Foooooooootball mania time guys! Since the 2010 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner, I was wondering who was everyone rooting for. My team of choice is Germany, and just today I got myself a German football jersey and tube scarf. I'm sure they're gonna kick major ass this year! GO DEUTSCHLAND!!!!

How about you guys, who are you cheering for?

Sorry guys for not being on here much for the past few days but I'll give you one guess to where I was. Seriously guess ;)

And fucking Webb should go to fucking hell. Who the hell does he think he is, does he even KNOW what a foul is?! I'm so freaking mad >.<

Yoli I'm sorry to say this but the Spanish players didn't show much sportsmanship. I mean look at what Iniesta and Xavi did with all the pushing and shoving or when Casillas couldn't catch the football thrown from his own teammates, Holland still passed it on to him.

And did you SEE how Spain were beating Robben up everytime he gets the ball?! To top that off, stupid Webb gave Robben a yellow card when he was supposed to get a penalty shot. That had me riled up to the max! Besides, the goal Iniesta scored was a blatant offside. Even a blind man could see it.

They didn't play fairly… foul play with scoundrel players…

What was this?

A RED card, obviously! That's just an example….. and don't say he didn't meant to, cause they played the whole match in that way!

We won the fairplay's prize, and we deserve it. We don't play trying to kill people… like Holland.

And the goal wasn't offside, watch it again.

You won't convince me of anything, so don't try to. xD

Hi Pieter I wish you hard luck for your team,but the goal wasn't offside at all,violence was in both teams,me as a neutral comentator,the we did not watch a footbal game as much as we watched a Rugby game…so,I guess you and Yoli should not make violence even out of the stadium !

This is football and not softball besides no anti-football sentiments rose from either the Dutch players nor the supporters. I think I was the only one over there that kept booing over Spain's tackles  and their 'faking' of injuries.The game would have been a lot better and entertaining to watch if it had less drama coming from the Spanish team, or if a better referee was judging. If I had to choose one player that I favored from the entire Spanish team it would have to be Puyol. He just dusts himself off every tackle and pats the other Dutch players with great spirit.

Dude, I was AT the match and I did watch it on TV again. I guess Van Bommel did what he did just to retaliate against what Spain were doing to Robben and obviously to stop and break Spain's advances. Something like taking one for the team.

Well it's over now and there is no point in everyone trying to say who was better or not (of course except for the fact that Webb and his yellow card fetish should just go to hell). I would have really liked for Germany or Holland to win since I am a Bayern Munich supporter. Hmmm…guess we would have to wait and see that at Brazil in another 4 year's time. CAMPIONI OLEEEEEEEE!!!

Oh well I agree with you Pieter that the good player is who makes clean tackles but was De Jong's air kik wright to Aalonso's chest a clean tackle,I think that was th ost violent move in the match and he deserved a red so say thanks to Webb

 

But it's Ok although it was an awful display from both teams we can look at the full part of the glass,it was a great world cup,

IN MY OPINION IT IS URUGUAY WHO DESERVES THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD CUP AFTER SPAIN AND NETHERLANDS

Of course, I love them ever since I was a kid! FC Bayern, Deutscher Meister! Let's sing the anthem together, Pieter xD

Yeah, I saw the league and honestly Webb is and will always be a bad referee, and I was very surprised when he was chosen to referee the final FIFA match. I was like NOOOOOOOO NOT HIIIIIIMMMMMMM!!!!! He should resign after what had happened. Did you see the red card he gave Heitinga?! He didn't do anything to deserve that! <(
