it may be offside by a gnats nads, but the linesman can't possibly give it

Sunde91 · 07-06-10, 03:33 PM

The time keeping in this sport is really a mockery. The ref gave Uruguay TWO full minutes after stoppage...even when the ball was kicked out of bounds and play was inactive...the ref basically just calls the game whenever he pleases.

Missed offsides, offsides called when it shouldn't have been, missed goals that were blatantly good, bullshit cards, the ref calls the game when he pleases; Is there any objective officiating in this sport?

As soon as play is inactive or the ball is turned over after stoppage with no threat of scoring, call the game, period.

I was screaming...about to punch my mother fukin TV. That was CLOSE to getting tied up...

Total joke.

whitedogau · 07-06-10, 03:35 PM

rvp clearly attempted to get a touch on that ball, surely that must tip the benefit of any doubt to u-r-gay

Capybara · 07-06-10, 03:35 PM

Yeah, it was NOT offsides... give this win to The Netherlands, they earned it. You can't take anything away from them, all they've done is BEAT EVERYBODY! For like 25 matches in a row or something.

I'm starting to like them to win it all actually.

FoolBritannia · 07-06-10, 03:40 PM

Not a stunning performance from either side, but the complete package was a good game, had a small bet on Netherlands to win by 2, not useful from Perreria. Slightly ridiculous in terms of the neverending stoppage time.

The Dutch haven't looked that good in any game so far, but they've won them all, don't count them completely out of the final.

Calm down buddy

Although it's a billion pound business, for some bizarre reason FIFA apply rules based on the game being run in the 1930's.

I know it's frustrating, but until Heil Blatter comes around to 21st century sport, the game of football will always be run by a swatch watch and the vision of a referee and linesman with slightly less than 20-20 vision

What offsides? van Persie wasn't even involved in the play.

Summed it up pretty well

I swear some of you people don't know the game.

Easy bruv, football is not an exact science, compared to Baseball, Basketball, Ice hockey and American Football.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-06-10, 04:06 PM

I actually think of the two teams on the other side, Spain would be the bigger pain in the ass for the Dutch. No possession = no chance. Germany's brand of play I think would suit the Dutch much better. They need an open game.

ANGRYBLACK · 07-06-10, 04:32 PM

Holland/Germany final.
