Real talk.
Full-time: Holland are into the World Cup final. There's a bit of a ruckus as they celebrate and some Uruguayan players express their displeasure with a few of them as well as with the referee. No doubt they're unhappy about Van Bommel's persistent fouling and Holland's second goal. They can be reasonably satisfied with their performance, however, as, despite key absentees, they gave the Dutch a true test. And Holland only scraped through it. They won't be favourites in the final.

My allegiance now switches to the Germans from here on out.
Even Spain can take the Netherlands. I think Germany is gonna win tomorrow so I got Germany too.
Haha, how you like that Uruaguay?
[Diddy]Take that, take that, take that[/Diddy]
[Diddy]Take that, take that, take that[/Diddy]
spain vs netherlands
It would have been the greatest semi-final and finals ever in WC history.
Imagine Ghana beating the Dutch today and they Germany or Spain.
Africa would have kicked all whites out, lol.
@ the Diddy picCan't wait for tmrw's match. Whomever loses I think will also beat Uruaguay as well.
I hope so. Spain is one of the teams I absolutely despise.
I think Germany will win but I picked Spain to win it all for way to long so I'm still backing them.
excellent match. robben is a fantastic player. sneijder has played unbelievably this world cup. going to be a great final. i hope germany wins against spain. world cup fever. No italy, france, brazil, argentina and hopefully spain!!! uruguay put up a great effort. much props to them
Yeah.. at the top of my list are Italy, Spain, and Portugal... All I need is for Spain to fall out now..
I wouldn't say that since they missed so many easy opportunities.
Holland played pretty well today. The thing I don't like about them is they are a bunch of floppers and (over) actors when someone looks at them for too long. As the commentators on ESPN said, they're a good team, they don't need to do that silly shit. On another note, tomorrow's game should be a good one.
Bet that shit hurt like hell...Make em pay tomorrow Germany
Cosign. Plus Germany can celebrate on the pitch tomorrow without fear of the sprinklers coming on...
Argentina front line: Messi, Tevez, DiMaria, Higuain, Maxi, Mascherano
Assumed Spanish front line: Villa, Silva, Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Busquets
Messi over Villa
Tevez over Silva
Xavi over DiMaria
Higuain over Iniesta
Alonso over Maxi
Mascherano over Busquets
4 out of 6 players win for me. Given the goal tally, and the amount of shots that Argentina have taken in this tournament, i'd favor Argentina over Spain to beat Germany.
I don't see Spain doing anything out of the ordinary today.
Who would you favor more to beat the Germans and why?
