Topic: 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread

Kinda funny Spain losses to little ol Switzerland but beats Germany. Than again this World Cup has been full of surprises.

Go Paul the Octopus

Paul the Octopus is the only one I can really count on in this World Cup.

Not any team, not any player, not any referee. Just Paul the Octopus.

I think instead of using technology to assist the referee, we should have Paul-assisted referees. Mr. Blatter, do you copy?

Conrats to Spain, see you in Johannesburg!

And now its time for one of our favorite World Cup sing along classics here in Holland:
"Schade Deutschland, alles ist vorbei, alles ist vorbei!"

And good luck to Uruguay in third place match, if they would own such great a country in football as the mighty Manschaft, that'd be awesome.

1-1 at half-time. Come on Uruguay, you can do it!

EDIT: Great goal by Forlan! 2-1. This is a great match for a third-place match.

FIFA is so delusional.

So you only screw up a few games and you do excellent?

Awesome. Take that to any other sport and see how well that works.

They screwed up like four of sixty-two games. That's like NFL refs screwing up 24 games in the regular season.

Hey how about we get someone not stuck in the 18th century to be FIFA pres so this laughable stat can actually get fixed.

Everyone who knows and watched the game's knows that fifa's statement about the refs being good are a complete load.

What a load of Bullocks. If you can use technology to raise the bar to 100%, why not do it. FIFA is really pissing me off.

I do not dare to think what would happen if Sneijder makes his decisive goal in the finals tonight but the refs say it does not count even though the TV-footage clearly shows it does.

So do you have to get it wrong like 20% off the time to have bad refs in a tournament or something? What nonsense.

On a sidenote, too badabout Uruguay, they put up a good fight though.

BATHROOM TIME EVERYONE GO NOW!

Don't want to miss any more karate kicks to the chest.

Well, Spain is the new world champion.

Spain is the new world champions, congrats to the spanish people on NL (if there are any) and all spanish people in the world clebrating their victory.

Dutch, what can I say? you deserved it that in which you guys didn't deserve anymore heartbreak but at the same time your way of play does not make me wanna feel sorry for your defeat.

And congrats to New Zeland for being the only team not to lose at the tournament

......

(Insert random curseword here)

Well that..... sucks.

It probably was too good to be true. Oh well, onwards to Poland were we WILL win!

How is that possible if they never lost a game they would have won the final not Spain they have had to lose a game somewhere. They didnt even make it to the Round of 16.

Anyway, pretty good World Cup this year, of course this was the first World Cup that I was able to watch every game since 1994 thank you TIVO lol. Some really bad ref calls but over all a good tournament. Congrats to Spain.

Cant wait for 2014 XD

You can just tie and get knocked out at the group stage.

Spain WON! And Torres is a beast

That counts as Australia too.
