July 4, 201016 yr [spoiler=Quote]Germany beat the Great Holland side of 1974 in the final. Then they played each other during the 1988 European Cup where a few of the Dutch players pretended to wipe their backsides with one of the German shirts after the game. Then came very ill-tempered match they had in the 1990 World Cup, both sets of supporters heckled the other's national anthem, both teams tried to kick each other off the pitch, Voller (Germay) upset the Dutch by diving so Frank Rijkaard (Holland) spat right into his mullet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXmXpDfWUlM Oh, and the German occupation of Holland during WW2 might have contributed to it a little in the beginning. --- Coincidentally, Jurgen Klinsman mentioned before the England v Germany game that the Germans enjoy playing England but that they hate playing the Dutch because of the ferocity of the rivalry I didn't realize it would be that severe :ohnoes: Should make for a good final match :thumbup: Player since 2004.

July 4, 201016 yr remember when i called germany "underrated"? my dark horse pick would be germany though. def underrated for what they have well people laughed and now they're the favourites to win :razz: I have to say I've been really surprised (and impressed) by the Germans, I really want them in the final with the Netherlands.
July 4, 201016 yr I would like a Spain vs Holland final. I always like to see teams win tournaments that they have never won before and both teams like to play good football. Not that I would be opposed to seeing Germany in the final either, they play some nice counter-attacking football and they've been great to watch.

July 5, 201016 yr Ah Suarez, he's a real hero.You know, if Ghana were facing Germany and that happened, and it was Mertesacker who was standing there instead of Suarez, he would've just stuck his face in the way.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI1HRDPSXQA Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
July 5, 201016 yr meh suarez did what he thought he had to do. he took the red card and ghana had a PK ghana choked so hard it doesnt matter if they wouldve gotten through anyway :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

Not that I would be opposed to seeing Germany in the final either, they play some nice counter-attacking football and they've been great to watch. Me too. I'd love a Germany vs. Holland final, but I don't think it's possible for us to beat Germany in this form (and I don't think I can live with a defeat by Germany). :razz: I didn't expect them to be this good. We still need to beat Uruguay as well. I have a nasty feeling about it. :sad: Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
July 5, 201016 yr I'd rather see Spain in the final than Germany. Germany have looked so much better. But, a The Netherlands - Germany final would be awesome too. Especially if we win :)
July 5, 201016 yr On the other hand, the Argentines basically had no midfield, what was excellent for Germany's game, so... Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
July 5, 201016 yr Come to think of it, Germany haven't had a real challenge yet. They haven't played any good sides yet. England has been pathetic this world cup, and Argentina's defence is not even close to being world class. Spain will be their first real challenge and I look forward to see them break Spain or get destroyed by Spain.
July 5, 201016 yr Author I almost feel like betting 10 on a win for Germany. Spain can do more than what they've shown, but so far haven't been impressive at all.

We still need to beat Uruguay as well. I have a nasty feeling about it. :sad: I don't know, Holland usually smash though the group stages and then flop but this time they have been building up and grinding out results, that sort of thing is essential in tournament football. Italy and Germany are the masters of that. Plus I think both Spain and Holland keep possession a lot better than the teams Germany have played so far. Everyone really needs to be wary of their counter-attacking play though because they break better than anyone left in the tournament.

July 5, 201016 yr i think uruguay can still upset the netherlands if they catch em unguarded. i'm really worried about germany. there's a good chance spain will be out this wednesday unless more than 3 players step it up. almost everyone in germany's squad has contributed to them getting to the semis. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
July 5, 201016 yr For some reason I thought the Uruguay Netherlands game was today, so I was frantically searching for on the TV then I realized it isn't until tomorrow. :wall:
July 6, 201016 yr Come to think of it, Germany haven't had a real challenge yet. They lost in the group stages, and some of the people they played should've been a challenge, but their quick attacking power it too much for most teams. RIP Michaelangelopolousu can control my tip it account, but youll never control how fine i am!This is by FAR my favorite song: I love N_odie and would never edit his posts! I love Rainy_Day too <3 And also Cowman_133. <33 Oh, and Laikrob is a going to hunt me down and kill me like a pest kangaroo if I reveal how awesome she is. I owe tripsis skittles.

I guess Argentina just didn't show up. I didn't watch that game though.
July 6, 201016 yr Reason why france and italy failed so much was because we [bleep]ed em up so badly during the europa cup (3-1 and 4-1 respectively) that they still feel it. If theres gonna be a final Holland - Germany then we have to win, we just have to.If we win i will wear a 'Schade Deutschland alles ist vorbei' signature for the next few months [hide]Felix, je moeder.Je moeder felixJe vader, felix.Felix, je oma.Felix, je ongelofelijk gave pwnaze avatar B)Felix, je moeder.[/hide]
July 6, 201016 yr GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL Staying up to 2:30 am to watch all the games now. Fun. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
July 6, 201016 yr i think we saw the 4th place team, and the loosing finalist today. lousy performance, at least 5 goals was a consolation
July 6, 201016 yr This is just feeling unreal lol, world cup final :ohnoes: I'll go crazy if the Netherlands win Chuck Norris doesn't ever need a compass; he randomly points somewhere and north goes there in order not to anger him.
