***Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread***

I'm not defending it i'm just curious as to what else can one do? Press and allow a possession team to score?

Teams do what they have to do to win, I understand that. But just to me personally, attacking and pressing the opponent is what wins my respect. I'm not saying anyone has to agree with that. It's not like Germany are lacking in talent to employ those tactics as well.
 
wow, as a novice football fan, I'm shocked to see Germany looking regular as hell, after them domination games they enjoyed

Not surprising. I have said it, and have been vindicated again. This game is about the midfield, and the midfield is the game. Spain have the number 1 midfield in the world, the Netherlands also have an excellent midfield with Snejder, De Jong, Robben and co... I think that the Nederlands will lose... I do not think that Van Persie has scored a single goal in the tournament. Spain could not beat Brazil, simply because they would never be able to outsprint Maicon, Michel Bastos and Maicon. However, they would foul Felipe Melo out of the game because I do not think that he can handle the pressure in midfield from Iniesta...
 
I wouldnt go that far..Italians are worst.

Yep, Italy fans wouldn't support this guy on their team:

That's fair, and I respect that. :cool:

Sometimes the "anti-football" rants can be overwhelming. Teams go out to win, not look pretty. If that what it takes, that's just what it takes.

But I hear you. Your sentiment is echoed worldwide.
 
how do you lose a world cup final by letting Puyol beat you off a header .

MUTHERFUGGER

The fascista were the better team and should have scored well before that corner. I hate to admit it but it is true. I was solidly behind the Nazi.. Oh well.
 
Spain played their game.. Germany...ehhh..they didn't show up. They had some good attacks, but Spain snuffed them all out. Spain just dominated possession as expected.. I'm not sure what Germany's gameplan was but that wasn't the same team we have seen all tournament.

Midfield is the game, the game is about the midfield. Cut it anyway you want, the two teams that have dominated in midfield will be playing in the final.
 
This is BS. Germany v. the Dutch would have been an instant classic. So much history there. Now we are going to have to listen to ESPN overhype the Spanish the way that they did Brasil. Full credit to the Germans for going out with class. We KNOW for a fact that had Spain lost, there would have been an incident. I don't even want to go watch the final now. The bars are going to be packed with clueless/obnoxious barca fans...:smh::smh::smh: Its going to be like going to any bar in ny/nj when Italia play...:lol:
 
The most racist supporters in world football will be at the World Cup final in Africa.

The world works in mysterious ways.

Holland all the way..actually i was telling my girl that the dutch team used to be about 55% percent black i remember because i used to visit my father in Holland when he worked for Heineken...and i loved watching them with Patrick Kluivert, seedorf and davids...they were Suriname born..but if u go to holland especially in the black areas u will see a lot of black peeps from suriname...fine women :dance::dance: but i guess the team is more united now..because people always said the team was divided...oh well i will be supporting Holland.

Yea, the Dutch are my only option now. Anything but seeing Spain lift the trophy on African soil is fine by me.

Seedorf has always been highly underrated in my opinion...
 
Pedro sonned the hell out of Torres in front of billions of viewers, Roman Abramovich is on the phone to Liverpool like '£70mil..........fukk outta here''
